Connecting to the FTP Server

To create connection between your PC and a remote computer, carry out the following on the Login as tab:

1) Select a FTP server (HostID) in the list box of hosts (defined in your hosts file). Alternatively, you can enter the host address for the server (can be either the DNS entry or its IP address) in the HostID edit field.

2) In the UserName edit field, enter your login name that is required by the selected server to access your FTP account.

If you do not have an account with the selected server, and it accepts anonymous FTP requests, enable the Anonymous option (explained below).

3) In the Password edit field, enter the password that is required by the server to access your FTP account. The characters of the password will appear as asterisk (*) symbols for security purposes unless you chose the anonymous login option.

4) Specify your Account (if required).

If the Account field is specified, the account command will be relayed to the remote server after the login sequence is completed if the remote server did not require it for logging in.

5) In the Initial Directory field, enter the path on the server in which you want to begin. If this field does not contain a value, the root directory will be the default listing.

6) Select the operating system type of the remote computer from within the Server Type list box. The UNIX system type is used by default. (Currently supported types are: UNIX, DOS, VMS, MVS, OS/2, SI NT FTPD, IBM VM, AS/400).

7) Click the Connect button to establish the connection.

Alternatively, you can select a proper connection profile name and press the Connect button (see the Profile section below).
