Using iManager: Current Working Directory

The Current Working Directory section is comprised of a number of iManager wizards. The first part of the Current Working Directory section is a form that allows you to change your current working directory simply by modifying the path below and selecting the "Change Directory" button.

The second part of the Current Working Directory section is a list of entries in the current working directory. Each entry is listed with its size, the date it was last modified, and the mode of the file. Adjacent to the file attributes are a series of two character links. These two character links are abbreviations for the various commands that can be issued for a particular directory entry. The two character abbreviations include the following:

    [CD] -   Change directory (directory entries only)
    [ED] -   Edit file (file entries only)
    [RM] -   Remove file or directory
    [CP] -   Copy file or directory
    [MV] -   Move (or Rename) file or directory
    [LN] -   Make a link to file or directory
    [CM] -   Change the mode of a file or directory
If a particular two character abbreviation is selected, it will launch a wizard that will take you through the command process. For example, if you select a [CP] or a copy command, you will be prompted for the name of the copied filename (or directory).
