Press “+” button to add a new FTP connection to the list.

Give your connection a name of our choice.

Choose a protocol – simple FTP, FTP over SSH, and secure FTP with SSL.

In “Server” field enter IP address of your hosted server or domain name.

Enter your login credentials in ‘Login’ and ‘Password’ fields. If the server allows, you can use Anonymous access.

Specify whether you want to store your user ID in Mac OS Keychain.

Choose Passive or Active FTP mode and home directory for connection.

Now, press “Connect” button and your server will be displayed as a mounted drive in Commander One window. You can select it in either panel, or both of them simultaneously to optimize the workflow.
