<h2><a name="overview" id="overview">Overview</a></h2>
<p><strong>Lynx</strong> changes into <em>Dired mode</em> when
you use a URL of the type <em>file://localhost/path/</em>.</p>
<h2><a name="dired_bindings" id="dired_bindings">Dired Key
bindings</a></h2>
<p>While in Dired mode, some keys are remapped to do the
following functions:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
C)reate - Create a new, empty file in the current
directory. You will be prompted to enter
a name for the file.
F)ull menu - Show a full menu of commands for currently
selected file or directory.
M)odify - Modify the name or location of selection. If
multiple files have been selected, you will
only be able to change the location. Choose
between changing the name or location and then
enter a new filename or path.
R)emove - Delete currently selected files.
T)ag - Tag the highlighted file. Multiple files may
be tagged and all other commands except "Create"
will be performed on tagged files instead of the
one highlighted. Press “<em>t</em>” again to untag
a file.
U)pload - Upload a file to the current directory using
one of the options listed in the upload screen.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2><a name="other_bindings" id="other_bindings">Other Key
bindings</a></h2>
<p>Some other keys useful in <em>Dired mode</em>:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
D)ownload - Download selection using options listed in
the download options screen.
E)dit - Spawn the editor defined in the <a href=
"option_help.html">Options Menu</a>
and load selection for editing.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2><a name="notes" id="notes">Notes</a></h2>
<p><em>Dired mode</em> must be activated at compile time.
Otherwise, the above commands will not be available and
<strong>Lynx</strong> will treat a directory listing as an HTML
file.</p>
