Notes about Passwords

If you are logging on anonymously (using an e-mail address as a password):

  • You can use a valid e-mail address if you do not mind the FTP site learning your e-mail address.
  • You can place a minus (-) sign in front of the e-mail address in order to minimize the number of descriptive messages you will receive from the FTP site administrator.
  • WS_FTP does not allow you to enter a blank password; however, you can enter empty quotation marks if you would rather not divulge a valid e-mail address.

If you are not logging on anonymously:

  • We do not recommend turning on Save Password unless you are the only user of your computer and no one else has access to your WS_FTP folder. If you do not save the password, WS_FTP will prompt you for one when you initiate the connection.
