Sidebar

From Forklift Wiki

The Sidebar lets you quickly navigate through volumes including DEVICES attached to your computer, SHARED resources on the local network, CONNECTIONS to FTP, WebDAV or S3 servers, and of course your Favorites.

The Sidebar displays all accessible DEVICES, and SHARED resources on application start. Click any of these items to open the volume in the active pane.

Hit cmd-K or Go > Connect... to start setting up a connection to an FTP, SFTP, iDisk, WebDAV, Amazon S3 account or Bluetooth device.

Eject buttons are available for connected devices and remote connections next to their respective icons.

Using Favorites is described on a separate page.

[edit] Network Shares

This section of the sidebar lists all available shared resources on the local network, including AFP, SMB and other servers.

When clicking the sidebar icon for a network share, ForkLift will attempt to log in with a Guest account. This usually works, and will let you see the contents of the share without having to log in. If not, you can always click Connect As... in the empty bar replacing the Path Navigator on top of the pane, allowing you to enter your user for the login.

[edit] QuickList

For fans of the keyboard, we created the QuickList -a keyboard-based alternative to the sidebar
