Importing sites from old versions of CuteFTPCuteFTP’s Site Manager now houses its data in a file called sm.dat, located in the CuteFTP directory. Older versions of CuteFTP use tree.dat (before 2.5) or smdata.dat (2.5 to 3.5). Importing the Site Manager files will allow you to access your old sites.Import your old sites into CuteFTP by clicking on the Import button in the Site Manager and then locating your tree.dat file. If you have installed version 2.6 or greater, then look for smdata.dat in the import directory located under the CuteFTP directory. Once you find the tree.dat or smdata.dat file highlight it and click on Import. The sites now appear in your Site Manager.If the tree.dat file that you imported was also in the same directory where the bookmark.dat was, then even your old bookmarks will be imported.Transferring Files with CuteFTPTransferring FilesOnce you are connected to a remote server, there are many ways to start file transfers:DRAG-AND-DROP.
