6. Click on a selected folder to view the files included in the folder.
   The individual files can also be selected/unselected to download from the remote server. By default, all files within a folder are selected.
   On this page you can also:

• Filter Types - Opens the Inclusion and Exclusion Patterns dialog. For more information see Working with Inclusion and Exclusion Patterns.
