Store FTP information | Forum

Is there a place where I can enter my FTP account information once and never have to enter it again? Each time I do something or at least every time I log in of the first time and do something that requires FTP access, I first get the FTP access error because the FTP account information is not entered into the form and then I have to type everyone in. This gets pretty annoying. I have a couple oxwall sites and have to go else ware to copy/past the information in.

This should be done by your browser, something like remembering all your passwords, check your browser settings.

If you are doing several things at once like updating several plugins at once, oxwall will remember your info for the next one until you leave the session i believe, just keep updating them and you dont have to remember it again. So you only have to enter it once.
I dont like to enter it either that one time, but it is better than every time and its is better to do it one time and have it secure then to have someone get your info from your browser and get into your site. Security is not always easy, but it is "always" important and worth a little inconvenience.
Did you know that many times the weakest part of any connection is the browser, think about that before you go storing your passwords and such..
However if you must, at least dont use your cPanel login. You might be interested in this.
