Create HotDrop in Send To Menu - Select this option to set the selected FTP site as a HotDrop in the Send to menu (located in the right-click menu). HotDrops in the Send to menu are shortcuts for transferring files to remote FTP directories. After you create a HotDrop in the Send to menu, the site is added to the right-click menu with the site name; for example, mysite.

When you right-click on a file in Windows Explorer or the local WS_FTP main window, select Send To > WS_FTP HotDrop and the name of the target HotDrop site in the list, the file is transferred to the selected FTP directory. Sites that are set as a HotDrop in the Send to Menu are indicated by a red heart next to the site icon.
