Using Quick Connect

You can make speedy connections to FTP sites without entering information into the Site Manager by using CuteFTP Pro’s Quick Connect toolbar.

 

To connect using the Quick Connect toolbar

  1. Open CuteFTP Pro.  By default the Quick Connect Bar displays under the menu bar, and the main toolbar.

  2. Type in the FTP host address in Host.

  3. Type in your user name in the Username box.

  4. Type in your password in the Password box.

  5. Make sure the correct port is listed in the Port box (21 is the default FTP port).

  6. Click the Connect button, at the end of the Port box.

To display the Quick Connect toolbar

The Quick Connect bar is displayed by default at the top of the CuteFTP Pro interface under the main toolbar. It can be moved or undocked by clicking and dragging on the vertical bar at the left-hand edge of the bar.

  • On the menu bar, click View > Toolbars > Quick Connect Bar.
