FtpVC Screenshots
When FtpVC opens, the first dialog allows you to specify a user name and password, which are used only to identify you within the version control environment.
The Project Options dialog next asks for your FTP settings to connect to the server (required fields are highlighted in the screenshot). To set the local and remote directories you wish to connect to, go to the Startup tab.
