Can I schedule file downloads for a later time?

Absolutely! That is one of the nice features of eFTP Explorer. You can visit several FTP sites, identifying files that you wish to download. Then, you can tell eFTP to download all of those files at a time that is convenient to you. Here's how to schedule the download queue to start at a later time:

• From the eFTP menu, choose View/Stop Queue.
• Go to your first FTP site and select a file to be downloaded.
• Since the queue is stopped, the following dialog will appear:

• Click Later and enter the new start time for the download queue.
• Click OK to set the schedule

Note that each time you add a file to the queue, this same dialog box will appear. Simply click OK to maintain the schedule. You can also choose to change it by starting the queue immediately (Now) or cancelling the schedule and leaving the queue stopped (Don't start it now or later).

Another great eFTP feature: If you want to download a file immediately without disturbing your queue, you can use Download Special. Simply highlight the file to be downloaded, then choose File/Download Special.
