I think it would be great to have an option in XP File Explorer to right click and send the selected file to any of the sites that are set up in filezilla.

Obviously it would have to just send it to the root/default folder that you have set in filezilla. But I know of lots of times where I am hunting stuff down in XP File Explorer and would love to just right click and hit FTP to -> "Pick Sitename".

Hope that explains the request. Also just for reference I did research quite a bit doing this on my own hacking my regedit or send to options and because of the internal list stored in Filezilla of the sites none of the things I found would work.

Thanks in advance. Also thank you for all your hard work on a great project. Filezilla is truly outstanding.

Whenever i delete a file on my production servers i want to make sure i havn't clicked on the wrong file.

Please add the file name / folder name in the confirm dialog of the element that will be deleted.

This is at the same time an improvement request and a bug. Right now, when you delete one directory, it is not possible to delete another until the first deletion is done.

It could be nice to be able to delete several directories at the same time from the directory tree window... And that the directory tree window does not follow the deletion during the time it occurs.

When using drag-and-drop to move files and folders inside filezilla (drag-and-drop being the only method i have found in FZ so far) i experience problems when there is a long list of files as i cannot seem to scroll up the list when dragging files, and hence cannot get the files to go into the directory i want. Also, sometimes you want to move files/folder into heavily nested folders and the drag and drop method is inefficient. It would be good to have the directory be editable in a properties window for selected files and folders, that way you can just type a new directory and they will be moved there.

I've been really disappointed to see, that filezilla 3.0.8.1 misses the feature to view/edit files on the local harddisk, while there is no connection to a ftp server. This feature already worked in filezilla 2 and I really miss it.

I would like to see shortcut to set the current directory (on the home or the remote) as the initial directory for that connection, after you have already connected.

Currently, you have to go back to the site settings find the appropriate text field, and type in the path manually.

I see there are a lot of requests for context menu items, so maybe this could be a button. Perhaps on the path bar?

Thanks. And thanks for such great software. I dumped my pirated SFTP proggie because you provided such a viable and legal alternative, that I can even run from a flash drive.

Add command line parameter that allows the site and folder.

Then in Windows at least the registry could be changed so that any link such as ​ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/desktop/aspire_e360/

on a web page or in an email would invoke Filezilla, open the site and position to the folder.

Hello,

It is possible to add the ability to preserve the datestamp of directories? (as for files, but for dirs while downloading them recursively)

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Gretz.

Enhance the "preserve timestamps of transfered files" feature, by adding an option to preserve in only 1 direction or the other.

For example, I'd like be able to download files preserving timestamps, but upload files with the current time.

This will be useful for uploading JSP files to a Tomcat server.

Under the "Transfer" menu... rename menu item:

"preserve timestamps of transfered files"

to:

"preserve timestamps of all transfered files"

add menu items:

"preserve timestamps of uploaded files only" "preserve timestamps of download files only"

Implement a "touch" command on the right-click of a file to set the current timestamp.

I'using KeePass, a password manager that sends logins and/or password to windows, looking for thei title.

So I don't store site passwords in FileZilla, but I define each parameter of the sites, and set the autentication method to "Ask for password".

It would be nice to have something like "Enter password for Name_of_the_site_as_specified_in_site_manager" instead of simply "Enter password" when I connect to a site.

This way KeePass would automatically recognize which password to use for every site.

Thanks again for your grreat work. The whole world appreciate it.

Hi,

it would be useful if there were a context menu entry "set as local directory" when clicking in the local site window. This would then set the "default local directory" that at the moment has to be set via site manager and "advanced" register tab.

In version 3.0.9.3 (and 3.0.x.x versions), some features included into 2.2.32 are no more implemented.

That features are all linked to download queue management:

• Reordering (up, down, last, bottom,...) list of file in the waiting downloading queue
• Add priority on file download

These features can be linked to the following other demand : ​http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1962034&group_id=21558&atid=372244

They implement it and extend the ordering command.

That is not a protocol mandatory feature, but that provide an end-user usefull feature mainly in case of multi-file download.

In my case, I can program the download of more than 30 files simultaneously (from the same site), sometime the download can't be achieved in one time (Server side failures). Then I have only some part of all files on my local disk.

Because the download queue management doesn't provide any options to drive the download file's order choice based on the yet downloaded size against the full file size evaluation (when possible), that features that provide to user the capability to 'manually' reordering the downloaded planned queue can be *very* usefull to be sure to have at least some of them quickly complet.

E.g. : I have 10 files with a size between 500 MB and 1.5 GB. The first one (1.5 GB) have 50% of its data downloaded, the third one (500 MB) have 10%. I need relaunch the download, but this time I want invert the order because the third one have only 450 MB of data that must be downloaded, against the 750 MB of the first one. If I have the same download speed for the both of them, then the third one (450 MB) can be downloaded quickess than the first one (750 MB).

there should be a setting, to seperate simultanios downloads by sites.

problem: DSL hat today 10 MBit and more. if i have to download files from severl servers, it should start for ech sit eone queue, if my bandwidth is not fully used. at the oment muc difficut, becase i have to play withpriority and mark single files and then restart queue.

When one want to include FTP support in a program without having to code a native FTP client in the program, it would be nice to be able to call a FileZilla dll to get the connection, file transfert, directory listing, and so on, using the Filezilla connection that the user have already defined using Filezilla instead of having to reinvente Fileilla inside the program.

This was initially posted on the forum by Guba.

Post subject: New feature request: automatic directory selection

Hello. I have just downloaded FZ and I have to say that is quite nice. I have a suggestion for a new feature, that is quite simple to develop and useful for all those use tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver. When I upload a file to a server I have to make myself sure that in the "remote files" panel must be selected the same correpondent directory where the file is destined to, or I will put the file in the wrong place. This is quite annoying because it can be necessary to edit files that are located in different directories, for several reasons. For instance it could be needed to edit a functions file, while a CSS together with the file that uses both. If I have three branches I have to seselct each time the different remote directory where I have to put each file, one at a time. With a "parallel directory" feature this couldn't be required, because each file belongs to a directory, both local and remote. This is a feature that is missing on the various FTP clients I have seen and used, and I think it is quite useful for professionals.

Hello, It seems that MODE Z compression option (available in filezilla 2.2.x) is not available in filezilla 3.x. The MODE Z seems supported in filezilla 3 as it is accepted when we enter MODE Z in custom command. Please can you add this option. Thanks by advance regards.

Filezilla already has some "after transfer" actions, but it would be nicer if it could provide an interface to existing notification frameworks where possible.

The Mac has the widely used Growl notification framework for telling the user that something has happened. ​http://growl.info/

On Windows, Snarl is a similar framework that provides the same capability. ​http://www.fullphat.net/

On Linux (Gnome) there is the Mumbles project. ​http://www.mumbles-project.org/

Filezilla should support all of these frameworks - perhaps by using an additional plugin download that interfaces to each framework on the appropriate platform.

Dear Tim and others,

Would it be possible to add the FileZilla 2 "Dowload as..." feature to FileZilla 3 as well?

Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work!

Best regards,

Bo

I would like a file progress bar when Filezilla is minimized on the Desktop.

Thanks,

Greg

Local folder view is currently synchronous...

The most obvious way to see this is to map a network drive and navigate to it in the left pane (local folder tree)

The whole interface is stuck while updating the view.

Can this be threaded or whatever to make it Asynchronous??

Cheers,

Gaspard

A convenient way to Add a Site from among the Site Manager's entries to the QuickConnect Bar, and thence to the QuickConnect History/Menu, would be nice to have.

An additional button at the bottom of the Site Entries tree, "Add to QC Bar", that would copy the selected Site's relevant fields to the QuickConnect Bar, would satisfy this nicely.

Meanwhile, selecting from the Site Manager's pull-down list works pretty well... ;-}

Thanks...

On the latest release (3.1.0.1) of FileZilla, when one right-clicks an item on the server panel and chooses the "View/Edit" option, an alert popups asking whether the user would like to continue editing the local file or download and overwrite the local file.

I would like to save my preference of these two options. For example, I would like a checkbox below the two options with the text "Save preference" so that I can always automatically choose to download the file again an overwrite the local file.

Thanks for such a great product!!

In the "Local site:" and "Remote site:" path textboxes, it would be very helpful to support the commonly used Ctrl-backspace combination to backspace an entire word, and Ctrl-shift-backspace to highlight an entire word.

Other clients I've used supported this and I find myself typing it a lot. It wouldn't be so bad if typing that combination didn't insert a strange extended character that is represented (on my system; Windows XP) as a hollow rectangle.

I would love to see a improvement to the queued file listing which is that instead of just having a flat list of files it would have the files in a collapsible tree view similar to the local/server browser panels. This would be really helpful in cases where we have say ten of folders queued with hundreds of files in them and we want to remove one or more of these folders(and files/folders contained within) from the queue. The other day I had to select all the 200+ files part of a single folder which I wanted to remove from the queue.With this view I would just select the topmost folder and delete that.

As a possible addition the folder row could show a progress bar for the average upload progress of the files/folder under it too.

Because I've tried to connnect to my ftp server using the wrong password, I now have three identical entries in my Quickconnect list, all with the same server/username, but different passwords. Hence only one which will work, and I have to remember which one.

Keep up the excellent work - lovely piece of software!

"Allow Open With as you do "Open"

I have Windows Vista Home Home Premium 64 bit. I have Windows Office 2003. I have FileZilla 3.1.1.1

When I right click on a file in Office 2003, I am offerd both "Open With" and "Open" in a windows file directly. When I right click on a file in the left directory list of FileZilla 3.1.1.1 I only am offerd "Open". "Open With" shold also be included in the drop down menu. That will allow me to open .html files with notepad. "Open With" would allow me to edit files directly from the file directory listed in FileZilla and would be a great time saver.

For editing files you can define a standard editor. I would like to have that for viewing files as well. Didn´t find something like that in the existing tickets.

Background:

When I select "open" in the context menu of a text file (txt, log, dat, js, ...) on the local side always the Windows recommended/standard application is used to open this file even if there is a different application assigned in the Windows explorer file type options (Notepad2 in most cases).

Example: *.log

If you look that type up in Tools/Folder Options/File Types of the Windows explorer, you will find that the type shall be opened using Notepad2 which works on double clicks in the windows explorer. If you click on "Change", you probably see that the Windows Notepad is selected as default editor. This one is then used by FileZilla for some reason. But I want FileZilla to use Notepad2 as well (which is also defined as standard editor for editing files in my environment).

Other file types like *.js or *.html or *.bat could also require a different handler - especially html files shall not be opened in a browser but in a text editor when I try to open it from FileZilla - mostly I do not want to view but edit them before uploading it again, for instance to remove a typo.

If my writing not clear enough, please come back to me ;)

Best regards, Kristian

Just a suggestion but it might be advisable to widen the central bar between client side and server side folders on the filezilla client - to make it more obvious that the two sides are seperate and thus make it more user friendly to new users

I would like an option to place the message log window at the bottom of the filezilla window.

Hi,

I know about this bug very long time and I have still hoped that this bug will be fixed in new a release but I have mistaken. :)

So where is the problem ? I will write how reproduce the bug.

Create direcory e.g. test/ and in this direcory create directory .svn/ (or file .svn), turn on "Directory listing filters" and create filter which will filter .svn direcory(or file) and try upload this direcory. Filezilla doesn't upload this directory.

It works with any number of filtered items. But if directory contain some or only one unfiltered dir or file, then the directory will be uploaded.

It affects downloading as well and when You try delete that directory with filtered dir or files on FTP!, Filezilla doesn't delete that folder.

Save to Sites from teh Quick Connect Menu should open up the sites Dialog with the information populated from the quick connect.

Like WINSCP, when connected to a SFTP site, a menu item should have an option to launch putty. It would be great if that could log you in but I'm fine with it connecting and prompting for your password. This would eliminate to the need to manage sites on putty and filezilla.

In 3.1.3 client I can no longer establish a connection with a Unisys Libra host. This used to work on 3.0.9.2. The issue seems to be that the format of the reponse to a PWD command appears no longer to be accepted. The response will be something like

257 "(MOUNTFORD) ON ERSTE" is the current working directory.

A Filezilla trace shows Trace: ControlSocket.cpp(356): Failed to parse returned path. caller=0p17025c0

and the connection is broken. Trace of an attempt to connect to a host 'ucscahu' shown below.

15:38:15 Status: Resolving address of ucscahu 15:38:15 Status: Connecting to 192.39.46.230:21... 15:38:15 Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::OnReceive() 15:38:25 Response: 220 FTP Services for ClearPath MCP: Server version 52.189.8008 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::SendNextCommand() 15:38:25 Command: USER mountford 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::OnReceive() 15:38:25 Response: 331 UserName received; please send the PassWord. 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::SendNextCommand() 15:38:25 Command: PASS * 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::OnReceive() 15:38:25 Response: 230 User MOUNTFORD logged in; you may proceed. 15:38:25 Status: Connected 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ResetOperation(0) 15:38:25 Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(0) 15:38:25 Status: Retrieving directory listing... 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::SendNextCommand() 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ChangeDirSend() 15:38:25 Command: PWD 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::OnReceive() 15:38:25 Response: 257 "(MOUNTFORD) ON ERSTE" is the current working directory. 15:38:25 Trace: ControlSocket.cpp(356): Failed to parse returned path. caller=0p17025c0 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ResetOperation(2) 15:38:25 Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(2) 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ParseSubcommandResult(2) 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ListSubcommandResult() 15:38:25 Trace: state = 1 15:38:25 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ResetOperation(2) 15:38:25 Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(2) 15:38:25 Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click a file, and click "View / Edit".
2. Open the menu File -> Show files currently being edited...
3. Click on the file we had selected for editing before, and click "Upload and unedit".

Note that the file remains in the status "Uploading..." and is never removed from the list. If I close the dialog and attempt to re-open it, FileZilla tells me there are no files to edit.

It should instead remove the file from the list, and, if I shouldn't have the dialog open when there are no more files to edit, it should pop the same alert as when I tried to open the dialog when no files were being edited.

I set this to low priority because FileZilla does not crash, and it's hard, if not impossible, to actually crash it through this bug. I also set it to Windows, but it may apply to other operating systems as well.

We can 'Swap local and remote panes'. The directions of the arrows in the icons of 'Download', 'Upload' and 'Add files to queue' items in the pop-up menu match unswapped original panes. It will be better if arrows with reversed directions are used when the panes are swapped. The default orientations of the arrows cause counter-intuition when the panes are swapped.

There could be possibility to delete one item from history, not only clear the whole history.

This could be done e.g. from menu, which would open with right mouse button. Now also right mouse button opens FTP/SFTP connection.

Whenever I send small files (less than 6 kb, maybe more) to the AS400 server, they will have zero file size (ie. empty). There is no difference between binary and text files.

This happens on several AS400 hosts of the same type.

I access them using a Juniper VPN client. ("Windows Secure Application Manager")

See filezilla log file for details.

I have been trying to upload a gigantic directory of 98,000 pdf files, about 150gb worth. I don't expect filezilla to play nice with queues of this size. However I am in the process of double checking that all the files made it and when I select a chunk of about 10,000 files and then choose "overwrite if file sizes are different" it seems to error out everytime. It starts to run through the queue then after a few seconds it errors out with the Microsoft send a bug report message. When I try the same chunk of files and I choose "skip" files that are the same it runs ok.

I am using 3.1.5 I am using FTP.

When catching up, restaring a big tree of files. the most obvious action for "default file exists action" in the settings dialog would be, "Resume if smaller, warn if larger, skip if same size". That option doesn't exist, and it really should. When set to "Resume", it Resumes ALL files that already exist, even though 99 of them are complete and the same size. Filezilla client says REST (restart) and then RETR (retrieve) looking for the 350,000,000th byte of a file of 350,000,000 bytes long. The FTP server sends back "0 bytes" (the rest of the file). Success. Next file. Oh, it exists too... same. You could die of old age before it gets back to work on transfering a 4GB tree of 50,000 small files. So you are forced to choose "Skip" and then manually figure out which 100 files came up short due to all those internet interuptions.

Using latest Filezilla Client 3.1.5 and latest Serv-U Server 7.2. Advocate for XCRC and XMD5 commands too.

I would like Filezilla to have an option to upload files to a temporary name on the server, and rename the files when done. For example:

1. Upload file 1234.dat to server, calling the file 1234.dat.tmp on the server
2. When the file transfer is complete, and if the transfer was binary, check that the size of the file 1234.dat.tmp on the server is correct
3. If the the size is correct, rename the file on the server from 1234.dat.tmp to 1234.dat

Then you know the file on the server is done. This way, it would be much easier to know:

1. if any files are not completely successfully uploaded (error detection),
2. which files are not complete, or are currently uploading (error correction), and
3. which files are complete, so they can be processed further as required

There's a bunch of cases where functionality like this would be really useful, so this would at least be a great option. I think perhaps it could be a good default behaviour as well.

Assume a user is uploading 1234.dat to an FTP server, and is concerned that the file will make it across.

A really useful option for the integrity conscious out there would be for filezilla to calculate the md5sum of a file being uploaded (virtually free, since the entire file is being read anyway), and when the file transfer is complete, upload a file called 1234.dat.md5 (or perhaps md5/1234.dat) that contains the md5sum of the original file, so that it can be verified on the server side.

TCP handles integrity to some extent, but it is not the most robust method. Bugs in an FTP server could also be detected like this, and memory/disk errors on the FTP server.

Borrowing a design concept from Mozilla Firefox, it is kindly requested to implement an optional method to clear private data upon exiting the application.

Perhaps introducing a page under Settings could facilitate this feature. The behavior of this page would allow the user to select any or all of the private data categories (Clear quickconnect history, Clear reconnect information, Clear Site Manager entries, Clear transfer queue) to clear automatically when closing the application.

Regards.

I would like to see a setup so as to store paticular configurations for overwriting files and other things for paticular folder names.

I am constantly working with the same 12 or so folders, the root folder never changes, some of them have a change about once a month, and some of them there are changes made every day. I would love to have a confirmation notice when it comes to folders in the updated infrequently folders, but i want it supressed in the folders that I am always going into.

I think it would be a good feature if FileZilla could read the folder name and apply special permissions if it matches a name in a configuration file.

When the destination file already exist, and we click on "Cancel" on the dialog window, the transfer is not done,

but the transfer is added in Successfull transfers list This is not correct.

FileZilla 3.1.5.1

It would be very very beneficial if an option is provided, that simply renames the existing file with a timestamp.

e.g. When I upload a file named index.php to a server and if the FileZilla finds index.php already existing on the server it should rename the existing version to index<timestamp>.php and copy the new one from local source. This would be a great versioning feature and will help many programmers.

To recreate:

1. Click the arrow in either "local site" or "remote site" boxes.
2. Press up/down to select a previous path from your history.
3. Using only the keyboard (i.e. don't click in the box) type a different path, or press right add a subfolder to the path.

If you press Enter here the path will just disappear from the box, rather than opening the path you've typed in the box.

On the "Check for updates" window, I would like to see an option (checkbox) to automatically delete the installation file after the update is complete.

Currently, the user is asked where to download the update file. After the update is complete, the .EXE file is left in the download directory and must be manually deleted by the user.

Hi again FzP,

I loved WS_FTP's history feature.. If I logged back in tomorrow or in three months it still shows the last 25-30 directories that I went to all on a site profile basis. So I didn't have to remember or retype any of those long or hard to recall deep down directories - it was great and my only (well, main) :) disappointment with FZ...

It also has 'sound' notification when a D/L is finished - nice if you're D/Ling larger files and are away from the computer..

If possible, can that (they) be added..

Thanks much, Nick. . .

I would like to suggest alternating background color for file list rows. On very wide monitors (16:9) it is quite hard to visually follow line from filename to attributes.

Thank you.

Hello! My name is Pablo Massa, I am a graphic designer/web developer, I have 24 years, live in Montevideo-Uruguay and use FileZilla.

I send you a screenshot with a feature suggestion, it was fun to emulate the interface of Filezilla. ​http://www.crepesweb.com/no-robots/otros/feature-filezilla.png Feature Suggestion (online too)

Sincerely, Pablo.

Is there any reason why disconnects should reset the elapsed time?

It would make sense for a user-initiated disconnect to reset the timer, but server timeouts / auto-reconnects should not reset the timer. This resetting basically makes the elapsed time stat useless, especially for transferring large files.

Maybe this should also be a feature request to have this as a changeable option for the user?

No shortcut key to open files. The option is there but shortcut key is not there. So i have to click on the file, then right click and click on Open to open a file.

For eg. in CuteFTP you select a file and then by pressing Control + E it opens the file with the associated application. Same functionality is required in FileZilla also with other related shortcut keys and their functions.

FileZilla version is 3.1.6, build date 12/2/08

After logging in to a VM system and displaying a file directory, the detail list of files in the remote system's directory is incomplete.

It appears that the names of native files (EBCDIC) don't display. Names of ASCII text files do display.

No filters are in use (none are set up).

We know that this is a FileZilla problem, not a permissions or other issue, because we can view all of the files using a commercial product called WS_FTP which is similar to FileZilla. Our intent is to use FileZilla to perform binary downloads of data files from the mainframe to our network.

The FTP connection is accomplished through a Cisco VPN. ZoneAlarm firewall is running on our client Windows 2000 PC (ZoneAlarm is required by the host).

I use FZ mostly for authenticated SFTP connections, only occasionally for plain FTP connections and almost never for *anonymous* FTP.

So whenever I add a new entry to the Site Manager (which I do quite frequently), I have to change the default "Servertype" from FTP to something else (two clicks), the "Logontype" from "Anonymous" to "Normal" (two more clicks), and the User from "anonymous" to my username (which is the same on most servers I log into).

One great enhancement would be if the "Anonymous" option simply disappeared from the Logontype choices when SFTP is chosen for the Servertype. It really makes no sense when using the SFTP protocol, right?

But the feature I'd really love to see would be a "New Site Defaults" section in Settings (or even some kind of special "default site" in the site manager from which new sites would inherit their default attributes) to allow users to preset their most commonly used values for new sites.

For those of us who use their S/FTP client all day long, this would be a great time saver, instead of having to repeat the tedious chore of un-setting the same old default options, that you never use, every time.

One last, simple yet incredibly helpful, feature (from FTP Voyager) when adding sites to the Site Manager is to have the initial host value be a copy of the connection name by default. So as you type the new site name (in the left tree view), you are also populating the host field (on the right).

Why? Think about it: When you press the "New Site" button, you must immediately type the name of the new site. Many people (ME! and, admit it: you too!) simply use the host name (or a short form of it) for the site name. So routinely creating, saving, and connecting to a new site would then be as simple as pressing New Site, typing its host name and pressing enter (if my defaults RFE above were implemented).

Obviously I am a keyboard guy. I have a hot-key setup in windows that launches FZ. In case you haven't detected the pattern here, I also just voted on the RFE to add a Settings/Interface option that causes the Site Manager to open upon FZ startup.

CTRL-ALT-F Alt-N hostname.com <enter><enter>

That would be great.

The ability to throttle speed in accordance to the time. Does not require a "planning" ability, but merely recognition of time and the corresponding speed associated with that time. Should probably have a setting for each half hour double example shown below. e.g. 1 50kb/s 2 50kb/s 3 50kb/s 4 50kb/s .. 23 500kb/s 24(h) 500kb/s

time = 23:33 therefore max speed allowance = 500kb/s

Such a simple, crucial, yet absent feature.

In the folder browser there is the entry "Desktop". When I select it FileZilla switches to its real location (e.g. C:\Programs\Documents and Setting\Username\Desktop). Like in other programs I'd like to have this changed so that the folder browser doesn't get expanded until the real location, because in my opinion the actual behavior is unhandy.

This bug report is (in some way) based on tickets submitted before, e.g.: #1345, #2929, #3742, #3746

If I get these and especialy the responses to them right, the additional code to limit a function which would otherwise just work as expected (i.e. offline editing with a configurable editor) is there, because the "edit" function is only implemented for "automatic transfer". But this in turn isn't automatic (and thus broken to quite some users) as has been reported and confirmed several times, e.g.: #1406, #2765, #2899, #2914, #2992

Furthermore altering "open" (and "double click on files") to make it an alternative to "edit" is refused because Filezilla shall not be a file management tool.

On top of that the non-automatic "automatic upload" meanwhile can be disabled as it's behaviour did irritate several users who instead decided not to make use of it at all. Thus we now have an "edit" function for something which doesn't (fully) work in practice and an "open" function which is useless to most of us.

But if Filezille must not be a file management tool then why is Filezilla insisting on displaying a listing of local files at all? It's even not possible to turn that off.

Either proper file management should be implemented/allowed, or the fractional (or should I say bugged?) file lisitng thingy should be removed completely. Because in the current form it is confusing at best an leads to data corruption or even data loss at worst. Additionally this step would release space on the screen (which could be used by a proper file management tool instead).

Or in short: Filezilla should concentrate on it's job: FTP. It should leave the task of file management to the programs which are good at this "e.g. Explorer, Konqueror, Nautilus or Finder" (codesquid in response to Ticket #2929).

(Filezilla V3.2.0)

As I understand it most FTPS connections do no encrypt the data channel. It would be helpful if the client displayed a partially locked icon when only the command channel is encrypted and the data channel is not.

Ideally, the encryption details would also specify whether or not the command and data channels are encrypted in all cases.

A per-site preference as to whether an encrypted data channel is required would also be helpful.

Within the Advanced tab of each Site Profile, provide an option to select a named "filter set". This should appear exactly like the Filter Set dropdown within the filter dialog, but should apply to a site immediately when switching to that site profile.

It becomes necessary for those of us that manage a lot of FTP sites to manually select different Filter Sets when switching to specific sites each time anyway, this would ensure that the correct filter set was applied automatically without having to remember to do so each time.

Standard Windows file listing options allow you to view a pane of file listings in one of the following formats: View: Large Icons, Small Icons, List or Details. The default in Filezilla appears to be "Details", which is not optimal for my personal usage habits. I prefer "List" view. My directories have lots of files and I only need to be able to see file names and nothing else. Normally in Windows, a "View: List" will result in multiple wrapping columns instead of a single column, and where you can then view dozens and dozens of file names in a single pane without scrolling. Makes it easy to locate and select specific/multiple files by name in a single glance.

In windows you can connect to multiple servers at the same time by running multiple instances/windows of filezilla, it is not possible to do this on a Mac.

With this option checked by default,

• Copying C:\NTLDR fails because it's copied as ASCII
• Copying /bin/ls fails
• Backing up a CMS that encrypts the filenames of attached files (=>with no extension) fails

ASCII convertion is file modification. Files without extension are of unknown type. Modifying files of unknown type is really something that shouldn't be default behavior.

I'm reporting this bug after having ~2000 corrupted files because of it. And I discovered that the files were corrupted after a week, so even my backup is corrupted. ASCII convertion for binary files corrupts them irreversibly, please don't do it by default.

This is an idea developed in the forums (before i found out about you using trac, so my apologies for cross-posting): ​http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4721&p=37693#p37693

From the link:

My idea would be to integrate default options parsing (now in COptions::LoadGlobalDefaultOptions) into COptions::CreateSettingsXmlElement (and probably rename it) so that default values are not determined by the source but by fzdefaults first. For this to work the options array needs to loose the const qualifier, unfortunatly. The idea here is that t_option.defaultValue gets set from fzdefaults.xml and iff there's no value in fzdefaults.xml then the hardwired defaults take over.

This will probably obsolete the default_options array and associated functions.

Some thought needs to go into saving this options to the configs. Basically i would propose not to create xml nodes for settings set via fzdefaults.xml or just not copy default settings into users setting at all (seems a bit drastic and probably involves more code changes). This way GetXmlValue() calls for values set in fzdefaults will result in a error if the user runs a stock configuration and the default values set in the options array will take over.

I can see concerns about how this will affect expected use of user defined options. But as outlined, the precedence will be like: "filezilla.xml" => "fzdefaults.xml" => "code defaults" so that from a user perspective his config still trumps the admin config.

Maybe there could be a new option to control whether global options take precedence over user options, with it defaulting to "no" to achieve the previous behaviour. But this change is (probably too) invasive.

Benefit: corp admins will love this (i'm in a need to get this behaviour)

If it's needed, i can probably come up with a patch to make this work.

Apologies if the report is not that clear on how i would implement this, but the basic request is: make *all* config options stack like this in order of precedence: filezilla.xml, fzdefaults.xml, code

When i download files from my web host to my computer to syncronise and if in between i plan to stop or skip one file which is been downloaded due to heavy file size or other reasons (by clicking on "Remove Selected" in "Queued Files" then file stop and filezilla move to next file to download, but it does not delete the old and incomplete file.

Remove Selected command should stop and DELETE the file been downloaded.

When making a new connection from a list of previous connections it would be cool if fields Host, Username, Password and Port would populate with data of that previous connection

It would be nice if the quick connect menu would update when you connected to a server in it.

So if I had a @ b.x c @ d.x e @ f.x

and connected to c @ d.x the list should update to be c @ d.x a @ b.x e @ f.x

otherwise frequently used FTP servers can still be pushed off of quick connect over time when you connect to other servers.

This behaviour would be similar to that of several other FTP clients, such as FlashFXP.

This could be an optional behaviour.

FireFTP is great piece of software but sometimes i can't finish all downloads from one or more servers so it would be nice to have the feature of finishing all active transfers for all or only one specified server and keep the rest in the queue (but inactive until next activation) This would help avoiding transfers that can't be finished in a session.

Thank you very much for this great software!

shortly doubleclick actions have been expanded with "view/edit".

filezilla2 had the option to chose "open". this used the default program, set in file options in windows. my windows file settings made a .htm file open in notepad.

this way i was able to:

• doubleclick to edit the file
• hit return to upload it

this was so easy

Im having an issue with Timeout's in SFTP (and have been since 3.0)

Basicly if the server connection expires/timeout's filezilla dosent know. so if i ls it works, then ls in over a minite it dosent. see log:

Status: Directory listing successful one min later... Status: Retrieving directory listing... Command: ls Error: Network error: Software caused connection abort Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

I can get around this by going to "Server->Cancel current operation", "Server->Disconnect", "Server->Connect" then retrying my command :)

This is a bit of a hassle though, so if could be fixed in a later release that would be great!

Thanks,

Complistic.

I know there are probably lots of other features requested but this feature would make FZ stand out more.

The goal is to keep a folder on a server and the folder on my client machine in sync, in so far as to download new content that shows up. I want the client machine running FZ to 'regularly' poll the server and compare the files on the server with those of the local machine. (The polling time ideally can be set in local preferences.)

When a new file is added FZ should start downloading. The mechanism for detecting what is new could be to compare the folders contents by filename, size and possibly creation date.

While this is a feature MOST people won't need there is probably a smaller group who can really use this and it would make FileZilla outshine the other clients.

Thanks for considering this.

First, thanks to all the contributors of Filezilla for this great and easy-to use tool.

I have one feature suggestion. Filezilla offers different options to handle the case when a target file already exists. Probably the most commonly used one is to skip the transmission of files if source and target have the same date and/or size. In the recent version, the FTP log pane at the top of the screen shows for each file whether it was downloaded or skipped.

It would be advantageous to display this information also in the "Successful transfers" tab of the bottom pane.

Suggestion how to realize:

• add a column named "Status"
• for each file, display the status; at least "Downloaded" or "Skipped"; or, if data available, even more options e.g. "Overwritten", "New", "Skipped"

Thank you very much in advance for considering this feature request.

It's hard to explain this feature request in the summary line above. Basically, I think there should be an option in the control panel that will let a user upload files depending on filesize or even filetype for that matter.

Here is an example:

Let's say that you are uploading a big file (over 100mb). You have already begun that upload and you have now decided to upload some images, where each have a filesize less or equal to 1mb. Although you only allow 1 upload at a time, these images should be able to upload at the same time due to the small filesize (or filetype).

I figure in the options, there can be something that says:

Enable Force Upload: _ Force Upload if size less than: _ Mb Force Upload if file of type: jpg/png/mp3

Hopefully this suggestion might be considered.

Thanks again for FileZilla :p

When I develop websites, I usually separate CSS, Javascript and (X)HTML/PHP into different files, located in different folders. Some of the included PHP source files are outside the wwwroot for improved security.

Typical situation (simplified): wwwroot/index.php wwwroot/js/site.js wwwroot/js/other.js wwwroot/css/site.js

some/other/path/includes/functions.php some/other/path/includes/template.php

Very frequently, I'm editing both the .js, .css and maybe the template.php files at the same time - as they are very related to each other. I would make some changes in several of the files mentioned and then upload them to the server, checking the results in a browser, make some adjustments (to several files) and uploading again.

Since the files are not in the same directory, I have to change directory two or three times every time I need to upload the files. The relatively new feature of synchronized browsing took away half of the work, since I only need to change directory on the local machine and the client automatically changes the remote.

I've tried bookmarks, they helped a little, but what I really would like to see is this:

A function that works just like the transfer queue (when you drag files onto it rather than dragging then to the remote site) - the files are queued, but not yet transfered. All the queued files are transferred (from several folders, into their respective remote folder) when you press the "Send queue"-button. But when this is done, they are removed from the transfer queue.

It would work if you add a button that simply "resend last queue". An even better thing would be the possibility of adding several "macro"-buttons with pre-configured files to send. For example; you could make a "Send the index.php, main.js and main.css"-button and ad this button to the toolbar or the bookmark menu.

Thanks for reading through my ticket.

Regards, Erik

If i add x files and leave the priority on normal, then add some files and change the priority to highest and stop and restart the processing of the queue, the highest rated files start fist... as expected. If i now add again some files and change their priority to high, they get first downloaded after the next file with higest priority is finished. version: 3.2.3-rc1

I noticed this while I was trying to fix my problem with bug #4346 ​http://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/4346.

I know this is a bug because if I remember right, this was working a couple of versions back.

What happens is (or rather what not happens), when you override the "Default file exists action" on the root of the list (the one with the ftp user/server name) and open it again, it will select again the "use default action" even though you have selected otherwise (for example "Skip").

I hope this get fixed because it gets confusing when your doing a lot of file uploads.

FileZilla Client Site Import causes duplication for any sites that already exist in FileZilla when the Import is done. To me this is a bug but I can understand why it could be considered normal behavior.

I suggest a user option: over-write same-name sites (y/N)? Sites must be in the same folder and have the same name. Imported info would over-write existing info if option is selected. This could either be a setup option or an option on the Import screen.

Please add the possibility to delete source file(s) after successfull transfer.

Hi. I have an increasing number of sites. I use filezilla on a daily basis and always have to look for the last site that I connected to. This would be very handy as it would remind me the last sites that I was connected to and It would make them easily accessible for reconnection.

thanks

I love the new feature of putting the message log as a tab along with the transfer tabs, however I think the message log tab should be selected by default when there are no active or queued transfers. At the least, I think it should be able to be active when you open the program. Perhaps if you could re-arrange the tabs, you could accomplish the message log being first when you start up.

This is a usability feature request. I'm trying to do a quick connect to a sftp server and it errors out because its a sftp server. Quick Connect should use its protocol detection to make life easier for people! If sftp is detected it should automatically try and connect via SFTP. Easy is good! Thats my only argument.

This is the message i get if i try and quick connect to a sftp server: Error: Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server. Please select proper protocol. Error: Critical error Error: Could not connect to server

As the summary says it would be great to have a field with autosuggest (prompting the data you got in the site manager) right before the host field. I personally have 100+ websites added to the site manager and I had to split them in directories, but this slow me down each time I need to connect to a different one. I would rather type some of the text of their title and have the fields filled up with an hit of enter key. I think it would increase the usability by a lot.

To repeat:

1. Ensure the local directory tree is visible
2. Enter a UNC path into the "local site" text box
3. Press Tab

This gives focus to the local directory control, which changes the local site back to the selected item in the tree clearing the UNC path. This is annoying for both keyboard navigation and for changing to a subfolder of the UNC path.

Ideally, the local directory tree should include the "Network" folder that appears in explorer and the UNC path you entered should appear within it so you can use this control to navigate to subfolders.

If this isn't feasible, merely giving this control focus without changing the selected item shouldn't change the "local site" folder.

In addition to Shutdown or Reboot system upon queue completion, could you please add Hibernate? My laptop is old and slow and I hate leaving it running all night but I also hate waiting for it to boot, so I would like it to Hibernate when my transfers are done.

when moving a folder the client transfers the contents of the folder in reversed order.. I have, with no luck, searched the settings trying to figure out if I had some way of fixing it, but sadly not..

I consider this to be a bug, since any normal client would take the files in the folder by alphabet.

I am uploading files with double click. Double click action for directories is "Enter directory" (which is natural), so if I want to upload directory, I must right click on it and choose Upload (or drag-drop it). It will be handy to be able to middle click on it, to upload it.

Hi,

I wanted to request a feature which the Macintosh has in its folder setup. You click and drag an object onto a folder (i.e. an image from your server to your desktop onto the folder titled "Pictures"), and if you hold that object over the folder for a specific amount of time (maybe a setting for the timer?), it will automatically open the folder, so you can drop the image there, or drop it into a sub-folder.

Small usability / consistency issue:

'File permissions...' context option opens a dialog that is labelled 'Change file attributes' - it would be better for usability if these were named consistently.

I would love to have the ability to FTP from one remote server to another remote server bypassing my local machine.

This is a feature request. I searched but could not find this request.

During an upload (or download?), mostly on quick 1 file uploads), you are allowed to navigate the local file tree. When the upload is completed, the selected directory is updated on the ftp server side, but the local side does not update and remains. causing you to have to selected a different directory, then going to the one you wanted.

I am not sure if this is a synchronized issue, or a file-zilla bug, because the remote side does update correctly.

Windows XP Professional SP2

Hi,

Filezilla is overall the best FTP client I used, but one feature is a bit awkward to use: the way the priority of the files in the queue is handled.

Using a separate attribute for priority is confusing. It's not always obvious which files are going to be processed first. For example, when you add files to the queue, they can get a higher priority than the ones already there, and the current download won't finish until the new added files are completed.

It's also cumbersome to chose a given priority, and then try to visually check if you got it right.

A much much better way to handle priority is that the first file on the queue is always processed first, and to add menu commands to move items up, down, top and bottom. It's simple, WISIWIG, and you just can't be wrong.

Thanks in advance for looking into it.

Scenario 1

I had a long queue running, went to bed, checked the machine in the morning.

All files bar two had been successful.

A dialogue box offering an upgrade to 3.2.4 was on top of FileZilla.

I had only had half my first cup of tea for the day, so was a bit slow on uptake and decided I liked the offer of an automatic update, so clicked to carry on with the update.

When FileZilla returned, of course, the queues were all cleared, including the FAILED FILE queue.

Scenario 2

I had a long queue running, went to bed, checked the machine in the morning.

A power failure or crash occurs.

When FileZilla is reloaded, of course, the queues are all cleared.

Unhappy Result

I don't know which files failed to be downloaded.

Pain

I shall now have to hunt down the missing files, and as there is no recursive directory comparison, this will take some time. Alternatively, I could requeue all the files (about 2,000 in many hundreds of directories) and select on-exists=skip-if-same-size.

Possible Solution

PREFERABLE would be for the queues to have been saved as they were processed and restored upon loading FileZilla.

Hi folks, 1st of all, nice to meet you all, and congratulations for the amazing tool.

I'd like to leave a suggestion to have in the menu FILE the latest opened files. It would list the last 10 or more files (configurable in the settings). So, if I click on it on the menu FILE, it sends me to the file/folder in the REMOTE SITE (SERVER).

Thanks in advance and keep the amazing work.

The new Filezilla client does not list symbolic link that are on the sftp server.I am using surge fpt as server. I have a symbolic link in my home dir that is called sftp_data and i cannot see that link with the latest client and with a old client i can see it.

The only dir that i see with latest client is .ssh

If for some reason there's a problem transferring a file (for example drive full or connection timeout to server) it's moved to the "Failed transfers" tab. However, when I select the files and click "Reset and re queue files" or whatever is named, the files are moved back to the queue but they don't begin to resume.

For example, if Filezilla is configured to use three download threads and I transfer three files and one file transfer fails, the other two threads continue to download.

If I click "Reset and reque..", file gets moved back to the queue but Filezilla doesn't resume the file. If I want it to be resumed, I actually have to click on Process queue to stop all, and click Process queue again to have it resume. Or, I could just delete from the queue a file above the requeued and Filezilla will pop up the Resume dialogue.

When I choose Reset and requeue I think it's safe to assume I already solved the problem for which the transfer failed in the first place, so it should attempt to resume automatically if a download thread is available.

Perhaps it should even be placed in queue above other files currently transferred and should be resumed as soon as a download thread is available, because if there's some temporary problem (several server resets for example) there would be many partial files filling user's drive.

I'd like to request a Pause/Resume function as in FileZilla 2

Is it possible to implement a rightclick => pause/resume function, both for individual files and for queues?

Shutting down dows not always work. it is frought with problems. it frequently fails on my machine because certain programs crash during shutdown.

something that *always* seems to work is hibernation (except on compaq laptops where function keys "quickkeys" are broken, there a shutdown is fine). it is also preferable in some cases.

There are a lot of times when I will have a multi-gigabyte upload in process over several days or overnight, and I want the machine to hibernate itself after the queue is done.

I don't like shutting the machine down. I have a lot of apps I like to keep running and files I like to keep open (as a developer and a multitasker).

different things for different situations. Hibernation also applies to Linux, if Filezilla ever is available for linux (or mac?).

If you use the online update function, it should use the global proxy settings. atm there is no way using it when sitting behind a proxy. Perhaps there sould be an option [in the update dialoge or in the global settings] to setup the behavior.

regards Michael

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Accerciser (​http://live.gnome.org/Accerciser) and Filezilla.

2. In Accerciser (please see attached screenshot)

1. In the list of accessibles on the left, highlight the filezilla application

2. In the notebook on the right, choose Event Monitor.

3. In the Event Monitor, select the Selected application radio button.

4. Press the Select All button to check all event types.

3. Give focus a file selection list and arrow up and down.

Expected results: Some* event would be issued each time the selection changes to inform assistive technologies of this fact.

Actual results: No events whatsoever seem to be issued when the selection changes. As a result, *nix users who are blind cannot use Filezilla.

• Ideally the event would be object:state-changed:selected and/or object:state-changed:focused. Please see ​http://library.gnome.org/devel/atk/unstable/AtkObject.html#AtkObject-state-change.

I'm using Filezilla version 3.2.4 from ​http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Unofficial_Binaries. Note that I started building the latest from trunk using the instructions for OpenSolaris on your wiki, but I was not successful. However, in looking at the list of changes on your wiki, I came across: ​http://filezilla.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/filezilla?view=rev&revision=3159. Therefore on a Ubuntu Jaunty box, I got the latest "Successful" nightly snapshot (2009-05-21). I'm still not seeing any accessibility events when the selection changes. :-( If I'm missing something, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks in advance for looking at this issue!

Hi,

Like a lot of us, I am using 2 differents ADSL lines, from 2 differents company. I would love to be able to manually choose to which I send files by filezilla (as I don't own a dual wan router).

This enhencement would be a first in the field and would bring filezilla to the upper level.
