STEP 2:

Select "New Site"

STEP 3:

Enter the name you want to label the site as.

STEP 4:

Enter in your host name (domain name), click on normal logon type. Then enter your user name and password. Remember for any user other then the root user you will need to include the domain name.

This step is not necessary but does come in handy and save time every time you reconnect to the domain. Click on the button to the right of the Default local directory and browse to the folder you have set up for the site you are adding and select that folder. Then enter "/www/" in the Default Remote Directory if you are the root user. If you are not the root user leave this field blank. Then hit ok.
