Sending custom FTP commands manually

A situation can arise where you must send a custom FTP command to your host. A custom command that does not exist as a standard FTP command and therefore is not available in the list of possible FTP commands that can be sent.

Create or select an existing host connection and connect to the host.

From the menu bar, click Commands → Custom.

The Custom Command dialog displays

Type the FTP command to be sent in the field provided.

Click OK.

The FTP command is sent.

Tip

If you are using the power key feature and you have the default values set, you can use the power key labeled Custom as a shortcut in lieu of selecting the command from the menu bar.
