CuteFTP is an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) application written for Windows platforms. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer files between your computer and remote ones. It is used for most frequently for moving web pages from onto web servers which then publish them onto the web.

Configuring CuteFTP v4.x

The main display of CuteFTP is divided into two windows. The first window is the actual window you will view when using CuteFTP; the second window is called the Site Manager. The Site Manager is an area where you can save your FTP sessions for later and make things a little easier for you. To add a site:

  1. Click on the 'New' button
  2. Enter the name you wish to use for the listing in the Site Manager
      Label : Green Apple (for example)
      FTP Host Address : ftp.greenapple.com
      FTP Site User ID : <your login>
      FTP Site Password : <your password>
      FTP Site Port : 21
      Login Type
        [x] Normal
        [ ] Anonymous
        [ ] Double
      Entering a User ID/Password will always set Login to Normal
  3. When all the items have been entered, hit CONNECT.
  4. The Site Manager will now close and you will connect to your ftp site.

Using CuteFTP To Transfer HTML Files

  1. Connect to Green Apple and Start CuteFTP.
  2. Highlight the site 'Green Apple' you created. Click 'Connect'. If later you wish to edit to the site entry, just edit the entry boxes on the Site Manager screen
  3. A welcome message appears. Hit OK.
  4. At this point you are at the main CuteFTP screen. This screen is divided into four sections: 1) Upper window, the activity log; 2) Middle Left window, window onto your (i.e. local) hard drive; 3) Middle Right window, window on your account at Green Apple (i.e. remote); 4) Bottom window, the queue window.
  5. The middle left window will show the contents of the CuteFTP directory by default. The top of the window indicates the directory and drive you are currently in. Next this is a folder icon with an arrow, which moves you up one level at a time within your local hard drive. Files are displayed in this left window. The lower right window holds the files and directories of the server.
    1. To upload files:
    2. Highlight file to upload in local (left) side
    3. Drag file to remote (right) side and drop it there
    4. The prompt will ask you 'Upload Selected File?'. Hit OK if the file name checks out
    5. The file is copied to the remote side.
      Note: If you are moving over HTML files, you need to switch to the directory 'public_html'. To do this, find the directory 'public_html' on the remote side of the screen says and double click on it. This changes you to that directory.
  6. If everything is correct, when the file is being transferred, across the top of CuteFTP, text will appear reading something like, 'opening binary connection to:' and 'uploading file...' This indicate that your files are uploading./li>
    1. To download files:
    2. Highlight the file(s) on the remote (right) side you wish to transfer
    3. Drag file to local (left) side and drop it there
    4. The prompt will ask you 'Download Selected File?'. Hit OK
    5. The file is copied to the local side.

To exit CuteFTP, select File >> Quit or select Ctrl+Q or just click the close button on the top of the window (marked 'X').

For more help on CuteFTP, select 'Contents' from the Help Menu.
