When connection to a site using Anonymous login it is required that use supply your E-mail address as password.

Double-click action

You can specify what type of action should occur when double-clicking on a file placed on a FTP server. Magellan Explorer can either download the file and start the application associated with the file type or just download the file. In the latter option is chosen then the file will be downloaded to the folder currently open in the target folder window.

Clipboard URL monitoring

When you cut and paste text in Windows they are stored in the clipboard. Magellan Explorer can monitor the clipboard after any lines that start with ftp://, indicating that it is a ftp address. Once an FTP address (URL) is encountered you can choose to have any of the following actions taken.

·	Automatically connect to the site - Magellan Explorer will attempt to connect and login without first prompting you with the Quick Connect dialog.

·	Open the Quick Connect dialog with the site address - Same as above, except the Quick Connect dialog will be opened first and you will be able to abort the connect here.

·	Do not monitor the clipboard - Effectively disables this feature.

Note: The currently active folder window will be used when connecting to the FTP server.
