Connection Profiles allow common usage of remote connections in other areas.\\

[attachments|Connection_profile.png]\\

Configure this VFS item to point to a remote location:\\

----
!!Usage
Then use in Job tasks with the syntax {connect_start}profilename{connect_end}.  This will bring in the URL for the connection profile where that is configured.\\

!!Special Usage (rarely used functionality):
In a UserVariable task item, you can use the name of that task item to have the connection profile.  Example: {connect_start}conn2{connect_end}\\
Now the UserVariable task can reference any aspect of this connection.\\
{{{
{connect_url}
{connect_x_myvariable} - where myvariable is an Extra Text item you added at the bottom of the User Manager for this profile.
{connect_other} - where other is any other property from the loaded XML item.
}}}\\
