Setting Up a Workspace in WS_FTP Professional

WS_FTP Professional introduces the concept of FTP workspaces. A workspace is a saved configuration in WS_FTP, saving you the time of navigating to multiple folders and FTP sites every time you use WS_FTP Professional. The WS_FTP Professional Workspace Bar lets you easily switch between saved workspaces:

This tutorial will guide you through the steps of creating a workspace. While very simple to set-up, workspaces can be a very powerful tool for Webmasters, bloggers, podcasters, auction enthusiasts, music aficionados...everyone!

Workspaces are incredibly easy to set-up. To start, make sure WS_FTP Professional has the Workspaces Toolbar showing. Select View > Toolbars > Workspace Bar to enable it.

Next, navigate the local and remote sides of WS_FTP Professional to the configuration you want.

Once you have the configuration you want, click Add in the Workspace Bar.

 WS_FTP will prompt your for a Workspace Name. You can call it anything you like. Click OK and the workspace will be saved.

To use this workspace in the future, select the workspace name from the drop-down box in the Workspace Bar and WS_FTP will automatically connect to all FTP sites and navigate to the appropriate folders in the workspace.

If you need to make a change to an existing workspace, select it from the drop-down, navigate to the new configuration you want and select Save. This will overwrite the existing workspace with the new configuration.
