Searching for local files

Using the Search Utility (local search): You can use Search Utility to search local files that you want to transfer from your computer to an FTP server. If you have the Copernic™ or Google™ Desktop Search utility installed, you can search for file content using their integrated search engine from the Progress WS_FTP client. For more information about selecting the search utility, see the Program Options: General topic.
