Starting the Transfer Engine on Windows Startup

By default, the Transfer Engine starts when Windows starts up. You can change this setting in the Global Options dialog box. You can also configure whether the Transfer Engine remains running or closes when Windows closes.

To display the General settings

1. On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).

2. Expand the General node. The General options appear.

3. To start the Transfer Engine automatically when your computer boots up, select the Start the Transfer Engine on Windows startup check box. When not selected, the Transfer Engine does not start until you start CuteFTP or call it from a script.

4. In the On startup box, specify one of the following actions:

   • Display Site Manager - Displays the Site Manager on program start

   • Do Nothing - Prevents the Site Manager from displaying on program start

   • Connect to the last connected to Site Manager site - Connects to the site you were connected to the last time you closed the program, so long as the site is saved in the Site Manager.

5. In the On exit box, specify one of the following actions:

   • Don't close the Transfer Engine if tasks are pending - Completes unfinished or scheduled transfers after CuteFTP is closed. The Transfer Engine automatically shuts down after the last scheduled transfer.

   • Don't close the Transfer Engine - Leaves the Transfer Engine running even when CuteFTP is closed and there are no transfers to complete. The Transfer Engine stays open until the computer is shut down or you close the Transfer Engine from the System Tray.

   • Close the Transfer Engine - Shuts down the Transfer Engine whenever you close CuteFTP.

6. Click Apply if you are going to make changes to other pages; click OK to save changes and close the Global Options dialog box.
