File Information

In the upper part of the dialog you can see information about the selected file(s). The counter will initially not include files and directories in subdirectories. Press Calculate button to count even these.

The Size field will state “Unknown”, if the selection contains at least one directory. Press Calculate button next to it to calculate the total size of all files in the selected directories (symlinks are not followed).

When properties are shown for single symbolic link (symlink), link target will be shown in additional Links to field. If you need to know link target frequently, you may want to display optional Link target column in file panel.

Ownership

The Group and Owner boxes can be used to change ownership of the selected files. Initially the boxes will show current ownership as long as all selected files has the same owner/group. Otherwise the boxes will be empty. Leave them empty not to change the ownership, when you are changing other properties (like permissions).

The boxes are disabled if current protocol does not allow changing ownership. You can overcome this limitation by defining appropriate custom command.

Permissions

The permissions box can be used to change permissions of selected files.

The box is disabled if current protocol does not allow changing permissions.

You can also set permissions for newly uploaded files directly in transfer settings.
