FTP access interface

The FTP indicator indicates the connection status. A red indicator is shown if there is no connection. The indicator turns green when a connection is active.
Click the Connect/Disconnect button to connect/disconnect the currently selected FTP server in the nearby drop-down list.
Click the Manage Connection button to create a new FTP connection or edit/delete the currently selected FTP connection.

Creating a new FTP Connection

In order to connect to the FTP folder you will need to create an FTP Connection for this folder, which implies entering the FTP server address and login information, which later will be used by TO3000 3D to log in to this FTP folder.

To create a new connection:

1. Click the Manage Connections button

2. Select New connection ... in the menu which appears:

3. Enter the name of the new connection, the FTP server's address, the user name (FTP login) and password (TO3000 3D will memorize your password)

4. Select any additional settings if you need to use them (Use passive transfer, FTP over SSL/TLS, Keep connection alive).

5. Click the OK button to create this FTP connection.

Connecting to FTP

Once the FTP connection has been created, it can quickly be activated with the help of the FTP connections drop-down list.

1. Select the required FTP Connection in the drop-down list to connect to that FTP server.

2. Click the Connect button to display the contents of FTP in the field below. The list and the Manage Connection button will become inactive while you are connected.
