Adding a site to the Site Manager

After running the Porta+ FTP Client you will see a startup dialog (Site Manager), giving you the option of managing the list of your FTP sites. If you plan to work with a large number of sites, then you can divide them into groups, making it more convenient to work with them.

Click on New and select New Group to add a group. Click on New and select New Site to add an FTP site. In the window that opens up, input the properties of your site, and (optionally) indicate which group it belongs to.

If you are using a Personal Firewall or a Proxy Server, make sure that you marked the Use Passive Mode checkbox.

If you have a slow Internet connection or are connected to the Internet from your Pocket PC via a mobile phone, increase the Timeout value.

By indicating (default) FTP Directory, you can direct the program to navigate to this directory upon connecting to the FTP server.

If you marked the Keep Connection Alive checkbox, then every 30 seconds the program will automatically send a command to the FTP server in order to prevent the connection being closed by the FTP server due to Timeout.

If you selected a Parent Group for your site, then your site is automatically placed into the chosen group.
