CuteFTP v4 User’s Guide Symbolic Links
This UNIX-specific option asks the server to resolve symbolic links to either a file or a directory. This option can cause problems
with non-UNIX servers. If you are having trouble displaying a list of files located on the server, try deselecting this option by going to
the Directory Navigation section of the Edit/Settings window. Select the Do not resolve links radio button.
Toggling Panes and the Tool Bar
To switch focus from the local to remote pane or vice versa, select Window/Switch Browser from the menu bar, o r pressTab.
To toggle the display of the local or remote panes, press F6 or F7 respectively, or choose Window/Toggle Local/Remote from the
        menu bar.
To toggle the display of the queue window, press F10 or select Window/Toggle Queue.
To resize panes, position the cursor over the border of two panes until the cursor becomes a bar with two arrows pointing away from
        it. Click and drag to resize the pane.
To hide the tool bar, select View/Toolbar from the menu bar. Select the same item again to re-enable the tool bar.
Long Listing and Short Listing File names are displayed in the local and remote panes of the main CuteFTP window. To change the view, select a pane and choose
either Long Listing or Short Listing from the View menu. Short listings display file name only, long listings display name, size,
time/date, attributes, and description.
Showing File Details Users can customize the level of detail displayed when using long listing mode. To customize the long listing display, select a pane
and choose File Details from the View menu. All available display options are selected by default. To remove an item from the long
listing display, deselect the corresponding box.
Sorting the File Listing In long listing mode, users can sort the listing according to contents of any listed column. Clicking a column header toggles between
ascending and descending sort order. Alternatively, by selecting Sorting from the View menu users can select the desired sort order
and type.
Printing a Directory Listing Select File®   Print  from the menu bar to print the directory listing of the currently selected pane. Refreshing the Directory Listing Although CuteFTP automatically refreshes the directory listing after certain file management operations, users may choose to do a
manual refresh for very large directory listings.   To manually refresh the selected pane, select Refresh from the View menu or press
F5. Automatic refreshing can be disabled from the Directory Navigation section of the Edit/Settings window. Deselect the Auto-
Refresh Remote Directory check box.
Automating Functions Macro Scripting Macros save time by recording keystrokes and commands for routines that you might perform frequently. The following instructions
cover recording and executing macros.
RECORDING A MACRO FOR AUTOMATED PLAYBACK: Click on Commands/Macros/Start Recording from the menu bar. Every command and keystroke will be saved from this point. Connect to your site and perform the tasks you wish to record. Click Commands/
Macro/ Stop Recording to stop recording and then save the script.
Note: Commands that can be recorded are limited to transfers (including wildcards), uploads, downloads, deletions, and
directory changes. To have the macro shut down CuteFTP after the transfer executes, edit the script file that was created
and add the word SHUTDOWN to the last line.
