Download the selected entries. If an entry is a directory, NetTransport will get all the files in this directory including its subdirectory. Double-clicking entries in the file list pane also gets the same result.

Stop

Cancel browsing.

Refresh

Refresh current directory and display files in that directory again.

Favorite

Show or hide the favorite of Site Explorer.

Quick connect bar

Just type a URL into the address bar and press ENTER or click to start browsing. NetTransport can parse URL automatically, but if failed, you can modify "Username", "Password" and "Port" by hand. If there is no protocol header in the URL, NetTransport will regard it as FTP type. To clear the stored list use "Options > System > Clear History" button. Click to add the URL to your favorite, so you can easily access it in the future.

Protocol type

Now FTP/FTPS/SFTP/HTTP/HTTPS site can be browsed. Note, you can also create a MMS/RTSP site, but you can't list it.

Port

NetTransport chooses the appropriate default port for the protocol you choose. You can change this number if the default is not correct for the site.

Remote folder

NetTransport will open this folder at once after connecting to the site.

Comment

Brief notes about the site.

Number of concurrent connections

If you establish too many concurrent connections to the same site, transfer speed may significantly decrease. In addition, the site administrator may dislike it, which results in blocking your IP. Tasks will be in the state of waiting when the connections reach the limit. When one file is completed, the connection won't be closed, next file will reuse it without login again. To break the restriction of IP, please set proxy mode to "Multiple proxies" and choose respective proxy for every thread. You can refer to "Task > Download" and "Task > Proxy".

Connect

Keep Alive

Explorer sends commands at fixed intervals to the FTP server to maintain an active connection.

Command

You'd better use "LIST" command, which is the first choice and can refresh current folder.

LIST Argument

Recommend try "-laT", because it can return more accurate date information, but not all FTP servers support this parameter.

  Delete
 

Delete current folder or site and all its subdirectory including sites. But the top "favorite" can only be renamed not be deleted.

  Rename
 

Rename current folder or site.

  Exports Sites as URL
 

To generate a list of sites as Web addresses.

  Connect
 

Connect to site, double-clicking also does this thing.

Explorer Pane

Click the column header (title) to resort files.

  Copy URL to Clipboard
 

Copy the directory URL or file URLs to clipboard.

  Disconnect
 

Close connection of the current site. Use this feature when site only allows one thread one IP but you want to download files in this site.

  Delete the site
 

Delete current entry and all its sub-entry if any. Use this feature if there are too much sites in the left directory pane. Notes, this option only deletes tree in the directory pane you see. NetTransport guarantees the directory on the remote site won't be modified. In other words, "Site Explorer" is read only.
