CuteFTP v4 User’s Guidefire_user jimmy fire_pass $53a&8* host ftp.microsoft.com user anonymous pass somename@domain.com port 21This will first send the username jimmy and the password $53a&8* to the firewall/proxy server (as required by that specific server configuration). Then, CuteFTP will open a connection to the Microsoft FTP site and login anonymously on port 21.Contact your system administrator for the exact sequence of commands needed.Connection – Index FilesUsers may specify masks for CuteFTP to use in identifying index files. The index file on the server gives you information about all the directories and files available on that site. Click Add in the index mask column to enter additional masks. You will also notice a “NOT” mask column, which tells CuteFTP which files are not index files. Add masks to this column in the same fashion.If you look at the default Index Files Mask list, you will notice a file name *index* using Wildcards. CuteFTP will consider any file with the word “index” in it to be an index file. That could cause a problem since your web page might be called index.htm. However, CuteFTP passes the file name through a second filter, the Index Files NOT Mask, and sees the *htm extension in the list. It will no longer consider your web page as an index file because of the double filtering system.The following options are also available:MAXIMUM SAFE INDEX FILE SIZE. Index files larger than the specified number of kilobytes will not be loaded automatically. Users are prompted whether or not to load large index files. AUTO-LOAD INDEX FILES TO MEMORY. When enabled, any index files found will be cached for quick accecss. Connection – LogThe log file visible in the upper portion of the CuteFTP screen shows every action performed and server response.
