Main window of AxY FTP consists of the button bar on the bottom,scrollable status area, transfer type selector,download/upload arrow buttons in the middle, and two system panels - for local and remote host.
Button bar on the bottom of the main window contains the following action buttons:
You may click on "connect" button to make session window to be displayed. While connected to some remote host, the same button displays "disconnect" instead. Clicking on it will make the program to attempt to close existing connection. In some cases the time to perform disconnect may be as long as 15 seconds. Please be patient, don't rush to "cancel" button.
You may use this button to cancel some long operation.
The typical example would be to cancel the downloading of some unusually
large directory listing.
Clicking on this button will make the full log of the current session
to be displayed in the internal AxY FTP viewer window.
You login data (password) will not be displayed.
Invokes AxY FTP Help System.
Click on "options" button to make Options Window
appear.
Displays short information on the version and copyright of the software.
Shuts the program down.
Selector consists of three radio buttons labelled "ASCII","Binary", and
"Auto". Default position is "Binary". If the remote host you are transferring
files to/from is also a UNIX-like system, use "Binary" mode even for text files,
it just be a little faster to transfer. "Auto" mode is currently equivalent to
"Binary", it will try to guess the correct mode by file extension in
future releases.
When connected to some remote host, select several remote or local entries
and click on "->" ("<-") button to perform upload (download).
Both multiple recursive downloads and uploads are implemented.
Progress window will appear displaying the file name being transfered,
the size of the file in bytes, percentage transfered, bytes transfered,
transfer rate (in kbytes/sec), elapsed time of the transfer and estimated
time to complete the transfer. You may use "Cancel" button of the progress
window to interrupt the file transfer.
Progress bar will appear for large files only or will not appear at all if
you specified an appropriate option.
When file about to get transfered already exists on the other side, a dialog
appears asking for the action to perform. You may chose Overwrite to
start transfer anew, Resume to continue interrupted download, or
Skip to leave the file alone.

Warning: cancel operations are still very buggy, do not use them unless
absolutely necessary
