Filtering the Filesystem List

You can filter the display of the files and folders in the Local and Remote Filesystem panels to display only the files that you want, by name, file type, size, and/or date modified to limit the display to specific files and folders.

To filter the filesystem list

  1. Click the Filter link in the upper right corner of the filesystem pane. The Filter dialog box appears.

  2. In the Filter files or folder named box, type the name and/or type of file, or leave the default of *.* to filter all files. For example:

  3. (Optional) In the Modified date area, click an option (on or before, on or after, between/and) and then specify to display only files that were modified on a particular date or date range. Do one of the following:

  4. (Optional; You have to specify a date or date range if you want to specify the file size.) In the Size area, specify whether to display files that are at least or at most <n> KB. For example, if you specify at least 1 KB, the client will display any files that are more than 1 KB, but not less; if you filter for files that are at most 1 KB, the client will display any files that are up to 1 KB, but not more.

  5. To apply the filter, click Filter, or click Cancel to close the dialog box.

  6. To clear your filter and show all files, click the Filter link, then in the Filter dialog box, click Clear, then click Filter.
