Close the bookmark. You will be returned to the bookmarks view.

Connect to your FTP server

Double click the bookmark to attempt to open the FTP connection.

The first time you do this, you will be prompted to enter a password. Enter your password and Make sure the Add to Keychain box is ticked to save your password for future connections.  Click the login button.

If login is successful, cyberduck will switch to the file browser view and you will see the files in your remote directory. Well done!!
