Dialog box: New Connection (FTP)

 

With this dialog box you can open a new connection to an FTP server. Choose a saved connection from the drop down combo box, or create a new connection by typing a host name or URL.

 

Connect to: Here you can enter the name of the server, e.g. ftp.microsoft.com, or a complete URL, like ftp://username:password@servername:portnumber/path. All parts of the URL (except for the server name) can be left out. Examples:

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/win95/diskutl

myself@myserver.com:1021

If you enter a Web address, like http://www.someserver.com/somefile.htm, Total Commander will try to download the file with the http protocol.

 

Anonymous connection

If you haven't entered a user name in the URL, Total Commander assumes that you want to use anonymous as the user name, and your e-mail address as the password. If this option isn't checked, Total Commander will ask you during the connection for your user name and password.

This option is automatically checked if there is an @ sign in the connect line.

 

Use firewall (proxy server)

If you access the Internet over a company network (or Intranet), you may need to specify a firewall server here. For this purpose, selecting this option will open another dialog box.

 

Ok Opens the connection and adds the URL / server name to the drop down combo box. Even if you entered a password using the method above, the password will NOT be saved in this list.

 

Cancel Closes the dialog box without opening a connection.
