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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
