Cannot Create Multiple Connections to the Same Server

If CuteFTP does not open new connections when you try to start new sessions, or if it does not let you browse while transferring files, you can force CuteFTP to open new connections.

To open multiple concurrent connections

  1. Select the Site in the Site Manager then do one of the following:

    • On the main menu, click File > Connect > Connect.

    • Click Connect.

    • Press CTRL+T.

  2. Repeat to create more connections to the same Site.

To configure CuteFTP to open new connections for multiple transfers

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

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

  3. Clear the Allow transfers to occur over the existing (browse) session check box.

  4. Click the Connectionnode.

  5. In the Per Site max connections/transfers box, ensure the value is greater than 1 (2-200).

  6. Click OK, then attempt to make multiple connections to the same server.

If the procedures above do not work, it is possible that your server is refusing multiple connections.
