• You can always select the alternative mode, by holding down the shift key while you are opening the session.
• If you want, to show the login dialog when the previous/last session was closed or on the startup, the closed checkbox always controls if the login dialog is shown automatically when you start the WinFTP Pro software or when you close the last/previous session.
• The checkbox “Keep the main window open when the last session is closed” can control whether the application should be closed after the login dialog, which opens automatically along with the last closed session, which has been canceled without opening the new session.
• You will find the display tips under the startup checkbox, which controls if WinFTP Pro displays the new usage tips on the startup.
• For this, you will be required the automatic checks for the application updates, which are enabled to allow WinFTP Pro to retrieve the new tips.
