Advanced Folder/Directory Navigation:
You may wish to navigate through folders, even creating new ones, on your “Remote” side (your RCI space). For example, if you have class “one” and class “two,” you can create individual folder for each class (helping to organize the material between them).

To create a new directory, click the “New Folder” button, as identified below. You can create new directories either on your local or remote side; both have their own individual “New Folder” buttons. For now, we’ll be creating a new folder on the “Remote” side.

A new folder will appear, prompting you to give it a name. Enter any name you wish, and hit “Enter” on the keyboard.

Remember that Secure File Transfer will default new directories to permissions of 644; if you wish to have this folder available on the web, you will need to change its permissions to 755. Refer to the earlier section on “Permissions” if you need more information.

You can double-click this new folder to “go inside” of it. It will be empty until you upload any files to it. If you wish to “go backwards” in the hierarchy of folders on your server, click the “Up” button.
