Opening Files

Use the file display pane in the NetFile main window to open and view files.

To Open Files

  1. Select the directory that contains the file you want to view. All the files in the directory that you selected are displayed in the file display pane.
  2. Select the required file in the file display pane.
  3. Click Open.

  4. Note

    Alternatively, you can double-click the selected file to open it.


    Your browser tries to open and display the file contents.

    • If the file is a text file or some other type that the browser can handle (for example, .html, .gif) then the browser will display the contents directly.
    • If the file is a type that has an application associated with it (for example, .doc file) then the browser will start that application and open the file.
    • If the browser does not recognize the file type, the Save to Disk dialog is displayed. Save the file to your disk and use the appropriate application to open the file.
    • The browser window used for the Save As dialog does not close automatically after the file has been saved. Close the browser window manually.


      Note

      If you use Internet Explorer and cannot view or download files, check your browser settings. Choose Internet Options from the View menu. Click the Advanced tab and choose Security. Deselect the "Do not save unencrypted pages to disk" option. Click OK to save the change and close the dialog.
