  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the new FTPS connection window, name the connection and enter the connection information.

    * **Hostname** - the host name of the FTPS server.
    * **User Name** - the user name to use when connecting to FTPS server.
    * **Password** - the password to use when connecting to FTPS server using password authentication.

          <Note>
            **Note:**

            User name cannot contain the character \$ and passwords cannot contain the character @.
          </Note>
    * **Port** - the TCP port of the FTPS server (Default is 21).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Test connection**. If the credentials are correct, a message that the connection test was successful appears.
