Default Auto connect

How can I allow it to auto connect on startup automatically? I would like to choose something from my history.

If you're using Windows 7 you can pin FlashFXP to your taskbar then right-click on the taskbar icon to access your history directly from the taskbar.

Or you can open the Preferences dialog > General > Options and check the setting Open Site Manager on Startup.

Oh, it would be great if we can automatically connect on program startup though. I only connect to a server and I want a fast connection to it so I don't have to navigate and click the mouse twice. Hopefully you would add this long awaited option.

Another thing I found is during document edit in server side, the window will disappear somehow. Also, there is no option to view the file locally or select the program that I want to open the file with.

Modify your shortcut and use a command line argument to connect to the desired site. Information can be found in the help file.

Thanks, but I have already seen that and it does not tell me what to enter if I am connecting via SSH/SFTP. How would I go about entering all those information?

you can specify site name that is in your site manager, and flashfxp will get all the info from there

It will try to connect to the name, which is invalid. E.g

"C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashFXP 4\FlashFXP.exe" dreamhost site1

says,

If the site is not in any group and the exact name is "dreamhost site1" then it should work, however if you have a group named dreamhost and the site name is site1 it needs to be done like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashFXP 4\FlashFXP.exe" \dreamhost\site1
