Connecting to a HTTP site 

You can connect to HTTP servers with CuteFTP Professional. If you have the appropriat

T

O CONNECT TO A 

HTTP 

SITE 

1.  From the m

  enu, select File > New > HTTP Site. The Site Properties dialog box 

appears.  

2.  Enter an identifying name for the site in the Label field.  

3.  Enter the HTTP site's address in the  o

H st address field. Prefixing the HTTP site 

address with http:// is not necessary.  

4.  If the site uses basic HTTP username/password authentication, fill in your user 

name and password in the appropriate fields. Notice t

  hat under the Type tab, the 

site has been automatically set up as an HTTP site.  

5.  If the Web site operates on a port other than 80, enter the appropriate port number 

in the Port field. Most sites connect to port 80. If the last portion of the site's  R

U L 

ends in a number, that number is the port to use. For example, 

http://www.example.com:99 indicates that the Web server www.example.com 

operates on port 99. The r m

e ainder of the tabs and fields are identical to those seen 

when adding an FTP site.  

6. Select Connect to establish the connection.
