Select "Login As..." and you will get the following login screen:

Now that we are logged in we can start to copy files in here. You can copy one file at a time, or multiple files at once by selecting a folder, or a large group of files and copying and pasting like you normally would in explorer.

Copy

After you copy a file, you can paste it by right clicking on the FTP folder, then left clicking to select "Paste"
