4. SiteManager
The SiteManager stores information about FTP accounts. So you don't have to enter the same information again and again.
When you use the SiteManager the first time, you may directly enter a new account. Fill out the fields with the following information (you may have to ask your website administrator for the details, if you don't know or are not sure about them).
- Name - enter a name for an account here (e.g. "My FTP account")
- Host - enter your FTP server name or its IP address here
- User - enter the user name of your account (mark the anonymous box if you want to login as a guest user)
- Password - enter the password of your account (mark "Save Password"
if you want FTPEditor to save your password)
ATTENTION: Saving the password on your PC, is not completely save. - Remote dir - enter the directory on your FTP server you would like to start in after connect (e.g. "/wwwroot")
- Local dir - enter the directory on your PC you would like to start in after connect (e.g. "c:\temp\")
- Create local backup (Pro version only) - when marked, this will create backups of all the edited files to the folder set in local dir.
Creating a new account:
The "New"-button will empty all fields and let you enter another account. Be sure
to save an account (pressing the "Save"-button) before you create a new one.
Editing an account:
Select the account you want to edit from the account list. The fields are filled
with the values of this account and you may edit them. But sure to save them
when you are finished.
Deleting an account:
If want to delete an account, select it from the account list and press the
"Delete"-button.
Connecting to an account:
Select the account you want to connect to from the account list. Then press
the "Connect"-button. The SiteManager will close and FTPEditor connects
to the selected account.
TIP !!! Once you are connected to an account successfully this account will be put in the FTP server history of FTPEditor. Use this shortcut to connect to your account without even using the SiteManager.
