When Hefty FTP starts up you are presented with the main screen.
At the top is a toolbar - moving your mouse pointer over the toolbar buttons will display the button's function in the help panel at the bottom left of the window.
On the left of the screen you are shown a listing of your local files and folders above a listing of remote files and folders when you are connected to an FTP site. You may navigate these listings using the popup menus immediately above the list boxes, or by double-clicking on listed folders or links. The local and remote folders that are currently displayed are used as the source/destination folders for any transfers.
On the right of the main screen are status displays and transfer options that you can set appropriately as you go.
At bottom right is "Load Queue" graphic - you may drop local files/folders for upload or remote files/folders for download, or even links from your browser, onto this to load them into the queue.
Once you are connected to an FTP site you may drag files/folders from the local/remote folder listing and drop them on the queue, or on the remote/local listing to load up the queue.
