Custom Query (2163 matches)

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.

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.

file exists action - add overwrite if source file larger option

this would be very helpful to replace partial files with complete ones

thanks much for a great product

Please add a column so that you can see what the average transfer rate of a file was (and have it add it to any logging that is being done) on the completed and failed tabs. This would be a great help when trying to determine if you have a BW problem.

I want to right click on the three (by default) transfer queue tabs to open the context menu for this tab. If I right click a tab which is in the background, it should switch to the foreground before the context menu opens.

Is this possible?

The two icons "file name filter" and "directory comparison" in the icon bar behave different. This may be confusing to new users. The "file name filter" is enabled/disabled with the right mouse button and configured with the left button. The "directory comparison" is enabled/disabled with the left mouse button and configured with the right button.

Possible solution: Use an icon with a separate drop-down arrow. Left clicking the icon enables/disables the function. Left clicking the arrow calls the configuration. Right clicking does nothing.

Why is the function "file name filters" in the menu "View", but "force showing hidden files" is in the menu "Server"? The commands do very similar things - if you look at it from the users point of view. Ordinary users do not care if the second function is processed on the server and the first on the client.

I think both items should be in the "View" menu side by side for usability reasons.

it would be great if filezilla would have the two file-transfer-options "transfer as" and "queue as" like flashFXP. that´s the only reason i have to use flashFXP in some cases. this would allow user to rename files before downloading

FTPClient is a great multi-platform program! It functions where others fail. I use it extensively on Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD!

I find that FileZilla client lacks only one important feature. When using TLS it does not support "client authentication". In principle this comprises (at least for the client) only the sending of a client certificate to the server and nothing more.

Could this feature be added? You will make my day!

xml file of sites is aved and imported, all entries are being added again for each import instead of being override if identical. on client 3.2.5 (latest)

It will be good to show the status of the download/upload process on the taskbar, instead of just showing FileZilla label, so it's possible to check the progress without the need to restore the window.

It would be very nice to have the ability in FileZilla Client to view, (maybe) manage, and export public keys and certificates sent from secure servers.

In the "Remote Site" address bar, it would be handy to include an auto-complete feature so that when you begin typing an address, it suggests similar addresses, much like Mozilla Firefox's URL auto-completer. Would be extra handy if it kept a history of all paths for all time or did something similar to command line when you begin typing a path and press tab to auto-complete.

I use FileZilla on a day to day basis for my server administration needs. I prefer this software but on occasion I have to use other clients, such as lftp, to download some very files (normally backups) using multiple connections.

In particular I have a server where I'm not able to download faster than 150 KB/sec. In order to retrieve large files from this server I end up either a) ftp'ing it to another server first where our ISP has better peering or b) I use lftp and pget.

Thanks much, Jerret

When I delete a file with FileZilla 3.2.6 I have this message :

"Really delete x files?"

I would like to have a message when I delete a limited amount of files (ex < 10 ), such as this :

"Really delete 'file1.txt', 'file4', 'folder2'?"

When I'm working on a production server I want to be sure not to delete the wrong file (or worst : the wrong folder).

The visual hint (file selected in list) is not enough when I have to go fast and in terms of usability isn't the best way because the message box can cover the selected files.

When transferring files to FTP servers running on platforms such as Microsoft Windows files are overwritten without warning when they have the same name but differing case.

For example, when uploading a file HelloWorld.txt and then immediately uploading a second file named helloworld.txt the first file is silently overwritten by the second.

At a minimum, a checkbox in the Site Manager to tell FileZilla that the server is case-insensitive would be nice. Perhaps some sort of server case-sensitivity detection could be implemented, for example, using the response from the SYST command.

Filezilla client only uses the old passive mode when passive mode is requested for connection. The newer "extended passive mode" (EPSV RFC 2428) should be the prefered connection method, because it can better deal with NAT on the server side.

90% of my FTP traffic is to one site, and 70% is to three. I imagine that this is true for a large number of users. I would like to see the ability to define a small number (I'd be happy with two, overjoyed with 5) buttons on the same line as the Site Manager, the Message log Toggle, and others that would behave similarly to a set of "radio buttons" to select predefined sites (or bookmarks within a site) in the site manager.

Using: FileZilla Client 3.2.6.1 (also happened with 3.2.6, and at least one other unknown previous version) Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (running as default admin-level user with UAC enabled)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install FileZilla with default settings except select "Only for me".
2. Try to uninstall FileZilla from the start menu entry.

Actual results: Nothing is uninstalled and the uninstaller asks you to reboot, nothing is removed after the reboot either.

Expected results: FileZilla is removed.

Workaround: Right-click uninstall.exe and select "Run as administrator".

When I download files with the same name but different cases (e.g. Readme.txt and readme.txt) from different remote directories to the same local directory you end up with two files in the local side of the client.

As you know in windows file names are not case sensitive so there should only be one file.

I would welcome the ability of queues in the list of the queued files to collapse/expand with a plus/minus sign. (Very much like folder usually do in many applications.)

When editing a lot of files sequentially, the list of currently-edited files becomes quite long (and as such, the scrollbars become tiny and impossible to grab).

The textarea showing the list of files is only three rows high; it seems to be an omission in the UI design. Suggestion: could the dialog be made resizable (and remember its sizing once resized?)

The dialog is also modal - does it need to be?

Using FZ to upload from Vista Business PC to Win Svr 2008 Enterprise, IIS FTP server. Remote side closed connection due to user id exceeding disk quota. FZ kept on sending (?) and would not accept the cancel operation request. Once it "completed" the transfer control was returned to user.

I'm using FileZilla v3.2.6.1

It would be nice, in addition to the "Watch Locally Edited Files for Modification And Prompt..." to have an "Upload Automatically" option. This would be a life saver for tedious 'remote' edits and testing.

Side note: i'm a longtime FileZilla fan, used on PC forever, after switching over to OS-X from Windows, I had a brief affair with CuteFTP, but then came back when the OS-X port of FileZilla became available.

When uploading from a client that supports a : in the filename, the FileZilla will accept the file for download, but will store anything after the : as an alternate data stream.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a feature.

It might be good to include a configuration toggle to disable this behaviour (i.e. send an invalid filename message to the sender) by default, as I found it very surprising.

Test case:

From a BSD, Mac or Linux box, create a file named "a:b". Upload the file. The server will show a 0 byte file named a, with an alternate data stream b with all of the content.

from time to time I need to transfer an ascii file between Windows and Linux "as is" and the fastest way would be if I could right click on the file name and in the options panel select "transfer as" and then be able to select whether or not I want FZ to convert anything.

Nat earthshaking, but it would be helpful

When I edit a file remotely, it stores the file locally in /tmp/fz3temp-<num> (on Linux), and C:\Documents and Settings\<home directory>\Local Settings\Temp\fz3temp-1 (on Windows). This is fine normally. I use Vim to edit files and I re-open the local copies up with each file up in a tab. It's just kind of a pain in the rear to drill down the long directory path, on windows more so than Linux. My request is to do the following: In Edit->Settings->File Editing, please add an input box/browse button to select/enter a directory path for the default local file edit storage path (or whatever you call it).

Thanks for a great program.

Using FileZilla 3.2.7-rc1 each time the search dialog is closed the following lines appear in the message log: Status: Retrieving directory listing... Status: Directory listing successful

Furthermore, in case the connection has been closed because of a timeout FileZilla reconnects to the server.

Maybe FileZilla wants to refresh the remote directory listing after closing the search dialog (for the case something new has been discovered while searching). However, I don't understand why this should trigger a reconnect.

Under Windows there are two competing behaviours for the wheel -- scroll the focused control, and scroll the control under the cursor.

Microsoft's official stance is now the latter, in line with OS X and Linux: ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb545459.aspx#wheel although this is probably only effective starting with Vista.

Outlook 2003 also follows this behaviour, where Microsoft evidently realised its necessity in a multi-pane view!

This behaviour is becoming increasingly common in Windows, especially when you use it for open source, and supporting apps include FlashFXP, Firefox, Thunderbird, Outlook, Internet Explorer 8 (with framesets; don't have IE 7 to hand). FileZilla really feels like the odd one out here now!

I've tried using Tordex Wheel which introduces this behaviour systemwide but even on a P4 2.8 it has significant issues especially with Firefox, and I'd much rather that FileZilla simply work as it's supposed to instead of screwing with the OS and causing problems :-) (If Tordex Wheel actually worked properly then, sure, but the level of interference involved makes it inherently flawed. It won't even work properly at all unless you raise its CPU priority.)

Any chance of this being implemented now?

Cheers

Sometimes I have 1000+ downloads/uploads going on at the same time. The newest transfers go to the bottom of the list, and because of the creation of the status bar, it is difficult to right-click on the items at the bottom of the list (they keep getting moved below the screen). And though it would be nice to fix this issue, I imagine it would be difficult to fix. Thus, I thought it would be nice if you could right-click the local or remote files you have selected and the "Upload" option (assuming local for language sake) in the menu could include another option "Upload at Priority" or something with a dropdown menu where you could specify the priority of the uploads/downloads. Thus, I'm not trying to find the files after they have been loaded to the que to set the priority but am setting the priority the moment they are added to the que.

Short version: Ability to set the priority of an transfer when adding to the que by right-click on the item(s) selected and specifying the transfer priority.

Justification: Many file upload operations are a single file which you want to quickly share on the internet. loading the file and then manually retrieving the full URL to the file you just uploaded is a major pain.

It would be great to have two features:

Option 1: When you upload a file, the http URL to that file is loaded into the paste buffer so you can immediately paste for your peeps in forum, IM etc. The form of the URL (​ftp://mysite.com/myfile.pdf or ​http://mysite/myfile.pdf) could be configured in FZ options. Would be nice to have a popup reminding you that the full URL has been copied to the clipboard.

Option 2: Add menu options when file is right mouse clicked in FileZilla Remote Site pane - allows you to pick one of several options for copying the path (​ftp://mysite.com/myfile.pdf or ​http://mysite/myfile.pdf ). This one is very much like the old Ninotech Path Copy program for Windows. Can be downloaded here: ​http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13986.html

In order to allow use of the ftp software in a multi-user and/or multi-site environment, it would be great if the software would store the site manager inside a database (MySql or MS SQL).

While uploading a file, the file which is being overwritten is done so in real-time rather than waiting until the transfer has finished. In other words, if it takes you 60 seconds to upload the new file, the old file is unusable for a period of 60 seconds. This is a major problem if the file you are overwriting, for example, is a server script which is accessed hundreds or thousands of times per minute. Of course, it's an even bigger problem if the connection is interrupted mid-transfer.

From the client end, I suggest a feature which allows uploading filename.ext as filename.ext.uploading (or something), then deleting the original file and renaming the new copy once the transfer is complete. This should be more seamless than the existing practice.

Of course, this should ideally be handled on the server side automatically, but I'm requesting this for the client because I am actually not using a FileZilla server on our (Linux) machines. It would be awesome if such a feature were implemented in both your client and server.

Thanks for taking my request into consideration, and thanks for a great piece of software!

Filezilla Client does not have built-in trusted CA, so that it always prompts me that the certificate is wrong when I use ftpes to connect to my server with trusted CA's certificate from IPSCA.(We request the ceritificate from IPSCA; therefore, the server's certificate is not self-signed.)

I have tried the FireFTP in Firefox's Add-On, and it could recognize the certificate well without warning message.

The picture below is the FireFTP's warning message, when it connects to a self-signed ftp.

After uploading local file that has been opened for edit through FileZilla, automatically refresh the details in the local display so that Directory Comparison does not show a difference. Steps:

1. Using: Directory Comparison 'ON', Synchronised Browsing 'ON'.

2. Open local file for edit.

3. Make changes, Save.

4. FileZilla asks if you wish to upload; Upload file.

What happens:

1. Uploaded file on server shows new Last Modified datestamp (ie now).

2. Local file maintains Last Modified datestamp from before file was opened for editing view not refreshed).

3. File in remote pane is highlighted green as newer.

Wish:

1. File in local pane is refreshed with current details.

2. Files in both panes are unhighlighted since they are the same.

It would be great if when FileZilla is minimised to the system tray it could give some visual feedback when an edited file has been changed, like when you return to FZ after editing a file, there is a pop up asking whether you want to upload your file.

Perhaps it could flash, or change colour, or a balloon pops up?

I deal with many FTP sites, some which has faster connections than others. With dealing with a ADSL connection with low out bound speed, it would be nice to be able to configure the upload and download speed with the site configuration rather than the client settings.

I would like to request that when files are selected to change their permissions, and the dialog box appears, that the numeric permissions be highlighted already so I may just enter the number and enter instead of having to highlight them then type the new number. This would save a step which adds up if you are doing a lot.

Thanks! Great program!

A number of times I have aimed to select "Process Queue" on the context menu and have accidentally click the "stop and remove all" option instead. This is quite a pain when I have a large number of files queued and have to go through adding them all again.

Basically a simple "are you sure?" message would save me in this situation.

Overview: When synchronize browsing is enable and if a directory is missing on remote or local system, currently the system show an alert message something like "Stop synchronize browsing and continue with the remote/local directory?" and action for ok or cancel

Suggested Feature There could be another helpful action to offer here. which is download /upload to complete synchronize?

If remote directory is missing then it will be upload and for local directory missing it will be download to offer.

Simple, shortcut keys like CTRL + 1, CTRL + 2 to access a favorite

Add a dropdown option to duplicate a file. This is good for create backup files, when I need to clone a file I need to copy and paste and rename in the explorer on a local directory. If this options exists I just need to clone and rename in ftp.

Add the ability to filter files by their modification date. Ex: only show local files that have been modified within the last two hours.

Because you can't create a single ticket for both FileZilla client and server, I have created a duplicate one for each.

Both FileZilla client & server can't handle long path names. They are programmed to use the MAX_PATH constant when dealing with files, which only allows a full path/filename of up to 260 characters. This is only a limitation of FAT32 and doesn't exist on NTFS. This results in errors making it impossible to transfer files whose path names are too long.

For NTFS, there are ways of working around this limitation, allowing for path names of 32,768 characters (specified by GetVolumeInformation (lpMaximumComponentLength)). Utilizing UNC (unicode) filenames allows you to get around this.

For reference, see this MSDN page:

​http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/naming_a_file.asp

There is also a discussion on this forum page:

​http://forum.sysinternals.com/printer_friendly_posts.asp?TID=5676

The FileZilla client (3.2.7.1) window is too tall and the titlebar and toolbar get cut off behind the menu bar the first time the program is launched on a MacBook (1280x800) with a reasonably sized dock (roughly 60 pixels tall).

Steps to reproduce:

• Launch FileZilla on a MacBook for the first time.

Or

• Remove ~/.filezilla and launch FileZilla.

Workarounds:

• Select Zoom from the Window menu, then resize the window down from there.

Fix:

• Reduce the default height of the window when a preferences file is not found.

There is a shortcut of a directory on server, filezilla can resolve it and enter the correct directory at first time. Then server updates the shortcut pointing to another directory, firezilla client enters the old directory still.

Refesh (F5) it, still wrong directory.

To integrate FileZilla more nicely into the OS I recommend using native OS APIs for the progress bars in the queue. Additionally, an overall progress bar could be displayed in the new Windows 7 taskbar.

Hey, I like your FileZilla Client, but it is missing a good feature to have, it makes it easier. The feature suggestion is the benfit of entering the url of the FTP Connection, copy the url, view on web, etc. I have included a screenshot of a ftp program I use that does that.

"rssh" is a ssh-only shell that should work with any SFTP implementation... from the man page:

rssh is a restricted shell for providing limited access to a host via ssh(1), allowing a user whose shell is configured to rssh to use one or more of the command(s) scp(1), sftp(1) cvs(1), rdist(1), and rsync(1), and only those commands. It is intended primarily to work with OpenSSH (see ​http://www.openssh.com), but may work with other implementations.

When I connect to a linux host (Ubunutu HH 8.04 LTS x86-32) from a Mac OS X or Linux x32 client using Filezilla client, if the user I connect as has the shell set to "bash" - everything works properly.

If I connect to the same user again, having changed the shell to "rssh", it fails. See output below: (first is succssful, bash-shell connect, second is failed rssh-shell connect)

I have verified this on OS X and Linux x32 Filezilla client.

Thanks for a great product & stay free! :)

P.S. there is a misspelling as well: initialise should be "initialize" unless you are a Brit.... ;)

-Matt "the Yank"

I have several people who use FileZilla to connect to an SFTP site on a Core FTP Server on a Windows XP SP3 Dell computer. This is occurring on several different computers in several versions of FileZilla - definitely from 3.2 up and I believe at least one person has 3.1.x. The computers are all running Windows XP SP3 and are up to date on patches. The problem does not occur in older versions of Filezilla such as version 2.2.8d. When the file is downloaded, it has the correct date.

The incorrect dates on the folder start with 12/31/2009 and go through 12/15/1970. The correct dates for the folders begin with 10/21/2008 and go through 10/5/2009.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you.

The throughput rate and time left estimates are correct assuming the transfer limits have not been configured.

If they are configured during a transfer, the limit is applied properly to the live transfer without interruption (a very useful feature) but the time left and throughput rate are based on a running average including all previous data prior to the limit being set. All of that data is no longer applicable.

A simple solution would be to simply reset the time left estimate and throughput counters anytime the limits are set (or make that an option).

Another option is to separate throughput into "Throughput Overall" and "Throughput Now". For time left, it simply needs to be a best estimate given the current data throughput, so it simply should not take into consideration any transfer speed data prior to about 1 minute from "now".

I have been using FileZilla to transfer files on a gigabit network and have made a few observations.

• With concurrent transfers = 1, transferring large files (8GB+) I can saturate a gigabit link
• With concurrent transfers > 1, transferring large files due to disk IO on the remote FTP server and local box I get varying transfer rates in the 550-700MBp/sec
• With concurrent transfers = 1, transferring many (~2000) small files (< 500Kb) it takes a long time to transfer the files
• With concurrent transfers > 1, transferring many small files the time it takes to transfer the files goes down in proportion to the number of concurrent connections

I see similar results when uploading.

So I propose adding a feature to FileZilla that would try to optimize the number of connections per server during a file transfer.

One way to go about this might be to sort the queue by file size from large to small and then transfer the large files with one concurrent connection and then the small files with many concurrent connections.

This would be a relatively simple way to go about it. Just put in a conditional cap, "When transfering fileslarger than : xxx, use no more than yyy concurrent connections" and then let the normal concurrent connection cap logic work.

The other way to make this work might be to keep track of the overall transfer rate between the client and server and then vary the connection count and decide which is best. Additionally if the connection count is capped at the server side you should get a too many connections message which would set your uppper bound.

Think of it like an eye exam. "Add one connection?" "Is this better?" "No" or if connections > 1 "Remove one connection?" "No"

Evaluation could be done with every new or closed connection up to a maximum of 10 or a min of 1.

Ok so my use case would seem rather specific I admit it. But a feature like this may also be helpful when transferring trees of files on smaller links.

Sometimes it might make the most sense to transfer one file at a time even though you could transfer 3. Or... Sometimes it might make sense to transfer 3 at a time rather than one. Again the whole link saturation thing vs time to start new files.

What i mean is that when i am disconnected from the server after a time without using the connection i could expand directories just by clicking on the plus sign instead of having to locate the dir within the file list

Create a new startup option:

"Do not install as a service, start server manually"

which will skip the:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

entry to provide manually starting.

When I drag and drop a file from a server into a subfolder in the disk directly using the explorer windows, I receive an error related to the shell extension.

How to reinstall this shell extension because I reinstalled application several times for nothing.

Sorry for the english

First of all: My FileZilla setup ist german. My english is not the best.

After i woke my system from suspend to disk, the FileZilla Client starts to pop up the "File has changed" message for all ever opened files. I had to open the task manager and terminate the FileZilla task to stop that behaviour. Not any of the files has changed realy and i am not sure what the files would look like if i had choosen "upload new file to server".

Nachdem ich mein System aus dem Suspend to Disk Modus aufgeweckt hatte, began FileZilla Client für jede bisher geöffnete Datei diesen "Die Datei wurde geändert" Dialog anzuzeigen. Ich musste FileZilla über den Taskmanager beenden um das Verhalten abzustellen. Keine der Dateien wurde geändert und ich weiß nicht wie die Dateien nun aussehen würden, wenn ich "Geänderte Datei auf den Serevr übertragen" ausgewählt hätte.

I always use 'ask for action' for the 'file exists action' - but I would prefer if 'replace if newer' was the default for the 'ask' - as I sometimes click the direction to transfer wrongly. So - why not have the alternatives set up as a selection, and 'ask' as a tickbox? That way - if 'ask' is not set - the selected action will be taken regardless, and if 'ask' IS set - the selected action becomes the default action in the 'ask' box. To me - this seems to be a much more useful interface, with a minimal change in design.

Ability to add a column in the Transfer Queue area to show the Transfer mode selected when Auto is being used. Sometimes FZ gets confused and selects an incorrect mode. Thanks

This request is to add to the Successful Transfers tab the transfer times of each file, including:

start date and time end date and time duration

I am interested in seeing duration displayed, though start and end date/time are potentially more useful and can be used to calculate duration.

This will be helpful for logging transfer times when testing performance.

Thank you!

I work a lot with a ftp server that has a lot of files and subfolders in a folder. As it's a high traffic server, it needs some time to show the file list for that folder so I run almost every day into this following problem.

Filezilla is configured to do up to 3 uploads at the same time. Server has /files/ folder in the root. Folder /files/ has about 2000 folders and 1500 files in it..

I'm dragging four files from the local files list on the /files/ folder.

Three upload threads are started and each sends command to retrieve the directory listing of /files/

Server simply times out in about 10 seconds because it can't process the three directory listing at the same time, so two of the files are right away sent to Failed Transfers tab. The third thread manages to retrieve the directory listing, file is uploaded The fourth file thread upload thread is started and no longer retrieves the directory list so it stores the file right away. If I watch the Failed Transfers tab and click on "Reset queue..." right as the files appear there, the two failed files will be processed successfully.

The way I see it there's two problems about this...

1. Files shouldn't be send to "Failed transfers" because an actual transfer attempt was not done - the directory listing failed. There should be a reconnect attempt after a few seconds, an attempt to retrieve the directory listing again (or be smart enough to see another thread got the directory listing already) and then try to store the files.

(It would be worth investigating if there are other cases where files are sent directly to "Failed transfers" even though no transfer was actually attempted.)

2. Filezilla should be smart enough to see that if two or more threads try to get the same directory on the same server with the same user account and password, maybe it would be wise to use a mutex or something to force only one directory listing request.

Even nicer would be to have the queue system to have the directory listing as high priority and the four file uploads depending on this "directory listing job" being performed.

When creating a new tab, it would be useful if the new tab had its own message log and queue. Queue not so much, but it's impossible to read anything in the message log of one tab, if another tab is flooding it with transfer messages when a large transfer is in progress.

By mistake, I've imported twice the same xml file containing site profiles. Now my ftp sites appears twice on site manager. I suggest you, if possible, to show a warning if the xml file contains sites with the same name/data of existing profiles and ask what to do (overwrite, import with another name (i.e. adding "(2)" at the end, or do nothing), to avoid duplicated entries when importing site profiles.

I am now making a web page on php and the posibility of opening a page directly instead of having to write the URL by hand can be very helpful for testing it inmediately, note that i mean opening the full URL, not only the file like with show/edit option.

Please allow the FileZilla's temporary directory (C:\Temp\fz3temp-1) to be configurable. We work with confidential files and I would like these temporary files to be stored on an encrypted local disk.

I know these files are normally deleted at the end of a session, but there is a possibility the files could be left unencrypted if the program or computer crashed unexpectedly.

Also, I am not sure if the Temp files are wiped securely from c:\temp when they are deleted normally.

Thanks!

instead of having to go through all this in filezilla client : Edit Menu > parameters > Transfers section > update value of number of simultaneous transfers > Click OK I would love it if there was just a dropdown somewhere on the main interface to change the number of simultaneous transfers

today when I want to reoder the file transfers, I have to play with the file priorities. I would love it if instead of having priority, the queue list would just be a FIFO with also the ability to drag and drop one or several elements of the list higher or lower in the list hope I am clear...

At present, the only way to save edits in the Site Manager is to use the OK button. This also exits the SiteManager. Suppose you have much editing to do? (Precisely my situation as a new user transfering a list of sites from a different ftp program)

I lost approximately an hour of edits by inadvertently touching the Esc key while setting up a complicated folder tree with many sites. The only alternative to inadvertent data loss is very tedious. Namely, click OK after each trivial edit, then re-enter the editor, resetting the tab selection, among other things.

Please add a Save button to the Site Manager. Clicking the button would save the current state of the SiteManager file so that a subsequent Cancel (or the Esc key!) would not lose all of one's work.

Saving a file seems like an almost trivial feature to add.

Provide the ability to save/load named SiteManager profiles. (in addition to the standard profile in sitemanager.xml located in Windows at %appdata%\Filezilla)

This easy-to-implement facility would make it easy to resolve several usability issues:

(1) Security

The ability to save profiles on removable media, such as thumb drives, would make it possible to apply external security via an encryption mechanism. This proposal would be more flexible and also much easier to implement than ticket #4825.

(2) Portability

Some users work in several different environments. The ability to keep profiles stored on portable media would greatly enhance usability.

(3) Capsulization

The ability to save profiles under different names would allow creating profiles for dedicated purposes, and possibly store them in separate locations.

Implementation:

At program initiation, automatically load the standard site profile stored at %appdata%\Filezilla in the file sitemanager.xml.

Provide a "Load Profile" menu item (and toolbar icon), with a standard filedialog to select the file. File format should be the same as the standard site profile.

Filezilla must remember the file name and location of the "current profile" whether default or "loaded". A "save" of changes to the profile must cause the "current profile" to be written to the source location.

A "Save Profile As" button must be provided for saving profiles as named files. This should lead to a standard save filedialog, where the user provides the filename, but not the extension. The location should then be remembered as the new "current profile" location for purposes of subsequent saves.

Sometime the download session won't stop even the download percentage is up to 100% so that the size of the downloaded file is larger than the original one on the FTP server.

Platform: Windows XP on Interl Core2 Duo P8600 CPU

It would be helpful to add a dialog to control the minimum protocol version, and minimum authentication, encryption, and HMAC requirements (CipherSuites) for TLS connections. This would ensure compliance for users with strict compliance requirements.

can not set the path to the viewer, if it has space

I searched an already found issue #4416 on this issue. I understand that there would be additional overhead when doing this, but I would like the option to be able to guarantee the order of directory contents when adding to the queue.

I would suggest having this as an option that is not enabled by default - this way people like me who don't mind the overhead, perhaps because they don't queue deep directory structures often can choose to enable it. A warning could be added alongside the option if the overhead is particularly significant.

Using Filezilla Client 3.3.0.1

When I upload new files, Filezilla keeps giving me messages that the file already exists, but the pre-existing file is only a part of the original. I keep on having to click on "resume" to continue uploading.

I've used filezilla for over a year on this PC. Never had a problem before.

FileZilla has potential to be an excellent tool for queuing multiple local file copying operations. This would be beneficial since multiple simultaneous read/write operations are inefficient. FileZilla would simply need to access the local site as both source and destination (by using both the local site and the remote site panels). This functionality has been successfully mimicked by setting the host as ​ftp://127.0.0.1 (without having to set up any local FTP shares). However, the use of FTP in this process adds an unnecessary layer of processing that slows the transfer (when compared, in my case, to using Finder). For optimal speeds, FileZilla would need to implement an option to access the local filesystem directly for both local site and remote site.

Note: SFTP was also tested, but benchmarked significantly slower than FTP.

Allow crawling through compressed archives from within FileZilla, and then allow uploading of parts of the archive, as if the archive is an extension of the file system.

I have some files with names like %%A2^A20A20EED44%%news.inc.php (php smarty compiled template files), and I cannot add them to the queue by drag and drop. The file is just not added to the queue on drop. It can be added however through the context menu. Happens on both Win and Linux.

Hi,

In my environment, *.config default to VisualStudio. I want to be able to open in Notepad++

I add this association: config "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"

Now my file is filename.Config. Edit this file will open in VisualStudio.

Changing to: Config "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"

will solve but it is good to ignore case.

Hi there,

Why it is not possible to change Maximum Simultaneous Transfers bigger than 10 ? I have access to High Internet Speed and I want to upload 8000 small files (Joomla CMS)to my server but I should wait a lot. CuteFTP Allow us to use 200 Maximum Simultaneous Transfers ! But I love FileZilla. FileZilla is the best FTP Client for linux.

Best Regards

I have found it to be annoying that it asks me what I want to do when trying to connect to another server when I'm connected to a server already. I have no desire to use the "tab" feature and would like to always abort my current connection and connect to the new server. Consider this a request for a legacy option/behavior.

Since version 3.3, FileZilla Client offers a tabbed interface permitting to connect to multiple servers at the same time.

But with FileZilla Client 3.3.1, all commands and messages of ALL FTP servers are displayed interspersed inside the SAME message log pane, without any indication of the associated FTP server.

That makes the messages inside the log pane very difficult to interpret.

In order to improve that, I suggest to attach 1 dedicated message log pane to each server tab.

Thanks in advance.

When you type a path in the local site path that is incorrect a message is displayed that indicates it failed to change directory. This is fine and good. What is not is that after you click OK or hit 'enter' your cursor is moved from the end of the Local site path box to the beginning. This is annoying because it requires that you hit right arrow or click to the end of the box to re-enter the new path in the box. If it removed the incorrect path and left the cursor at the end of the box it would be perfect.

When I delete a file, the selection in the filelist will be removed. So after deleting a file I can't use the arrow-keys to move to the next file.

As far as I remember, in Version 2.xx of FileZilla, this worked fine. So when I deleted a file, then the next or the previous file in the list was automatically selected.

I hope this can be re-implemented in FileZilla 3.

It would be great to be able to click a button that saves the current local and remote directores as the default connection directories for the current saved site.

At the moment it is possible to set this up in the advanced tab of the site manager. However we work (we are a web agency) with hundreds of sites and it would be fantastic to be able to save these with a single click.

Thanks fothe great work

hi, it would be nice than when updating a folder with multiple files, filezilla would first upload any not already existing files , and then overwrite already existing files at the end. I got the feeling that filezilla, just update files in "order". Sorry if I'm mistaken. I think it should give priority to newly added files. By the way, when you overwrite a folder with an other, Win 7 does this: it copy without asking new files, and only at the end, ask if you want to overwrite already existing files.

cheers

The "Use the server's external IP address instead" option doesn't work as expected. Even if the option is set, Filezilla client uses the address returned in the PASV command instead of the server's external IP address.

Note for the developper : The bug is located at line 3837 in source file ftpcontrolsocket.cpp (Filezilla client 3.3.1) Replace the test else if (m_pEngine->GetOptions()->GetOptionVal(OPTION_PASVREPLYFALLBACKMODE) == 2)

with

else if (m_pEngine->GetOptions()->GetOptionVal(OPTION_PASVREPLYFALLBACKMODE) != 1)

It looks like the option can't have the value "2" so the test returns false everytime.

There is currently no way to view all the previously downloaded SSL certificates so that you can review the list / clear it if necessary to force an full SSL cert check again at the next connection directly in Filezilla. (If there is a way, I couldn't find it).

I did find the file: C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\FileZilla\trustedcerts.xml so it's nice to know I can clear them out myself. However, it would be nice to have the option in the filezilla client in the future.

You could offer a way to look at the saved/trusted SSL certs and allow us to view them and delete them. That would be useful for us.

thanks,

Pierre

There are occasions where I have files that are out of the norm - binary files w/o any extension for example. Consider adding a right-click option for upload/download to include upload_special/download_special. The "special" pick would allow a one-shot override of the ASCII / Binary / AUTO config setting.

Thanks for a great product!

The local list view pane for local files in a directory with many files (not sure exactly how many), or perhaps large files, is prohibitively slow on my Windows 7 machines. It brings Filezilla to a crawling halt.

when I am updating my web site, I will typically

0. connect
1. change local directory
2. change remote directory
3. upload files
4. edit some files with my editor
5. change local directory
6. change remote directory
7. upload files
8. goto step 4
9. disconnect when done.

the connection stops working. I no longer get directory listings. I haven't tried doing an upload to see if it works when this happens. it happens after about the 2nd set of files.

If in the application settings a proxy enabled, and the proxy password field is emtpy, then request for a password, when connect to a ftp server, that want use this proxy.
