Copying Files 

The Copy option allows one or more files to be copied from the current folder to another. Copies of the file will thus exist in two folders.

  5. Click Continue to return to the Manage Files screen.

 

Moving Files 

The Move option allows one or more files to be moved from the current folder to another folder. When a file is moved, it will no longer exist in the original folder. If you want to leave a copy of the file in its original folder, use the Copy feature.

  1. Select the checkbox(es) next to the file(s) you want to move. Files are listed under the Folders and Files heading in the bottom half of the Manage Files screen.
  2. Select Move in the list box next to the Folder Options header.
  3. Click Go. The Move Files screen appears.
  4. The file(s) that you selected appear on the left side of the screen. If you decide not to move a file, clear its checkbox. Select a destination folder from the list box on the right and then click Move. A confirmation screen appears.
