Step 7: Transfer one or more files
Now locate and select the file(s) you would like to transfer. Use the "Local Browser 1" childwindow next to the bottom of SmartFTP. It works quite like Windows Explorer so it should be easy to browse to your file(s) directory.

Your file(s) are now uploading. You can monitor the progress in the statusbar of the XARC Mastering connection window.

After your transfer is done, you are finished. You can then close your internet connection.

 

1 Drag and Drop: Hold down the left mouse-button on the selected file(s), move the mouse while still pressing the button and release over your target. Your target is in this case the FTP-window (back).
