Images, text files, movies, mp3s and just about any kind of file can be viewed within Yummy FTP‘s Preview drawer which can be displayed by selecting the Show Preview Drawer option in the View menu or by pressing the Right-Arrow button in the top right of the FTP Browser window:

When the Preview drawer is opened the button changes to a Left-Arrow and pressing it will close the Preview drawer again. Similarly, the menu option will change to Hide Preview Drawer. The drawer will show information about the selected item, if any, or the current directory.

Pressing the i button will display the Info window for the selected item, where access permissions and ownership can be changed. Pressing the Magnifier button will cause the selected file to be previewed within the drawer

Pressing the Cancel button will cancel the displayed preview and revert to the information display shown previously.

If the Auto checkbox is enabled, Yummy FTP will automatically display a preview of each file as it is selected in the list. When Auto-preview mode is enabled, there will be a Refresh button in place of the cancel button and pressing this button will cause the displayed preview to be refreshed, fetching new data from the server if necessary. Un-checking the Auto checkbox again will revert to normal behavior.

When an image preview is displayed, such as a .jpg or .pdf file, clicking on the preview image itself will display a full screen preview so that the image can be seen without scaling. To dismiss the full screen preview simply click the mouse.

When a preview of any kind is being displayed, clicking the i button will display extra information about the selected file. For example the dimensions of a graphic image, or the duration of an MP3 file would be displayed.
