Creating a New Session with Connect

In contrast to the Quick Connect dialog (see Creating a New Session with Quick Connect), the New Session button on the toolbar of the Connect dialog allows you to name the session something other than the hostname or IP address of the computer to which you are connecting.

Note: "Default" is not a valid name for a session that is at the root level in the Connect dialog.

When you use the New Session button, the Session Options dialog appears, allowing you to customize all of the settings associated with the new session. Enter the Name and Protocol of your new session and the Connection subcategories will change based on your chosen protocol. To complete your setup, click on the subcategory for the Protocol you chose and enter the required information. Your Protocol setting options are SFTP, FTP, FTP/TLS, and SCP.

When you have finished setting up the new session, you will see the new session listed in the Connect dialog.
