Configuring an FTP Target site

Prerequisite: the configuration dialog for an FTP Target site should be displayed and you should have an account on an FTP server you wish to use.

To configure a new FTP Target site:

  1. In the URL field, type the base URL for the location you want to access, for instance ftp://ftp.somerandomserver.net/
  2. In the User field, type in the username you use to connect to the server.
  3. In the Password field, type in the password for this user.
  4. You can usually accept the default value for Connection Timeout, although a higher value may be required for an extremely slow or heavily loaded server.
  5. It is usually safe to leave the Use Passive Mode checkbox enabled as well.
  6. Hitting Finish will create a new FTP Target site with the information you have just provided.
