The Open Connection button and menu command bring up the sign-on dialog. There you should enter the name or IP number of the machine you would like to connect to, the name of your account (i.e. the user id), that account's password, and (optionally) the directory you would like to start with. If the account name is omitted the name ╥anonymous╙ will be assumed. If the password is omitted the default password set in Preferences will be used.
You can fill in some or all of these fields by choosing an item from the Shortcut pop-up menu. Click on the icon at the bottom of the sign-on dialog and the menu will pop-up. It includes the names of several Internet archives.
The signon dialog box supports ╥smart paste╙ of Universal Resource Locators (URLs). If you paste a URL it will be broken into parts and the parts placed in the appropriate fields. See the ╥Universal Resource Locators╙ topic for more information on URLs.
NOTE: In some cases it is necessary to connect to a server running on a non-standard TCP port. In this case you should type the port number after the name of the host. For instance, entering ╥gateway 1000╙ would connect you to port 1000 on the machine named ╥gateway.╙
