To replace your Site Manager listings with an imported list

  1. On the menu bar, click Tools > Site Manager > Import FTP Sites.

  2. Select your old FTP client from the Import from list.

  3. Type the path or browse to your old client site list.

  4. Type a path or browse to a folder where you will save the new Site Manager list.

Warning: Do not save the new database in the CuteFTP Pro program folder or the CuteFTP Pro Application Data folder until step 10.

  1. Select Create a new Site Manager with these entries.

  2. Click Start Conversion.

  3. Exit CuteFTP Pro and open Windows Explorer.

  4. Navigate to your user profile folder. Example: Winnt\profiles\jsmith\Application Data\Globalscape\CuteFTP Pro.

  5. Give your current Site Manager file (sm.dat) another name, like sm.bak or sm.old.

  6. Move the database you created in step five to the CuteFTP Pro directory and rename it sm.dat.

  7. Restart CuteFTP Pro and begin using your new Site Manager database.

Warning: Do not manually overwrite CuteFTP Pro’s sm.dat file while CuteFTP Pro is running. CuteFTP Pro automatically saves the sm.dat file upon exit. This means that if you replace the sm.dat file while running, CuteFTP Pro will replace it again when you exit, resulting in the loss of your replacement file.

  

To export your Site Manager listings

You can also export your Site Manager listings as a text file in two different formats. You may export the listings as URLs only, or as a more detailed listing of hostnames, directories and descriptions.  

Warning: Passwords will also be exported and will be plainly visible!   

  1. On the menu bar, click Tools > Site Manager > Export Sites as URL, to generate a list of sites as Web addresses.

OR

  1. Enter a name and choose a location for your exported listings in the Save As dialog box that appears.

  2. Click Save.
