  - Anonymous: You can't enter a username and password. In this case the username always is anonymous.
  - Normal: You have to enter a username and if required, a password.
  - Ask for password: FileZilla asks you the password during logon and it remembers the password during the session.
  - Interactive: FileZilla asks for the password ... and asks again for every new connection to the server.

- the user ID to use when connecting,
- the password required : optional

ADVANCED tab: Here you may enter :

- Bypass proxy : Allows to bypass any proxy server.
- Default local directory field : Allows you to specify a starting local folder when activating a connection. Example: D:\sites\site1
- Default remote directory : Allows you to specify a starting remote sub-folder when activating a connection. Begin it with a / and add only the path that follows the root ftp directory. Example: /public_html
- Time Zone Settings : Allows to interpret time zone values for the FTP server different from its real settings. See the server timezone offset page for more information.
