Now that you have connected to your game server's FTP, you can now now upload & download files to and from your server using the left & right side interfaces.

For example, you would locate a file you want to upload via the left hand side tree navigation, e.g: C:\Games\ARK\test.txt. You would then click and drag that file over to right hand side and release the click (This called Drag & Drop).
