Quick Connect

Show or hide the Quick Connect bar. Via Quick Connect you can quickly connect to a FTP site without adding it first to the Site Manager. Enter hostname, username and password and press Connect to log you on to the server. For other connection parameters (like Download Path, Retries, Retrydelay and PASVMode) default values are used from the Options->Connection configuration. When you enter a hostname that is present in the Site Manager, Quick Connect automatically will use the parameters configured in the Site Manager.

Local Browser

Show or hide the local browser. The local browser has the same look and feel as Windows Explorer. It allows you to easily drag and drop files between local and remote folders.
