CuteFTP Home's Main Screen

The main window is used to transfer files to and from remote servers and is divided into four panes. The two center panes represent files available on local and remote drives, much like Windows Explorer. When you first open CuteFTP Home, the upper pane is hidden. You can choose to hide or display the upper pane, the center left pane, and the bottom pane.

 

CuteFTP Home Main Screen

Upper (Log) pane

The Log pane displays the commands you send and the server's responses.  CuteFTP logs this information to inform you of completed transactions or assist in troubleshooting.

Center left (Local) pane

The Local pane displays files and folders from your hard drive.

Center right (Remote) pane

The Remote pane displays the files and folders on the remote server.

Lower (Queue) pane

The Queue pane shows the files currently being transferred to the server.  If you want to transfer files at a later time, you can also store them here temporarily.
