Renaming a file as you transfer it
You can get a prompt that allows you to enter a path and name for each file you transfer to/from the site. You can also rename just one file as you transfer it as follows:
- Select the file.
- Press and hold the Ctrl key.
- Click the Upload or Download arrow. You are prompted for a file name and location.
- Specify the location (path) and enter a new file name.
- Click OK.
If the name is not accepted, you may be trying to use a long name on an FTP site that does not allow long names. Try a name of eight characters or less.
