FTP Browser (Home tab/FTP dropdown)

Use this command to open the FTP Browser. The FTP Browser consists mainly of four panes. The top left pane displays the directory tree for the local machine. The top right pane displays the directory tree on the remote system (FTP server). The panes directly below these (to the left and right) display the contents of the active/selected folder in each respective directory tree. The bottom pane displays the progress for active transfers.
