Dialog box: Connect to FTP server
 
With this dialog box you can open a connection to an FTP server. Choose a saved connection from the list, or create a new connection. The cursor is placed on the last used connection.
 
Connect to: Contains a list of all connections saved earlier. Total Commander shows a different icon for normal ftp connections (a sheet of paper with a globe), and secure ftp connections (a sheet with a small lock in the middle). Connections where the password is protected with a master password are shown with a small additional lock in the upper left corner.
 
Connect Opens the connection.
 
New connection Opens a dialog box which allows you to define a new connection. The connections will be saved in alphabetical order.
 
New URL In this dialog box you can enter either a server name, like ftp.microsoft.com, or a URL, e.g. ftp://user@ftp.microsoft.com/windows/
 
Duplicate entry Creates a new connection entry, which contains the same settings as the entry under the cursor.
 
New folder Creates a new folder into which you can move connections via drag&drop.
 
Edit Opens a dialog box with the data of the connection under the cursor.
 
Delete Deletes the connection under the cursor. The change will be saved immediately.
 
Encrypt Allows you to protect the passwords of all or just the selected connections with a master password, or change an existing master password. Connections where the password is encrypted are shown with a special icon (lock in the lower right corner). An entered master password is remembered until the user minimizes Total Commander, or the screen saver starts.
We recommend that you use a master password to protect your connections. If you don't use it, a virus or worm may read out your password and modify your Web site!
 
Cancel Closes the dialog box without opening a connection.
