Changing ftp settings in ColdFusion Builder

My post tonight is rather elementary, but it took me long enough to figure it out that I thought that making this post might save someone else some precious time. My ftp server on one of my servers requires an "active" connection opposed to a "passive" connection. When setting up the ftp connection in ColdFusion Builder I always seem to forget to change that option as it is under the advanced settings. Once you confirm your ftp settings, it was difficult for me at least, to find where in ColdFusion Builder to make changes to the existing settings.

I looked under the properties of the site in the navigator window, preferences under the Window context menu, and virtually every other menu I could find. Eventually, I stumbled upon the File Manager tab, which of course I don't regularly use, and sure enough I was able to right-click my ftp connections that were listed and choose properties to edit the settings. It makes sense once you open the File Manager which of course I keep hidden.
