<h1>
Exporting files </h1>
<p class="Para">Files can be exported from the Workbench either by:</p>
<ul>
<li> Dragging and dropping to the file system (Windows and Linux GTK only), or</li>
<li> <img align="texttop" border="0" src="../images/win_only.png" alt="Windows only" />

<li> Using the
<a class="command-link" href="javascript:executeCommand(&quot;org.eclipse.ui.file.export&quot;)" shape="rect">

<b>Export wizard</b></a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Drag and drop or copy and paste</h2>
<p class="Para"> <img align="texttop" border="0" src="../images/win_only.png" alt="Windows only" />
The operating system's file system explorer can be used to export a copy of
a folder or file from the Workbench to the file system.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p class="Para"> Open the operating system's file system explorer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="Para"> Drag the file JanesFile.txt from one of the navigation view
to the file system explorer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="Para">Depending on where you are dragging to, you may need to hold
down the Ctrl or Shift key while dragging to ensure the file is copied.
Look for a small plus sign on the drag cursor to know whether the file is
being copied or moved. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="Para"> The export can also be achieved by selecting the file in
the Navigator and choosing <b>Edit &gt; Copy</b>, then</p>
<p class="Para">pasting it in the file system explorer.</p> </li>
</ol>

of resources to export.</p>
<p class="Para"><strong>Note:</strong> To export JanesINIFile.ini only, simply
select it in the navigation view and choose <b>File &gt; Export</b>. The
Export wizard will automatically ensure it is the only file selected for
export. </p>
<p class="Para"> <img src="../images/Image43_export_tree.png" alt="Export Wizard. Enter a destination directory." border="0" /></p>
</li>
<li>
