# File Browser
File Browser is an opportunity to explore the files on a compromised system. The left-hand side of the file browser is a tree which organizes the known drives and folders into one view. The right-hand side of the file browser shows the contents of the current folder.
When you launch the File Browser, **no request is made to the server**. If the path is empty, you can click the "Refresh" button , after which the contents of the working directory will be requested. Another option: specify the desired directory in the path field and click the "Go to" button .
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Unix" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
After each request, File Browser caches the contents of the requested directory. An open folder  (as opposed to a closed folder ) indicates that the folder's contents have been cached. You can navigate to cached folders without creating a new file listing request. Click "Refresh" to refresh the contents of the current folder. Double-clicking on a directory in the table or directory tree will cause the browser to navigate to that directory. To go up a level, click the folder button  next to the file path.
Along with the directory contents, its status is also cached. The "wait" status indicates that the request is currently being processed. The "Ok" status displays the date and time the response was cached. The "Error" status contains additional information about the cause of the error.
Wait
Ok
Error
To upload a file to the current directory, you can use the "Upload" button . To download a file from the host, you can use the command from the context menu.
To see which drives are available, press "Disks" button .
The file browser supports working not only with local disks, but also with network shared directories.
