1. Click the site in the Site Manager , then do one of the following:

   • On the main menu, click File > Properties .

   • Right-click the site, then click Properties .

   • Press ALT+ENTER.

2. Click the Type tab.

3. In the Protocol list, click  FTP with TLS/SSL (Port 990 - Implicit), FTP with TLS/SSL (AUTH SSL - Explicit), or FTP with TLS/SSL (AUTH TLS - Explicit).

4. Click the Clear Data channel check box.

5. Click Connect to connect now or OK to connect later.
