Description 

The XDIR program uses the familiar folder-icon metaphor to simultaneously display windows representing several hosts, which can be any combination of local and remote machines. Users initiate FTP transfers simply by dragging files on the screen and dropping them onto the appropriate window. Each XDIR window has a complete set of controls for setting modes and invoking operations, such as viewing graphics or text files, or launching applications on local or remote hosts.
