Tells EasyFTP to use ASCII (7-bit) data-transfer mode. You should normally leave this unchecked since most files on FTP sites are binary (8-bit) files and 8-bit transfer mode works fine with 7-bit data.


Allows EasyFTP to interact with FTP sites that operate in a "passive" state, which means that data transfer is initiated by the "client" (your PC) and not the "server" (the FTP site).


The port number to connect to at the FTP site.


The number of time EasyFTP will try again to log into the FTP site if it is unable to do so successfully on the first try.


Tells EasyFTP to open a status window while connecting to the FTP site and display the login commands and responses as they are generated. This can be helpful if you are having trouble connecting to the FTP site.


If the FTP site does not respond while EasyFTP is trying to connect, this is the length of time EasyFTP will wait before it gives up trying to connect. (EasyFTP will try to connect for this length of time for each retry specified above.)


The current name of the EasyFTP site (or group). Change this by entering a new name under Site Name (or Group Description).


WT Email Address
Your email address. As a matter of Internet etiquette, this will be used as your password when connecting to FTP sites an an "anonymous" user.


Tests to see if the FTP address you entered is accessible. Clicking this button "pings" the site to see if it exists, but does not try to connect to it. If you get a message saying that the site is unavailable, right-click that message and view What's This help.


The folder (directory) that you want to log into each time you connect to the the FTP site. Leave this blank to log into the root folder.

Note:

If you enter a folder name here, you will not be able to move into any folder toward the root folder at the FTP site. For example, if you enter /pub/win95/patch as your default folder, you will not be able to move to /pub/win95 or to /pub once you are connected to the site.


The Internet address of the FTP site. For example, ftp.symantec.com.


The name of the FTP site, as it appears in the Explorer list.


Your account name or number at the FTP site. The account name or number is required by some FTP sites to control the type or area of access provided to individual users.


Lets you log into the FTP site as an "anonymous" user. Most FTP sites give limited, usually read-only,  access to anonymous users. If you uncheck this, you must have adequate access rights at the FTP site and you will need to enter a Login Name and a Password.


Your user or login name at the FTP site. This is available only if Use Anonymous Login is unchecked, in which case you must have adequate access rights at the FTP site.


Your password at the FTP site. This is available only if Use Anonymous Login is unchecked, in which case you must have adequate access rights at the FTP site.


When you click Verify Address, this message will tell you whether EasyFTP was able to "see" the FTP site you entered. If it could not, possible problems are:

Possible Problem	Try This
The FTP address you entered may contain a typographical error.	Correct the error.
Your PC is not connected to the Internet properly.	If you have a dial-up Internet connection, you must be "dialed up" before the Verify Address button will work.
Your Internet provider could not convert the FTP address you entered into the required numeric FTP address.	Try to obtain the numeric FTP address for the site and enter it as the FTP Address.
The FTP site may be "down."	Try again later.
The FTP site did not respond to the verification request (ping) within a reasonable time.	Try again later.


The name of the EasyFTP group, as you want it to appear in the Explorer list.


What does EasyFTP do?

EasyFTP gives you easy access to FTP sites on the Internet by adding them to the folder tree in Windows Explorer.

To explore an FTP site, just expand the "folder" for an FTP site. EasyFTP comes preconfigured with many popular FTP sites and lets you add others.
