Adding a Site to the Site Manager without the Connection Wizard

You can save connection settings for sites that you use often by adding them to the Site Manager.

To add a site to the Site Manager without the Connection Wizard

  1. Do one of the following:

    The Site Properties for dialog box appears.

  2. Click New, then click the type of site to define.

  3. On the Type tab, specify the protocol for the site.

  4. On the General tab, in the Label box, type a descriptive name for the site.

  5. In the Host address box, type the address for the site. The address can be a domain address, such as ftp.globalscape.com, or an IP address, such as 192.168.20.52. Ask your hosting provider for the address.

    If you do not provide the correct address, then every time you try to connect to that site an error message like the one below appears.
