Switch to faster FTP Client
and Import CuteFTP Site Data
The 3D-FTP is clearly faster than CuteFTP 4.2 (read full study
here), so it's no wonder that many Cute FTP users are switching
to 3D-FTP. To make this switch easier, we have created an Import-feature.
Import loads CuteFTP site data and adds it into the 3D-FTP Site
Manager.
Please make sure that you have 3D-FTP 6.01 or newer installed.
This version adds support for CuteFTP 5.0 XP and CuteFTP Pro 3.0.
You can download latest version here.
STEP1. Start Import
Start 3D-FTP and select Import Sites-command from Site-menu. Following
window is shown. Open drop down-list by clicking arrow button.
STEP2. Select CuteFTP Version
Select your CuteFTP version from the drop-down list and click Get
Sites-button.
STEP3. Locate CuteFTP Site Manager file
