> - Remote Host Operations
> - Local Host Operations

> ## The NetFile Window

> The main NetFile window includes two panes.

> 1. The left pane contains the NetFile tree and is divided into two parts:
> - Network Neighborhood - displays remote systems you currently have access to.

> If your system administrator has set up a list of systems for you, these are displayed in the Network Neighborhood. If not, you can only see the Network Neighborhood icon, and you need to manually add systems as required.

> - Local Host - displays a list of root drives on your machine. For Unix, “/” is the share node and for Windows it is drives such as “C:” and “D:”. When you click on the drive, NetFile displays your current directories under that drive or directory.
> 2. The pane on the right displays the files on a selected system and directory.

> ## NetFile Options

> ## Using the Drag and Drop Feature

> You can use the drag and drop feature for the following operations:

> - To download file(s) from the remote host to the local host.
> - To upload file(s) from the local host to the remote host.
> - To a download folder from the remote host to the local host.

> Using the drag and drop feature reduces the number of interactions for the above operations. However, please note the following:

> - You can copy files and folders but you cannot move or link them.
> - You must use the left mouse button to drag and drop.
> - Operations are applicable only on the share and folder nodes of the NetFile tree.
> - Drag and drop operation must occur within the context of Netfile. For example you cannot copy a file to your desktop, but you can copy a file to another directory within the NetFile tree.

> ## Remote Host Operations

> You can perform the following operations on the remote host:

> - System Operations
> - Folder Operations
> - File Operations

> ## Local Host Operations

> You can perform the following operations on the local host:

> - System Operations:
> - Add Share
> - Refresh
> - Folder Operations:
> - Add Folders
> - Delete Folder
> - Search
> - Refresh
> - File Operations
> - Open
