Settings and Options 

Options 

Global max connections/transfers 

o 

Choose the number of simultaneous connections you will allow from CuteFTP.  

On a Windows 95/98/ME computer you can choose up to 40 

connections. 

On a Windows NT/2k/XP computer you can choose up to 200 

connections, but CuteFTP will warn you that more than 20 connections 

may compromise system performance.  

Connections include transfers, browse sessions, and every single thread in 

a Multi Part transfer. 

Per site max connections/transfers 

o 

Same as Global max but on a per site basis. 

Note: 

If you choose to allow only one connection per site, you must transfer 

files over the browse session only (you can navigate or transfer, but not 

both at the same time). This may be needed in situations where the server 

does not allow more than one connection from the same user. If the 

server allows more than one connection, then it is recommended that 

you use a value greater than one, for example 5. That way you can 

transfer files and at the same time continue to navigate the site.  

Connection retry attempts 

o 

Choose the number of times CuteFTP tries to connect to a site before giving up. 

You can set CuteFTP to try connecting up to 1,000 times. 

Delay between retries in seconds 

o 

Choose how long CuteFTP waits before attempting a new connection after a 

failed connection. Choose up to 1,000 seconds (about 17 minutes). 

Note: 

CuteFTP does not automatically retry after fatal errors, such as a host 

unreachable (invalid IP address or host name), or upon receiving a socket 

1006n error, which usually has to do with the client not being able to 

connect to the host for various reasons (firewall blocking, network error, 

host is down, etc.).  

Connection timeout in seconds: 

o 

Choose how long CuteFTP waits for an unresponsive server before it stops 

attempting a new connection. Choose up to 1,000 seconds (about 17 minutes). 

E mail address for anonymous logins 

o 

Enter the address you want to send to servers that require an e mail address for 

anonymous logins.  By default, CuteFTP sends a simulated e mail address. 

Display the server s welcome message  

o 

Select this to display a pop up window with information from the server when 

initial connections are successful.
