should be a way to request that files should overwrite existing files for this one transfer only - seems as if when you select this option for asingle file then you must keep selecting - if you say make this the default then that is the default from then on and it doesn't ask again.

(dcbiker@…) - same as 2 prior posts

need to be able to import settings previously established on other ftp clients - like ws-ftp.

usefull for the most repeated task (for some kind of happieness)

As a user, one of the main features that I need with FTP clients is a simple, saved list of all things that are uploaded and downloaded, from where, to where, and when. I can get that by setting the Debug list to save to a log file - but it doesn't say where thing come from or go to, it doesn't say when, and (most importantly), it's cluttered with all sorts of other things I don't need so that it quickly turns into an absolutely huge file I can't use.

The best example of the type of log file I'm looking for is provided by WS_FTP. I attached a sample of the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Is there any way we can have FileZilla automatically create a simple text file like this, so I can see at a glance that (say) I did download the wna_site.mdb database, and then uploaded it again 15 minutes later.

I'd like FileZilla to be able to delete from the server the files that no longer exist on my PC. Then when I upload my website, I know that any changed filenames or whatever will not leave wasteful orphaned files on the server.

This suggestion is similar to others: *the rsync one (755621) *file synchronisation (721808)

and differs in that I would not expect FileZilla to delete any local files. It is likely that my suggestion could be rolled up with 721808, i.e. FileZilla would provide a website upload capability that worked by file synchronisation to make all the server files a proper subset of the local files.

Hi there

How can I force a refresh on a remote directory automatically after an upload (like in CuteFTP) ?

If this is not implemented yet, is it easy to add the feature in a future release ?

The way the transfer process is design causes an unnecessary slow down when transferring a large number of files at once. The process appears to be:

1) parses through the directories to get a list of files to transfer. 2) after parsing through all directories and generating a list of files to transfer, place an entry in the queue for each item in the list. 3) after placing each atem from the list into the queue begin tranferring the files

By changing the process to begin tranferring files as they get entered into the queue would speed things up dramatically when tranferring a lot of files. Furthermore, in this regard it would then further speed things up to begin adding files to the queue as they are gathered instead of waiting to build the entire list of files to transfer.

Thanks!

Hi, I use FileZilla for thanks.

My Last favor is that I want know the remain time

without clicking on Filezilla icon on TaskBar on the bottom of screen.

If there are multiple file that download or upload, show

the longest left time in title like attached ScreenShot.

Briefly, I want know when Network is ready :D

Thanks for reading.

I've been very impressed with the FileZilla tool thus far. However, I can see a possible improvement. Hopefully, I haven't overlooked this functionality in the tool or it's documentation.

I'd like the ability to invoke FileZilla from the command line. If I had a FileZilla Queue saved to a file, I'd like the ability to from a command line do something like:

"C:\ftpdir\filezilla.exe 'myqueue.xml' - processQueue=quietly -logfile=myqueue.log"

and, without the interface opening up, see that FileZilla is processing the queue and putting the log information into the given log file.

Is this functionality present? Is it possible? Do you think it may be included in the future?

Can I help :)

Thanks in advance for your response,

Joseph

An option to set default file attributes when uploading files. Would be most useful for website uploading. Best would be individual settings for each site.

Would like to see the feature of Right Click mouse - and there is an option to transfer the file to the ftp server that we choose.

the right click mouse will appears when we are in the explorer just like cuteftp or winzip.

I would like to be able to right-click on a remote folder or file and be able to change ownership (same way you can change permissions).

Thanks

As it is now, when transferring directory structures, FZ has a strange way of doing it. Instead of transferring all files and directories in each top-level directory, it seems to transfer some files and dirs in each TLD, then goes to a "level two" in each TLD, and then a "level three" in each TLD. At least, that's how it seems.

A better way would be to transfer all files and dirs in each TLD before going to the next TLD. For example, consider this remote tree:

/

dirA

level1

level2

dirB

level1

level2

dirC

If that remote tree was transferred to the local tree with FZ, FZ *should* transfer /dirA, /dirA/level1, and /dirA/level1/level2 *before* transferring anything in /dirB. It should then transfer everything in /dirB before moving on to /dirC.

The reason is simple: if a transfer is aborted, and the queue is lost (with FZ currently unable to export large queues, this is a very real problem), you can easily find what directories have been completely transferred, and which ones have been partially transferred, and proceed to transfer the rest. As it is now, if you lose your queue, the only way to be sure you get all of the files is to START ALL OVER AGAIN. When transferring 30,000+ files totalling several GIGABYTES in size this is VERY frustrating.

I hope that was understandable enough. If you need more clarification, let me know.

Now when filezilla goes to parent directory it makes selected '..' directory on top of list.

I'll save some time if filezilla in this case makes selected directory from which I'm returned.

P.S. Sorry for bad english.

Would it be possible to associate unique sounds (in CPL) to the major FTP actions (transfer failed, transfer successful, connect successful, connect failure, etc)??

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#9 - CuteFTP and WSFTP site import. I spent about 30 minutes converting my CuteFTP ini file to the proper XML format, so I know it can be done automatically. And yes, the 30 minutes was a time savings, with the number of sites I had to set up.

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#6 - Windows Explorer style nav buttons over panes, like "back" and "up one level". With that, the ability to hide the ".." in the file list would be nice.

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#5 - In the interest of saving real estate, it would be nice to have the message log appear under the remote pane only, so that the vertical space above the local side can be greater. Maybe even make the message log so that you can show and hide by clicking on a tab in or around the remote pane.

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#4 - If you've ever used CuteFTP Pro, you know what I mean by this: have the file system tree as a drop-down rather than a seperate pane on the local side. Gives more real estate to the file list.

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#3 - Rather than having the last connected site available by clicking on the 'R' button, it would be cool if you listed the last server as item at the top of connection manager drop-down, maybe with a line dividing the last connection from the sites. By the way, I really like how you can get to the sites by navigating the drop-down, as opposed to having to open the manager itself. Nicely done!

would be nice if there was some option to "move" (like download and delete from source) file instead of default copy...

thanks, filezilla rules ;)

Can you add possibility that FileZilla show percent of downloaded/uploaded stuff in title, so it can be seen when minimized? (or tray icon, that will show percent?)

Thanks and keep up good work!!

While downloading several thousand small (few KB) files, I turned on 4 simultaneous connections to speed it up. When downloading such small files, the speed is held back by waiting for the server to start sending each file, so by running many at once, the overall transfer speed stays more constant.

I had to pause the download, so I unpressed the Process Queue toolbar button. Then when I resumed it, I got some failed transfers. Files were created with the right names, but with 0 bytes, and they were removed from the queue. As a result, I'm going to have to start the transfer all over again to be sure I get all of the files. :/

I was going to report a bug, but there is a problem: With multiple connections, you can't tell which commands and responses are on which connection, so you can't figure out which transfers failed! I have included an example at the bottom.

As you can see, it's impossible to tell which commands and responses are for which connections, so you can't tell which ones are failing and which are succeeding. A simple change to something like:

[1] Command: [1] Response: [2] Command: [4] Response: [2] Response: [4] Command: [3] Response:

Would show which commands and responses are for which connections. They could also be color-coded. Also, you could use a drop-down box to choose which connections' logs you wanted to see in the log pane.

If this is implemented, maybe we can track down this bug that caused the zero-byte files.

Thanks.

It would be nice if the queue byte remaining count went down as each file was downloaded. For example, if you have two 10 MB files in the queue, and the first file is 50% downloaded, the queue should show 15 MB remaining. As it is now, it will show 20 MB remaining until the first file is completely downloaded. With large files this can be very misleading, and a bit annoying. :)

When uploading using the "overwrite if newer" option it is hard to tell when a file is skipped. If there was a mention of the skipping in either the console or queue or both it would be great.

File Transfer Settings

In the option of multiple connections add a check box "for the same server".

Ex: when downloading from 2 diferent servers and a setting of 2 max connections per server i can download 4 files at same time. if the server it´s diferent filezilla will use the max number of connections again.

And make a diference between Uploads and Downloads.. ;) .

I hope you understand :( my english is not very good.

It would be great if rsync was built into FileZilla such that local and remote machines can be synchronized and mirrored to.

​http://rsync.samba.org/

Would it be possible to use the proxy settings that are set through the Control Panel? i.e. the setting in Control Panel >> Internet Options >> Connections >> LAN Settings

doubleclicking the label "Local Site" should bring up a browse window to locate a folder quicker, as the normal treeview/address is too small, especially because of the vertical layout and the remote view. also, "Desktop" should be one of the options

It would be cool that filezilla accept data on HTTP protocol. (download and resume)

Be nice to have hotkeys to change the directory of the remote window and the local window (Ctrl+D, Ctrl+E or something like that).

Aaron aheck@…

I would like to see on the fly threads changing. For example, i can pick how many threads should be opened for download/upload on the fly instead of going to settings. Something like LeechFTP would be nice :) keep up the good work

HI,

it seams that filezilla do not support kerberos 5 or gssapi for connection to an SSH2 SFTP server. Is it planned to be implemented ?

thanks

hi, first off would like to say excellent work on this great program, so far it is the only ftp client i have used that doesnt constantly crash. The miles of code in this are impressive!

I do have a few small requests i'd like to add for maybe future versions (tried to find the code to fix myself and failed...newbie c++ user)

1. Have an option that lets you choose double click on

file action (ie: transfer, execute, or view file)

2. Option to switch/position Transfer, Dir, and Status

window placement (ie: status at bottom, files/dirs at top, qeue in the middle etc)

3. On successful connection auto fill-in the quick

connect with current server values (maybe only if quick connect fields are empty)

4. Have the list on the left in the options dialog full

length and place the buttons at the bottom, in horizontal position, relative to right frame (this is just personal preference and not important)

5. Transfer and connection settings should all be per

connection

6. Tooltips on the toolbar buttons?, in case statusbar is

hidden...

7. Scheduled uploads and downloads would be a great

addition! :)

Again i say thankyou for the time you have put into this and for providing it to us for free, this is potentialy the best ftp client i have used yet

The way it is now, when I add a tree (folder) to the queue, it explodes the tree (reads all files and folders, and adds them all individually to the tree) the moment it's dropped in the queue.

Could you please make the queue store just the folder, and explode it only when I press the 'Process the queue' button?

This way I wouldn't have to wait for it to scan thru the folders on the remote ftp site when I add a folder to the download queue, for example (on the local machine this isn't much of a problem, since scanning folders locally is a lot faster).

Thank you and keep up the great work!

1. using multipart transfer, we can divide one file into

several part, transfer each part individualy and simultaneously, then merge then into one file.

2. using multi-proxy transfer, we can transfer several

files or several part of one file at the same time with a server that has session limited per IP. For example, we have a server X allow only 1 session for one IP, and we have 4 proxy a, b, c, d. We can transfer file1 from X directly, and transfer file2 simultaneously through a, transfer file3 through b, and so on. Or transfer part1 of a file from X directly, part2 of that file through a, and so on. This can break the session limition of the server, especially with speed limition per session. Of course, some strategy may be included, e.g. how many session per IP is allowed for the server, which proxy can be used as one of multi-proxy, distribute one transfer task to as many proxy as possible first or to one proxy as possible as server support first.

The log-reports are often needed for documentations. Developers of webprojects and webmasters like me use these to protocol their work to clients and to have a chronical overview. At the moment I have to divide manually the long reports into client referenced parts. Therefore I have to search, copy and paste a lot. My requests are:

1. Is it possible to implement a divider at the top of every

login? Could be a simple lign with signs like "*".

2. The best way would be the choice in the program

settings

1. to divide logs into separate files with an filename

appendix, for example the actual date

1. or to append logs in a large file, like it is, but with

dividers.

Thank you for your great work!

The ability to force the case on files being transferred in either direction to be either all lower or all upper case, or left alone.

Extremely useful when dealing with files generated by others that are in all sorts of weird cases, that shoule be one way or the other.

Thanks

I think an FTP URL Fetcher would be in it's place, "feeling" if you copy a FTP URL into the copyboard, it will bring up a questionbox saying "Connect to url blabla? yes/no"

Can FileZilla have an option to pause a several second when message like "Too many user in this server" receive? It is because when I process the queue, FilleZilla repeatly send the login request to the server (10 times per second!!!) when this message appear. Some FTP sites will block my IP to login again if I try to login too many in a few second. However, this feature is present if I connect the site by site manager!!!! (strange) But I cannot always sit front of the PC and wait the site manager to connect the server and press down the button to process the queue.

The second request it that the file in the queue can clear by press some button? I find it the queue is present when I execute Fillzilla again. I know this is the feature to remenber the queue file. But how about I no longer need to transfer such file any more? It seems need to selected the queue files and right click to remove the queue files. If there is a few files, it is not a problem. How about several hundreds files? I need to selected all file for a few second and press too many page down button......and no select all function for me to delete the hold queue..... also can me to delete the file from the specific host in the queue?

Please add file/direction description field on remote site view. Read the #index.txt or 00index.txt format description...

I think in the 'Download Status' (the bottom of filezilla), an option of 'only show file name and 'show file name with directories' is very useful. Becoz when I download a file with long folder name, I need to expend the width for a long while to see the file name. Thanks a lot.

a little function to indicate the allowed size on the server (quota). The actual size of files and the maximum size. it's great when we upload big file, and we have no more place !

I'm sitemanager at a site where we publish articles and rewiews twice a week. My problem is, I have to stay up until 24:00 when a new article / rewiew is to be published. Is there any chanse to add a feature where I can schedule a transfer of the queue? If so, I could add the files neccesary to the queue and select a date / day / time for processing the queue. Also, I suggest that this feature takes care of connection / disconnection when the selected time occurs. An example:

at 24:00, the program connects to the server, process the queue and then disconnect. If any problems occur, a warning message including the errors pops up. When I wake up, I will see if the transfer was successfully - and if not, I will know what the problem was.

This would help me a lot!

Regards, Vidar Fagerjord, siteadmin.

FileZilla = AWESOME! This is by far the best freebie FTP client out there!

As a new user, the toolbar buttons seem a little less than ideally situated. Plus, the mouseover description only shows in the status bar (at the bottom of the screen), so it's hard to notice down there.

For starters, I would love to see ToolTip style help text, where it would "popup", ala microsoft. Another possibility may be to show the help text to the right of the buttons (there's plenty of room). Yet another option may be to place the buttons at the bottom of the screen (like WSFTP), where they're closer to the status bar...

I'd also love to see them rearranged (or rearrangeable by the end user). My preferred order would be to move the "view options" (show local, show remote, show queue, show messages) to the end of the bar, just before help, so that the connection-related options were all together. Then move the disconnect/reconnect options to the beginning, just after the site-manager button. Here's my complete preferred order:

Site manager Disconnect Reconnect --------- Refresh Process Cancel --------- Local treeview Remote treeview (and use an 'R', rather than an 'F') Queue Message Log --------- Help

Dear Admin,

Please make this option: Transfer>File overwrite settings>If same file and size then skip

Regards novan_as ​http://novan.singcat.com

Hi,

In the case of there's files already existing on target directory in the transfer queue, but not at first position in the queue, and FileZilla Client is minimized in the systray :

When the file which already exist is pick in the queue, the dialog box (overwrite, resume, etc.) isn't show and "stay in the systray".

It's only when restoring FileZilla to a window that we see this dialog box.

So it could be a long time before launch the transfer.

Is it possible to always show these dialog box even when FileZilla is minimized ?

Thanks a lot, Fabien

I used to use Bullet Proof FTP. In BPFTP, all FTP actions are queued, even things like renaming and deleting files. This can be very handy when working with large numbers of files.

It would be nice if FileZilla could do this also. For example, I could queue deletion of one file, then go to another directory, queue deletion of another file, then queue a couple of uploads, queue a file to be renamed, and then click Process Queue and wait while it does all of those actions at once. It saves time if you already know what you're going to do, because you don't have to wait for each action to complete before you select the next one.

Keep up the great work!

I would like to see the ability to cut, copy, and paste files between both, local and remote directories.

Accordingly, cut/copy/paste icons should appear in the toolbar and in the right-click (drop-down) menu.

If this feature is ever implemented, then FileZilla would become, for my uses, a replacement for Windows Explorer.

The ability to import all of my account settings from WSFTP to Filezilla would make the transition a whold lot easier.

Thanks again for great software!

I would like to have an option to NOT hide the passwords in sitemanager. I know this is a security risk and of course the default should be hidden, but in my case my accounts are not that super classified. By showing passwords in the sitemanager I will have a "personal database" (or address book if you like) of my ftp- accounts, and if I need to use another program or in any other way use an account outside of FileZilla, I can always look to FileZilla for the correct account-information. Otherwise I would have to look for the account-information in mails, hardcopies from ISPs, ICQ messages - u name it.

It would be cool if there was download graph with five lines, 1) current download spead (kb/second), 2&3) download progess current file (percent and Mb), 4&5) total download for the Que (percent and Mb).

Like a polygraph, the pens draw the line from right, and the history(paper) scrolls left.

Admitedly trivial utility, but it would be cool!

Hi!

It wold be good, if I could drag&dropp URL -s from other programs (eg. internet explorer) into queue.

It wold be good, if URL could be pasted from clipboard to queue.

It wold be good, if fileorder in queue could be changed.

Regards:

Foltos

A command that synchronizes a local with a remote folder would be neat. Time zone settings would be needed for this in order to properly compare timestamps.

See request 542700 for time zone settings.

Hi !

Well, I often use the new (and now in french too) "Minimize to tray" function. It's nice and usefull.

But I also use more than 1 FileZilla at the same time.

At the moment for exemple, I've 2 FilZilla on upload and 4 which are downloading.

They are all in the systray but it's hard to find the right FileZilla when I want to maximize one.

So the idea is : Is it possible to have a custom InfoTip instead of "FileZilla" ?

Something like (may be with parameters in the settings) "FileZilla: ftp.foo.aa - 120Mb"

In this case, it's the name of the server and the Queue to download, but we can imagine many usefull info to show, like if the transfert is active or not, the speed, the name of the current file, how many files to transfer...

It could be interesting for the server too (number of users, transfert speed...)

Do you like ? Bye

Hi, i would like to see the percentage of an active transfer in the system tray and some 'mouseover',"What's this ?" or "TollTipText" quickhelp for the toolbar ( whatever you call it ).

Funny how SourceForge pickes exactly the right category :-)

nice FTP-Client so far !

Hi.

First off, your work really kicks ass =) It's a great replacement for WS_FTP, CuteFTP and all that other commercial crap. But i miss one feature though: When i have some ftp address in the windows clipboard, CuteFTP for instance parses this information and automatically connects to the server. Or the browser integration thing would also be a great feature. Then it would REALLY replace the commercial crap.. =)

Good luck..

This patch lets users do various actions after queue completion. It is accessed by right-clicking on the "Queued files" frame and implements the following functionality from RFE# 1707774:

• Close FileZilla
• Run program/command
• Disconnect from server
• Shutdown system (win only)
• Reboot system (win only)

This initial version is not properly tested on various systems, and should not be applied before more bug testing. It's posted here to get feedback on patch quality, and if I'm on the right track with this.

More information will be posted on the already mentioned RFE.

• FileZilla version: 2.2.17
• FTP Server (SYST command): OS/400 is the remote

operating system. The TCP/IP version is "V5R3M0"

The contents of the working directory is listed correctly after logging in:

Status: Retrieving directory listing... Command: PWD Response: 257 "QGPL" is current library. Command: TYPE A Response: 200 Representation type is ASCII nonprint. Command: PORT 10,10,21,33,5,33 Response: 200 PORT subcommand request successful. Command: LIST Response: 125 List started. Response: 250 List completed. Status: Directory listing successful

Note that the AS400 FTP server uses the name "library" instead of directory, and "file" + "member" for PC files (I'm not an AS400 developer => please correct me if I'm wrong).

But I get the following error when trying to change to another directory:

Command: CWD /DMFIN/ Response: 550-Specified directory does not exist or cannot be accessed. Response: 550 Working directory not changed. Error: Could not retrieve directory listing

I tried with the command-line ftp client provided with Windows XP, and the following commands work:

ftp> cd DMFIN 250 "DMFIN" is current library. ftp> ls 200 PORT subcommand request successful. 125 List started.

The problem seems to come from the fact that FileZilla doesn't issue the CWD DMFIN command as expected, but CWD /DMFIN/: it adds the forward slashes and that seems to be the cause of the problem!

The option "Interface Settings > Miscellaneous > Sort folders first in Sitemanager" does not work with sub-folders. I have attached an example FileZilla.xml settings file to illustrate this.

To replicate:

1/. Set setting "Interface Settings > Miscellaneous > Sort folders first in Sitemanager" to true. 2/. Open Site Manager. 3/. Add a folder to the root called "1". 4/. Add a folder to folder "1" called "2". 5/. Create 2 new sites in folder "1" called "1" and "3". 6/. Save and close site manager. 7/. Re-open site manager and site "1" will appear above folder "2".

The current versions of FileZilla and the FileZilla Server Interface have some colour issues. I recently changed my computer's colour scheme to be mainly white-on-black. Unfortunately it seems some of the text has been hardcoded to black, so I can't see any of it!

Is it possible to have it use the Windows theme-colours, or provide a customization option somewhere?

On machines with drive mappings from a server on a "not-so-quick" network (200kB/s), FileZilla starts having huge performance issues. The following symptoms I noticed:

• very slow start times when multiple large drives are

mapped (I'm talking about minutes)

• slow browsing over the mapped drives. 1-4 directory

entries per second, where the windows explorer manages a least a hundred times that.

Open MS Office documents cannot be transfered if still open by Office. A transfer seams totake place but the filesize and date is represented by ??? and an Overwrite dialogbox apears trying to overwrite the file that does not yet exist. after closing the document the transfer goes well.

I suggest a test to see if the file is locked and if so, alert via a dialogbox that the document must be closed, and after pressing OK the test runs anew and if it is still open alert that transfer could not be done due to locked file.
