Note: The connection configuration will be saved for importing data in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored.
7. Give a name to your connection in the Connection name text box.
8. Click Import to upload data into Zoho DataPrep from the FTP server.
9. Once you have completed importing data, your dataset will open and you can start preparing your data right away.

To edit the FTP connection
DataPrep saves your data connections to avoid the hassle of keying in the credentials every time you need to connect to a data source or destination. You can always edit the saved data connection and update them with new parameters or credentials using the Edit connection option.
1. While creating a new dataset, click Saved data connections from the left pane in the Choose a data source section.
2. You can manage your saved data connections right from the data import screen. Click the ellipsis (3 dots) icon to share, edit, view the connection overview, or remove the connection.
3. Click the Edit connection option to update the saved connection with new parameters or credentials.
