Step 2 of 3  < Previous | Next >

The 'Create Shortcut' window should now be open. First you'll need locate the item you want to shortcut to, i.e. WS_FTP Pro.

You can browse to the location of you WS_FTP Pro executable (.exe file) or simply cut and paste the following (these are the default locations for these programs):

WS_FTP Pro executable: "C:\Program Files\WS_FTP Pro\wsftppro.exe"

However, you're not done so please don't click the Next button yet.


You'll also need to add your FTP site profile information or you'll just be creating a shortcut to WS_FTP Pro.

Following the closing quote in the text you just entered, you'll need to enter 
-p
(for profile) then the folder name and profile name seperated by an !

For this example, let's use the Ipswitch FTP site profile (which comes with every version of WS_FTP Pro).

Add the following: -p Ipswitch!Ipswitch

To create shortcuts to other profiles, simply substitute the new profile folder name and profile name:

... \wsftppro.exe" -p foldername!profilename

Note: This shortcut may not work with profile names or folder names that have spaces in them.  A work-around is to replace the spaces in your names with underscores ( _ ).

You can now click the Next > button.
