CuteFTP Professional's main screen

Professional View

In Professional (default) View, the main screen is  divided into four windows: a Local Pane, Remote Pane, Individual Session Logs pane, and Queue Pane.  The Local and Remote panes represent files available on local and remote drives, much like Windows Explorer.
