Transferring Files or Sites with the Transfer Engine

When the Transfer Engine (TE) is running, the TE icon appears in the Windows system tray. You can download files or even an entire site by right-clicking the TE icon, then clicking Download URL.

To download files from a URL with the Transfer Engine

  1. Right-click the TE icon, then click Download URL. The Download URL dialog box appears.

  2. Type the full URL, e.g., ftp://mysite.com, then click OK.

If CuteFTP is closed, the download happens in the background. If CuteFTP is open, the progress of the download appears in the Queue Window.

  • Right-click the TE icon, then click Show current transfers. (Only available if the CuteFTP interface is closed.) The Transfer Queue appears. (You can also open the Transfer Queue by double-clicking the TE icon.)

To stop a transfer

To start a transfer in the Transfer Queue

To remove items from the Transfer Queue

  • To remove one or more items, right-click the item(s) to be removed, then click Remove.
