Copy the URL to the clipboard.
Return to CuteFTP Pro and select File > Connection > Connect to URL from the Menu Bar.
CuteFTP Pro will parse the URL and connect to the site or start downloading the file (if specified).

"ftp://host/dir.ext/" This URL is considered a folder. CuteFTP Pro will connect to it.
"host/.ext/" This is considered a folder. CuteFTP Pro will connect to it.
"host/dir/" This is considered a folder. CuteFTP Pro will connect to it.
"host/dir" This is considered a folder. CuteFTP Pro will connect to it.
"host/dir.ext" This is considered a file. CuteFTP Pro will download it.
"host/.ext" This is considered a file. CuteFTP Pro will download it.

The Connect to URL feature is also supported by the Transfer Engine, and is called Download URL. Whether the URL specifies a path to a folder or file, the TE will try to download it.
Right-click the Transfer Engine icon
in the system tray.Choose Download URL.
Type or paste the URL in the Download URL box.
