The Sessions dialog box allows you to create and manage sessions. By default the dialog box opens automatically when Xftp starts. You can also open it by clicking Open on the File menu.

A session holds information that Xftp uses when connecting to a remote host. By creating sessions, you can save your efforts to enter the remote hostname and other required information if you are connecting to a specific computer frequently.

The toolbar contains a number of buttons to manage sessions.
