The file list is the list of file and directory names on the left side of the Fetch window. It works much like the file list in the standard Macintosh ﾒOpenﾓ dialog box. Clicking on a name selects it, and many operations (Get file, Delete file or directory, Rename host file, etc.) operate on the selected name. Holding down the Command key allows you to select multiple individual filenames, and holding down the Shift key while clicking selects a range of filenames. You can also select a filename by typing the first few letters of its name or using the up and down arrow keys to step through the list. Double clicking on a name prompts Fetch to change directory to the selected name. If the name refers to a file the change directory command should fail, and Fetch will then download the file. Typing Return or Enter is equivalent to double-clicking.
Fetch displays a small icon next to each name. Files and directories are designated with the standard file and folder icons. If Fetch can not determine whether the name refers to a file or folder an icon showing both is displayed. If the name refers to a Unix symbolic link (an alias for a file or directory in a different place) it is displayed in italics (just as the Finder displays the names of System 7.0 aliases on the Macintosh).
You may choose to have Fetch display the size and date-modified for each file. This has the side effect of displaying names in a smaller font (to make room for the additional information). If a file name can not be displayed in full selecting it will display as much of the name as possible (rather than displaying the size and date).
Note for experienced users: Pressing down arrow while holding down the Command key makes the selected directory name the current directory; pressing Cmd-up arrow moves to the parent directory. Users with Apple Extended Keyboards can use the home, end, page up, and page down keys to scroll the file list.
