How to create and manage FTP accounts

08.01.2011

Sometimes you need to visit a particular FTP site only once. To save having to set up a login file for that site in your accounts list, FireFTP offers a 'Quick Connect' option. This lets you log in once without it storing the login details. To do this, choose Quick Connect from the box at the top-left.

If you want to perform a specific action on a file, you can force it to open in a particular application. Right-click a file and choose 'Open With', 'Add Programs'. Specify the program you want to open a particular file type in. Note that you'll need to browse to the executable file on your hard drive to set this up.

If you have several files, you may need to use FireFTP's search tool to find what you're looking for. Select the folder you want to search within, then choose Tools, Search/Filter. Enter your search term in the box at the bottom of the screen; use + to add words, - to exclude words and quotation marks to search for phrases.
