Site Manager

FortressFX Site Manager allows you to manage FortressFX Site Profiles. Initially, without any profiles created, the Site Manager looks like the following:

A new site can be added using either the Add Site button or the Connection Wizard button . If the Wizard is used, then the new site will be added with all the fields filled from the wizard. If the Add button is used then an empty site will be added with the name "New Site". Fill all the pages with the appropriate information.

Site Name: A descriptive name for easily identifying the site during current and future use of FortressFX.
Host address: The hostname or IP address of the remote server.
