FTP Explorer

To open FTP Explorer choose the FTP Explorer item from the Tools menu or press F7.

What FTP Explorer is?
FTP Explorer is intended for navigating through FTP-servers and for searching for files you need to download. Navigation with FTP Explorer is much like that with Windows Explorer.

Site addition
Enter a site address in the URL entry field and press the "Open" button. You can open several sites at a time. Once you entered site parameters (login, password), you can save them in the site manager ("Use for whole server" option) and they will be inserted in input fields automatically in future.
( i ) Entered addresses are automatically saved in URL history. To clear URL history use Tools->Clear URL history.

Site navigation
Navigation with FTP Explorer is much like that with Windows Explorer. The icons stand for the following:
site;
a site, with an error occurred while attempting to connect;
a folder, which contents has not been received yet;
a folder, which contents is being received at the moment;
a folder, which contents has been received;
a folder, with an error occurred while receiving folder contents.

File/folder selection and download start
To download files/folders you can:

  • double-click the file you want to download;
  • select files/folders in the list and press the "Download..." button or choose similar item in the context menu;
  • drag the selected files onto the IDA floating window.

Filter
With filter you can set up display of files of certain types. This option is useful if you are only interested in files of particular types, for example *.exe and *.zip.

FTP Explorer setup
You can specify maximum allowable number of errors, as well as whether to clear or not the site list after quitting FTP Explorer.

Favorites
In Favorites you can store the list of the most frequently visited sites so that you won't have to enter addresses manually.
