==FileZilla Site Manager==
How could any of this be better stated? It cduoln't.
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 sub menu.
You can also press CTRL+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'', or
* ''Delete''.
 
Use the ''New Folder'' button to introduce or add folders.
 
In the right panel, you have 4 tabs to enter a few needed and many optional information about the selected site on the left. They are the following:
 
* ''GENERAL'' tab : Here, you may enter:
** the hostname :  Example: ftp.example.com
** the Port number : only if it differs from the standards
** the type of FTP server you will connect to (such as FTP or SFTP),
** 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 always is 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.
** the user ID to use when connecting,
** the password required : optional
** the account information needed : optional
** comments about the site : optional 
 
* ''ADVANCED'' tab: Here you may enter :
** ''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.
