* The class <code>FileTransfer</code> provides a platform specific mechanism

* platform specific representation of the data and vice versa.
* Each <code>String</code> in the array contains the absolute path for a single
* file or directory.
*
* <p>An example of a java <code>String[]</code> containing a list of files is shown
* below:</p>
*
* <code><pre>
* File file1 = new File("C:\temp\file1");
* File file2 = new File("C:\temp\file2");
* String[] fileData = new String[2];
* fileData[0] = file1.getAbsolutePath();
* fileData[1] = file2.getAbsolutePath();
* </code></pre>
