The name you assign to a particular FTP session profile. This is completely up to you. The name you use should identify the site clearly so that you know what the site is and why you want to connect to it. The type of operating system that the FTP host is running. Most Internet computers, but not all, run a powerful, multi-user, Unix operating system just like here at Oregon State University.
Automatic detection works well for most systems.
If this is correct check this check box. Here at the University you will have a personal password and username that you would use instead. If you login each time you not only keep your account secure, you also remember the password when you need to change it later. If you check this box, anyone with access to your computer can pretend to be you and login to this FTP directory. This is the login assigned to the person with the access account.
