Site Properties - General Tab

On the General tab of the Site Properties, you can modify the name (Label) by which the Site is displayed in the Site Manager, the host address, username, password, and login method. You can also type comments that are saved with the Site settings.

Label - Provide a descriptive name for the Site, as it will appear in the Site Manager.

Host address - Provide the address to which you will connect for this Site. The address can be a domain name, such as ftp.example.com, or an IP address, such as 192.168.125.210.
