Displaying and hiding file information

Select the file and directory information that you want to display in a file transfer session. The columns that are displayed in the left and right panes of the session window can be displayed or hidden.

About this task

You can display the following file and directory information.
  • Size. For files only.
  • Date created. Displayed in Coordinated Universal Time.
  • Date modified. Displayed in Coordinated Universal Time.
  • Attributes. The following file attributes can be listed.
    Table 1. File attributes
    Attribute Description Controller file system Target file system
    A Archive * *
    R Read-only * *
    D Directory * *
    H Hidden * *
    S System * *
    C Compressed *
    E Encrypted *
    I Indexed *
When you hover the mouse over an entry in the table, a tooltip displays the same information. The operating system that you are running determines which columns you can hide or display. The Date created and Attributes columns are not available when you are running a Linux operating system. Use the following options to configure the session view.

Procedure

In the pane that you want to configure, right-click the column heading row and complete the steps for the relevant option.
  • Display a column

    Select the column name that you want to display.

  • Hide a column

    Clear the selected column name that you want to hide.

  • Synchronize the panes

    Select Synchronize Table Panes to display the same column headings in the left and right panes. This option is selected as default, the first time you start a file transfer session. However, note that the pane that you select Synchronize Table Panes in determines what is displayed in both panes. If Synchronize Table Panes is not selected and you select it in the left pane, the column headings in the right pane are overwritten with the column headings in the left pane.

Results

At the end of the session, the column selection is saved and is displayed the next time that you start a file transfer session.
