The predefined command set in CrossFTP Pro contains glFTPd, glFTPd admin, RaidenFTPD, ioFTPD, Serv-U and DrFTPD. After the predefined command is displayed, the command's definition file will appear in the following position:
Mac/Linux/Unix: ~/.crossftp/ftpcmd.xml
Windows XP, 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\username\.crossftp\ftpcmd.xml, in which user name is your login name

If you have a list of similar FTP sites, and have already opened them in the CrossFTP's tabs, you can submit the FTP command to these sites simultaneously without reentering the command many times. To do this, just choose "Sumbit to All Tabs" in the popup menu, as shown in the picture, and then input the command and press ENTER. That's it, very easy, right?
