[JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla
Hi all, I am genuinely confused by something that's happening with FileZilla. I've used it successfully in the past to transfer a number of files to and from an ftp site, but today something odd is happening. IN my experience the only way to upload a file is to arrow to the file name, route the Jaws cursor to the PC one, then right click using jaws keystrokes and select the appropriate option. This worked fine just a few weeks ago, but today I find nothing happens when I go through this sequence of keystrokes. Jaws simply says right click but doesn't seem to execute the command. I'd welcome any suggestions for a workaround. For what it's worth, I'm running jaws 12 on windows XP. Many thanks, Michelle For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

This may (or may not) have something to do with it. press CTRL+INSERT+JAWS keys, until JAWS says, the JAWS cursor will not follow the PC cursor. - Original Message - From: Michelle McQuigge michelle.mcqui...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 5:18 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla Hi all, I am genuinely confused by something that's happening with FileZilla.

Flore, This is curious. When I do this, it acts like I'm not pressing the insert key at all. It simply reads control p or control leftbracket (Please note that I'm using a laptop rather than a desktop). -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: January 14, 2012 1:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla This may (or may not) have something to do with it. press CTRL+INSERT+JAWS keys, until JAWS says, the JAWS cursor will not follow the PC cursor. - Original Message - From: Michelle McQuigge michelle.mcqui...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 5:18 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla Hi all, I am genuinely confused by something that's happening with FileZilla.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla
Use the CAPSLOCK key which can function as the JAWS key. My idea was that if the JAWS cursor had become linked or 'tethered' to the PC cursor, that they be untethered. The PC cursor won't always operate correctly if the JAWS cursor is tethered to it. This causes awkward navigation problems. - Original Message - From: Michelle McQuigge michelle.mcqui...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 6:21 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla Flore, This is curious.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla
No, you're following them ok. And I also find that the control + capslock + leftbracket 'equivalent' won't work, in a laptop configuration, to do the functionality using the jaws desktop layout.

I'm using jaws 12, windows xp. Can you think of a reason why executing that command would fail to recognize the jaws key at all?

How exactly I survived more than a decade of Jaws use without knowing that shift-f10 could pull up the context menu I truly don't know, but funnily enough, as soon as Flore imparted this timeless wisdom, my problem was solved. :) Thank you so much for your help with this - I'm now busily catching up on all the time I lost fumbling in ignorance! :) All the best and thanks again, Michelle -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: January 14, 2012 3:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla Getting down to the obvious...

I've used it successfully in the past to transfer a number of files to and from an ftp site, but today something odd is happening. IN my experience the only way to upload a file is to arrow to the file name, route the Jaws cursor to the PC one, then right click using jaws keystrokes and select the appropriate option. This worked fine just a few weeks ago, but today I find nothing happens when I go through this sequence of keystrokes. Jaws simply says right click but doesn't seem to execute the command. I'd welcome any suggestions for a workaround. For what it's worth, I'm running jaws 12 on windows XP.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla
Michelle, Don't feel too bad! there was a time when - due to a peculiarity in JAWS - JAWS right-mouse click and shift+F10 didn't work the same way, as they should have; you had to either use the JAWS right-mouse click menu or route JAWS to PC as you were doing, then right-mouse-click, to bring up the focused item's correct right-click menu options. But it's been fixed for a few years now. - Original Message - From: Michelle McQuigge michelle.mcqui...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 9:38 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla How exactly I survived more than a decade of Jaws use without knowing that shift-f10 could pull up the context menu I truly don't know, but funnily enough, as soon as Flore imparted this timeless wisdom, my problem was solved. :) Thank you so much for your help with this - I'm now busily catching up on all the time I lost fumbling in ignorance! :) All the best and thanks again, Michelle -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: January 14, 2012 3:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla Getting down to the obvious... Are you sure the window you're working with is maximized? Sometimes, that's worth a double check! At the point where you route JAWS to PC, instead, press shift+f10 to get into the context menu and go that way. - Original Message - From: Michelle McQuigge michelle.mcqui...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 7:47 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stymied by Filezilla I'm using jaws 12, windows xp. Can you think of a reason why executing that command would fail to recognize the jaws key at all? To add another wrinkle, I find the process works fine when trying to download a file from the remote site, but not when trying to upload one. This is peculiar and didn't used to happen.
