3. Type the host name or IP address of the FTP (or SFTP) server and click Next.

   NOTE:You can also modify the security and other properties later. To do this select the site in the Connect to FTP Site dialog box and click Security or Properties.

7. If you are configuring a connection for a registered user, you'll see the FTP User Login panel. Type your user name. You can also save your password as obfuscated text in the settings file.

8. In the Connect panel, enter a descriptive name for this site. This name is used in the Connect to FTP Site dialog box.

9. Specify whether you want to connect to the site now and click Finish.

10. From the File menu, click Save to save this change to the current settings file.
