To add site listings to your Site Manager

1. From the menu, choose Tools > Site Manager > Import FTP Sites.

2. Select your old FTP client from the Import from list.

3. Type the path or browse to your old client site list.

4. Select Merge site entries into the existing Site Manager.

5. Choose Start Conversion.

To replace your Site Manager listings with an imported list

1. From the menu, choose Tools > Site Manager > Import FTP Sites.

2. Select your old FTP client from the Import from list.

3. Type the path or browse to your old client site list.

4. Type a path or browse to a folder where you will save the new Site Manager list.

Warning:

Do not save the new database in the CuteFTP program folder or the CuteFTP Application Data folder until step 10.

5. Select Create a new Site Manager with these entries.

6. From the menu Start Conversion.

7. Exit CuteFTP and open Windows Explorer.

8. Navigate to your user profile folder.
   Example: WDocuments and Settings\jsmith\Application Data\Globalscape\CuteFTP Professional.

9. Give your current Site Manager file (sm.dat) another name, like sm.bak or sm.old.

10. Move the database you created in step five to the CuteFTP directory and rename it sm.dat.

11. Restart CuteFTP and begin using your new Site Manager database.

Warning:

Do not manually overwrite CuteFTP’s sm.dat file while CuteFTP is running. CuteFTP automatically saves the sm.dat file upon exit. This means that if you replace the sm.dat file while running, CuteFTP will replace it again when you exit, resulting in the loss of your replacement file.

To export your Site Manager listings

You can also export your Site Manager listings as a text file in two different formats. You may export the listings as URLs only, or as a more detailed listing of hostnames, directories and descriptions.

1. From the menu, choose Tools > Site Manager > Export Sites as URL to generate a list of sites as Web addresses. Choose Tools > Site Manager > Export Sites as Text to generate a list of sites in plain text.

2.  Enter a name and choose a location for your exported listings in the Save As dialog box that appears.

3. Select Save.
