Intelligence and simpilcity - easy to understand how you think.
 
The Site Manager allows [[FileZilla_FTP_Client|FileZilla client]] users to store information about their FTP sites.
 
==Starting Site Manager==
 
The Site Manager command is located under the File menu. You can also press Ctrl+S or Command+S.
 
==Site Manager Dialog==
 
Use the ''Select Entry'' panel on the left to select the target site. Once a site is selected, you may do the following with it:
 
* ''Connect to''
* ''Edit''
* ''Copy''
* ''Rename''
* ''Delete''
 
Use the ''New Folder'' button to introduce or add folders.
 
In the right panel, you have 4 tabs to enter some needed, and much optional, information about the selected site on the left.
 
=== General tab ===
 
* Host: Example: <code>ftp.example.com</code>
* Port: Only if it differs from the standards.
* Protocol: Enter the type of FTP server you will connect to (such as FTP or SFTP).
* Encryption: Whether, and how, the FTP connection should be encrypted.
* Logon Type: The type of login that will take place, when appropriate. The options are: 
** ''Anonymous:'' You can't enter a username and password. In this case, the username is always "Anonymous".
** ''Normal:'' You have to enter a username and, if required, a password.
** ''Ask for password:'' FileZilla asks you the password during logon, and it remembers the password during the session.
** ''Interactive:'' FileZilla asks for the password, and asks again for every new connection to the server.
** ''Account:'' Selecting this enables the "Account" field in the bookmark's settings. This account type is for FTP only; SFTP does not have support for it.
* User: The user ID to use when connecting.
* Password: Optional.
* Account: Optional.
* Comments: Optional.
 
=== Advanced tab ===
 
* ''Servertype'' : allows you to make a special selection for this FTP target. Most sites will work fine with the Default value, however some will require SFTP.
* ''Bypass proxy'' : Allows to bypass any proxy server.
* ''Default local directory'' field : Allows you to specify a starting local folder when activating a connection. Example: D:\sites\site1
* ''Default remote directory'' : Allows you to specify a starting remote sub-folder when activating a connection. Begin it with a / and add only the path that follows the root ftp directory. Example: /public_html
* ''Time Zone Settings'' : Allows to interpret time zone values for the FTP server different from its real settings. See the [[Server_timezone_offset|server timezone offset]] page for more information.
 
=== Transfer Settings tab ===
 
Specifies in more detail how transfer may take place.
 
=== Charset tab ===
 
Specifies the character set used to communicate with the targeted FTP site.
 
== Using Site Manager ==
 
Once you've configured your site, select it and click Connect.
