The home screen of FX displays the top-level file, media, and network "catalogs" available on your device.
Tap on a catalog to open it.
The File Catalogs let you browse and manage various filesystems attached to your Android device. These catalogs
are included in all versions of FX:
- Media Card: The media card is a phone/device's main storage area for your personal files and media.
- Phone Storage: Some devices feature two locations where your personal files and media may be stored, one
being an internal memory and the other being a removable media card. On such devices, the internal memory will
appear as "Phone Storage" and the removable media will appear as "Media Card".
- System: The "system" catalog is the internal file system of your Android device. The "System" catalog is
mostly read-only.
The Media Catalogs are indexes of various media files (photos, music, and videos) stored on your media card or
your phone's internal storage. When media files are copied onto your device, they will automatically be added to these
media catalogs by Android itself. Accessing these catalogs through FX is supported only in the full version.
- Images: The image catalog indexes all photos and images on your device. It additionally contains a special folder for
images taken with the device's camera.
- Videos: The video catalog indexes all videos on your device. It additionally contains a special folder for
videos taken with the device's camera.
- Music / Audio: The music catalog allows you to browse your audio files organized by Artist, Album, Track, and/or
Playlist. Playlists can be created, updated, and deleted by using the music catalog.
The Network Catalogs enable you to access remote devices or file servers. The full version of FX is required
to access these catalogs.
- Bluetooth: Open the Bluetooth catalog to see what devices are currently paired with your device and to pair new
devices. Tapping on an individual device within the Bluetooth catalog will provide the option to connect to it using
Bluetooth FTP. See the Bluetooth section for more information.
- Windows Network: The Windows Network catalog enables you to transfer files to and from computers sharing files using
Windows networking (also known as SMB).
- FTP Sites: The FTP catalog allows you to access FTP servers.
- SSH FTP Servers: The SSH FTP catalog is used to access files on servers through the SSH protocol. Linux and
Mac computers natively support this protocol, but it can be much slower due to the heavy-duty security.
