| As you saw in the previous chapter, File
Manager can perform many basic file and directory navigation
functions. File Manager can also perform more advanced functions such
as copying and moving files and directories. You can access File
Manager by right clicking the desktop to bring up your workspace menu.
Click the File menu and then the File Manager utility.
Moving Files
Moving files can be accomplished using the Select + Drag + Drop
technique. To move a file from one folder to another, position the
mouse pointer over the file icon, hold down the left mouse button and
drag the icon to the appropriate folder icon.
Once the file icon is positioned over
the folder icon, release the mouse button and the file will be moved
to that folder.
Copying Files
Copying files can be accomplished using the Control + Select + Drag
+ Drop technique. If you press the Control key before the file
icon has been selected and keep it held down while the drag-and-drop
process takes place, the file will be copied rather than just moved to
the other folder.
Note: You cannot move or copy
file icons to the path icon display in the top part of the File
Manager window display.
If you want to move or copy files to
the parent directory of the current folder, you can drag and drop the
file icon to the (go up) icon.
