Bookmark Options 

Setting	Description
Protocol	Your hosting service provider will let you know what protocol to use. Change the protocol in the topmost popup menu.
Nickname	Any name for the bookmark describing it for easy access using the bookmark filter. You can also type this name in the bookmark view to select it by name.
Server	The hostname of the server. This is not editable if you have chosen a protocol with a predefined, non-configurable hostname. Make sure no server path is included but only the domain name and instead set any server path in Path.
Username	The login credentials from your service provider.
SSH Private Key	For SFTP connections only. Choose a private key for public key authentication instead of a password. If the key is password-protected, you are prompted to enter the passphrase to decrypt the key.
Client Certificate	For HTTPS connections only. Choose a client certificate for mutual transport level security (TLS).
Path	The initial working directory when connecting to the server. This must be the document root of the webserver if you want to configure HTTP URLs (see below) to work.
Web URL	HTTP server address
Download Folder	Default location for files downloaded from this server.
Transfer Files	Choose to open a new connection for transfers in the transfers window or to use the existing browser connection. When using the browser connection, transfers block other operations.
Connect Mode	For FTP connections only. Refer to FTP Connect Mode.
Encoding	For FTP connections only. Character encoding of filenames on the server. You can also change the encoding used when the connection is open using View → Text Encoding if characters are not displayed properly. Try `UTF-8` (the default), `ISO-8859-1`, and `Windows-1252`. Refer to Character Encoding.
Timezone	For all protocols except FTP, timestamps are reported in UTC from the server and there is no need for configuration. All timestamps in the browser are automatically converted to the timezone you have configured in the System Preferences and displayed in local time. For FTP however, the local timezone is assumed for timestamps in directory listings If the server is configured with a different timezone that your Mac and returning the local time for modification dates, there will be an offset by the timezone difference. To get the correct local time for modification dates in the browser, you can choose the timezone of the server in the bookmark settings. Select Bookmark → Edit Bookmark.

Passwords 

Manage your passwords with Keychain Access.app. Refer to Keychain for Mac: Kexchain Access overview.

Web URL 

With a valid configuration, you can open the corresponding HTTP URL of a file selected with your default web browser or copy the URL to the clipboard. You can select multiple files in the browser for a list of URLs.

Enter the HTTP URL of the web server using a different hostname than what you connect to using FTP. You also have to specify a reasonable default path in your bookmark (e.g. /home/dkocher/public_html/). That must be the directory accessed by the web server as your document root. Using an Apache web server this is equivalent to the DocumentRoot directive.

Example configuration:

Server	example.net	Hostname configured in bookmark to connect to
Bookmark Path	`/home/user/public_html/`	The Web Server Document Root
Selected File	`/home/user/public_html/stylsheet.css`	A file selected in the browser
HTTP URL	http://example.net/stylesheet.css	Accessible in the web browser

Web URLs are supported for FTP, SFTP and WebDAV. See also Open or copy HTTP URL.

Exporting Bookmarks 

Drag the bookmark from the Bookmark Drawer anywhere to the Finder.app/ Explorer (e.g. the Desktop). You can double-click the document in the file browser to open a new connection to the server specified in the bookmark. To back up all bookmarks, refer to this FAQ entry.

Note

You can share bookmarks between Mac & Windows as the file format is the same on both platforms.
