Drag-and-Drop

Drag-and-drop operations copy selected files and folders from one folder to another using the mouse. To drag and drop items, follow these steps:

1. Click the icon of a file or folder to be copied and hold the mouse button down (normally the left button)

2. Drag the file icon to the destination folder and release the mouse button.

Files and folders can be dragged and dropped (i.e., copied) between folders within the local machine window, between a folder in a remote session window and a folder in the local window, as well as between the folders of two remote session windows. Dragging and dropping within a remote session window copies the files and/or folders. If a remote session window is either the target or source of drag-and-drop operation, then dropping the file initiates the file transfer.

Note: Using the SHIFT key in combination with drag and drop performs a move operation instead of a copy.

Note: You cannot drag and drop between different instances of SecureFX.

Tip

To select more than one file or folder to drag, hold down the COMMAND key, and click on the items you want to copy. Then drag the selected items as described above.
