Using Remote Search

Use the Remote Files search to find files by file name on a remote site.

To find files on an FTP site:

1. Start the Find Utility by doing one of the following:
   • From the Tools menu, click Search > Remote File. The WS_FTP Find Utility dialog opens.
   • From the Start menu, select Programs > Progress WS_FTP > Utilities > WS_FTP Find Utility.

     

2. Use the Look in list box to select a site previously searched or click the Browse button to specify the site to which you will connect and search. You can also type in a host name or FTP URL.
3. Enter your search criteria. You can search by name, date modified, size, or any combination of the three.
4. Click Find Now. The Find Utility connects to the FTP site and searches according to your criteria.

   For example, if you search the Progress FTP site for a file named PreSalesTechReports.doc, the following results are displayed.
