User’s GuideWS_FTP Pro Note You can use two different site configurations (with different names) for the same FTP site, for example, if you want to log onto the same site using different user IDs.Once you configure an FTP site, you can go back and change the site name by selecting the site name and then selecting Rename from the File menu.Guidelines for Entering the FTP Site’s Host Name or IP AddressEvery system on the Internet has an official host name and IP address. In order to connect to an FTP site, you must find out the official name or address of the site.To get the name or address of a popular FTP site, you can use a search engine such as Lycos.com or Yahoo.com to search for the name. Or, try replacing the “www” portion of the organization's URL with “ftp”, for example replace www.ipswitch.com with ftp.ipswitch.com. Or simply call the company and ask for the name of their FTP site.If you want to connect to an FTP site maintained by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your ISP will provide you with an FTP name or address that looks something like: ftp.cecil.com or 156.21.50.1.Guidelines for Entering User ID, Password, and AccountTo log on to an FTP site, you must identify yourself with a User ID and Password. For sites that allow anonymous logins, you can use the word anonymous as a user ID and an e-mail address as a password. To test this, try connecting to the Ipswitch FTP site (ftp.ipswitch.com) using the user ID Anonymous.However, FTP sites that are not open to the general public, or that allow you to upload files, u sually require users to identify themselves with a unique user ID, password, and (sometimes) an account number or name. FTP sites such as these are used for exchanging confidential files within an organization, posting of personal Web pages, or storing photographs for ads in online auctions.
