Here's an example on how the list should look like incase you're using MS Excel for that purpose:

    In order to use this feature, you have to set the ftp settings of the profile you want to use, to do that press F2 select the profile you want, and then fill the fields related to FTP. Enter your host address that you use to connect to your site, the username, password, Remote Dir. (the software will connect to this directory and upload the link files to it), Realt Path (the real location of the folder that will contain the links for example:
    
    http://www.submittingmonster.com/links/
    
    would be our real path if we are storing the links in links directory) once you finish you're ready to go. When you visit any directory that requires a reciprocal link, the software will capture the information and get it filled in the toolbar at the bottom of the software and you just have to set a page name (ex: links.html, links.php, links.php) or whatever name and extension you prefer, choose a title for your page and then click on "Add Link" button. The software will upload the page containing the link to your site and will fill the reciprocal link field for you so you just have to click the "Submit" button.
