Notes

The CuteFTP Pro Transfer Engine will complete scheduled transfers if you have disconnected.  It will keep running and complete transfers even If you exit CuteFTP Pro before a transfer is scheduled to start.  

If you manually close the Transfer Engine or shut down the computer before a scheduled transfer can start, you will be asked if you still want to complete the scheduled transfer the next time you open CuteFTP Pro.

If you leave CuteFTP Pro or the Transfer Engine open to accomplish a number of tasks, you should set CuteFTP Pro to delete successfully finished items from the queue.
