Changing Directories

To change directories and navigate to your web files, double-click on the upwards arrow at the top of the Local System window to move up one directory level.

You can also change drives by double-clicking on the drive letter.

The same process is used on the Remote System window, but you won't have the option to change drives.

Note: Images are not included in HTML files, they must be transferred separately.
