Protecting your Site Manager with a password

To require a password to open the Site Manager

  3. Click OK. You will be prompted for the password every time you start CuteFTP Pro.

 

To change the Site Manager password

  1. On the menu bar, click Tools > Site Manager > Security > Change Password.

  2. Type the same password in both the Enter new password and Confirm new password fields.

  3. Click OK. You will be prompted for the password every time you start CuteFTP Pro.

Notes

CuteFTP Pro will secure the Site Manager information with 64-bit Blowfish encryption.

You should create a password at least 5 characters long for maximum security.

If you forget the password, you will not be able to use the protected Site Manager.  You will have the option to backup the locked Site Manager and re-enter your site information in a new Site Manager.

You can re-import the password-protected Site Manager file, but you will still need the password to do so.
