Using FileGen Free is quite easy and straight-forward. It was designed with

simplicity in mind. To generate files follow these easy steps:

1. Choose an output path to generate your files. The default is C:\temp

2. Decide if you want random filenames or sequenced filenames.

2a. For random just leave the default settings

2b. For sequenced filenames, uncheck the random box and type in a file

    name in the box. A sequenced number will automatically be appended

starting at 0 and going up.

3. Select or type a file extension.

4. Choose how many files you want to generate. Careful, the larger the 

   number of files, the longer it will take to generate them.

5. Decide if you want to generate sub-directories, and if so, how many sub-

   directories deep do you want to generate files. They will be randomly

   distributed within the various sub directories.

6. Decide if you want random gibberish in your files (for filling space) or

   you want to specify your own content in each file.

    6a. If you do random, you can specify how big you want each file to be

in bytes.

7. FileGen supports variables. If you want to specify your own content and

   replace words or characters with other words, you can do so. Click on

   add and give it a name, then double click it to edit the value.

7a. If you specify a value, it will replace the variable with that

    value.

7. If you specify a filename, it will replace the variable with a

   random string from the file. The file should be formatted with each

   string of words on a separate line. An example file is included with

   this application called example.txt.

8. And finally click Generate! Your files will generate with a progressbar

   informing you of how much progress has been made. When the bar is full,

   your files are done! And that’s it.
