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.... ;)

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

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.

It would be nice if there was a way to see the Total Time that a transfer took to complete (or fail for that matter). Would like to see a Total Time column in both the Succesful Transfers window and the Failed Transfers window. That way, for large files, you can check back after they have completed and see how long it took.

Thanks

Currently using v3.3.1 on Windows XP Pro

Hi

Seems the process queue is not preserved incase of a outage or windows blue screen.

seems to work if click close and say OK to the confirm box where it pauses queue and disconnects from server

so when you enter filezilla you can right click and say process queue again and it resumes from where left off

Im using the latest client

When FileZilla Client 3.3.1 deletes a remote directory, it disables the folder comparison feature but doesn't re-enable it afterwards.

When this feature needs to be disabled, Filezilla should remember the status of this feature and re-set it after completing the task.

It would be helpful to be able to set a SMPT server for E-mail notification once the transfers are uploaded/downloaded.

Dear Madam/Sir: I would like to transfer files and when it's finished transfering files have it delete the files it just transfered. Do you have an option like that?

Changing attributes on and deleting many (1000+) files takes quite some time, and seem to be limited to one connection.

Would it be possible for these requests to be queued or at least respect the maximum simultaneous transfers setting?

Also, whilst performing these actions, it is not possible to browse/perform other actions on the remote site.

It would be useful to be able to see why a file has failed to transfer. If you're transferring many files, it's not easy to find the failed file's server log/response.

Immediately prior to commencing the download of a file, FileZilla needs to refresh its knowledge of the file specs from the server. This needs to be done individually and separately for each file.

Consider the following scenario:

0. Persons "A" and "B" are both logged into the same FTP server.
1. Person A begins uploading a 500mb file "XX" (with some indeterminate FTP client).
2. Person B (running FileZilla) gets a listing of the directory during the upload. At that time, 50mb of the file has been transferred.
3. The upload subsequently completes.
4. Person B starts downloading file XX, without doing a "refresh" of the directory listing.
5. FileZilla starts the download and indicates that it expects it is downloading a 50mb file. The progress bar (bar graph) goes up to 100% and then the label changes to ">100%". FileZilla can no longer estimate how much time remains in the download.

Since files may change at any time on an FTP server, FileZilla should re-obtain the file statistics (size, date, etc) immediately prior to each file's download, not only to ensure accuracy of the progress bar and the time estimations, but also for safety of the operation as well. (For example, ability to determine if there's enough space for the download.)

If this is found to significantly impact performance (it shouldn't), a user preference can be added to select the new behavior for safety, or the old behavior for performance.

Because FileZilla supports drag-and-drop, i thing it woulod be a neat option to have a button next to the two "Toggle display for the local/remote directory tree" with "Toggle display of the local file borwser" which would hide *both* the directory tree and the file list of the local file system.

Rationale: in this way i can add in the registry a new action "FileZilla..." attached to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell" and to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell" which would simply open the FTP client window without the local file browser view, and then i can just drag-and-drop files and folders from explorer (or nautilus or whatever) to/from the remote FTP window. I think it's such an easy thing to do that it'd worth the half-an-hour effort.

Very often when using FTP, I find myself editing two or three files in different folders (for example I might have CSS, Javascript, images and HTML/PHP all in different folders).

When it comes to uploading though, I have to switch folders constantly to upload them. It would be great if there was a mechanism to assign files to a "repeat upload" state, then when I've edited them, I click one button to upload them all.

The only thing that comes close currently is you can go to the "Successful transfer" tab, highlight some files and choose "Reset and requeue" from the context menu, however this only works once - you have to do the above again for subsequent uploads - plus you have to click another button to "toggle processing of queue".

On Mac OSX generally when you click the close button of an application it will hide the application (i.e it's still running in the Dock) rather than quitting it.

This has caught me out a couple of times when I'm downloading/uploading files and click the red-x expecting the app to carry on in the background but it actually quits FileZilla.

To sum up: Red-x should do the same as "Hide FileZilla" (Cmd-H).

Please add a menu pull-down that has a list of saved connections so they can be re-established by the click of a menu choice. This would basically be an extension of teh Reconnect function, only giving some choices of recent connections.

I am in customer service and frequently have to revisit FTP sites/directories 3 or 4 times per day, with other connections in between to archive customer data. I may be working with several customers during a day and collecting debugging data from each one, sometimes more than one time during the day. It is time consuming to have to drill down through the same directory tree over and over again.

You already have the technology. The Reconnect function is great. It just needs to be expanded to give choices of several recent connections.

I have no suggestion for how many connections to remember. Ten or twelve might be enough for me, I haven't thought that far ahead.

Thinking more about design suggestions, comparing for duplicates and not saving them would be good, too.

In my case, I would need to see more than the FTP server name because I connect to the same archive server for each customer, but the session is unique by the connected directory, which your reconnect function does save.

Then how or when would the list be purged? Roll out the oldest entry when the maximum for the list is reached? User can purge at any time?

You folks have designed a very nice tool in Filezilla. I'm sure you can come up with a great design for this added function.

Thanks for considering my idea. John

Can't list files when the "TYPE I" is selected. It will only work with clients that use "TYPE A" for file list. Could some one add an option to use "TYPE A" for file lists instead of "TYPE I"?

hi, there's a little thing I'd like to notify you: when you try to export a group of sites from site manager filezilla createx an .xml file containing in its 4th row this: <Folder expanded="1">My sites the problem is that when you import it in another filezilla it creates a subfolder named My sites/My sites, a kind of redundancy. You can simply avoid it by editing the .xml file and erasing the 4th row above, but you know that most of users don't know that (at least as far as I can see), so I wonder if you can just fix this by showing a popup that asks whether the user wants the program to create a subfolder or not (and so decide whether to create the 4th row or not depending on user's choice); I tried doing it by myself but my skills in c++ are a little outdated,

so thank you for listening, best regards,

Rick

Up/downloading files via sftp does not work against an OpenVMS server. The messages listed below show the behavior when trying to download a single file (login.com;3) using sftp (not successful) and via ftp (successful, using the same host). Real usernames/hostnames/IPs have been replaced by dummy values. Opening connections via sftp does work and the directory content of the initial server side directory is correctly listed. However, traversing the directory tree on the server does not work, reporting similar error messages (wrong server side path specs).

Messages for sftp (unsuccessful)

Running the Windows version of FileZilla (3.3.2 official release), the Site Specific Bookmarks only show after opening the Site Manager dialogue:

1. Start FileZilla.
2. Open the 'Bookmarks' menu.
   • Only Shows 'Add' and 'Manage'
3. Open Site Manager.
4. Close the Site Manager dialogue with 'Cancel'.
5. Open the 'Bookmarks' menu.
   • Site specific bookmarks are now listed

Sometimes I try an old and new ftp login info.. Request a way to delete individual items from this list, without clearing the whole list.

In the "Site Manager", under "Advanced", have an optional checkbox to "Hide Parent Directories" when a default remote directory is specified. Alternatively, have a textbox that says "Hide Directories Above:"

So, if I specify default directory as "/nfs/abc/123/mnt/098776/domains" and check "Hide Parent Directories", then in the remote site address "/" will automatically assume the address "/nfs/abc/123/mnt/098776/domains" but not display it. In addition, the folder "/" in the remote site directory tree will assume its the "domains" directory without showing all the parents.

The result is saved screen space and have an easier working environment.

---

Personal explanation: One of my host servers I log into using SFTP. As a result, the root directory of my website is at an address like "/nfs/abc/123/mnt/098776/domains"

Though this feature may be less applicable on the local machine (if at all), on the remote server I have no reason to ever go above the directory "098776" and rarely above "domains" But the parent directories take up screen space in both the remote site address bar and the remote site directory tree.

DDE Execute request failed: A request for a synchronous execute transaction has timed out.

This happens when I right click on and then click Open a Corel Draw file in Filezilla. It automatically opens another instance of Corel Draw. I end up with multiple Corel Draw programs open, it wastes a lot of time and memory.

I see a few people have mentioned this before.. do you guys consider it a low priority..

Thank you very much for the feature to add a generic proxy, namely a socks 5 proxy, in the global setup of the current FileZilla client. But I am using a couple of ftp servers all configured in the server manager, and they all use different socks proxys.

So here is my request: Please put the proxy configuration in the server manager so every ftp server can be configured with an individual proxy. The same feature is implemented in PuTTY. Thank you.

Kind regards from Berlin/Germany. Willy Tenner

Sometimes I encounter the "Selected File Already Being Edited" dialog box. If I was trying to open multiple files that were in this state, after clicking "OK" for whatever action I chose, the file opens and I'm taken out of FileZilla. Then I have to return to FileZilla to click "OK" for the next file, and the next file, and on down the line until I have all the files open.

What would save a lot of time is two checkbox options: "Always Perform this Action" (working like the upload and replace, where it only stays set until FileZilla is closed), and "Perform Action for Group" (assuming multiple files are trying to be opened and receiving this error)

In the filezilla windows client, it would be nice to implement the following:

1) If the focus lies on ONE LOCAL FILE, starting Transfer|Manual transfer could already default to UPLOAD and present the selected file in the local file textbox.

2) If the focus lies on ONE REMOTE FILE, starting Transfer|Manual transfer can default to DOWNLOAD and present the remote file in the EXTERNAL FILE textboxes.

Remarks: Currently when starting Manual transfer the local textbox already contains the local path and the external file textbox already contains the external path. It would be nice if also the selected filename could be taken into account and also the transfer direction.

I find very useful the ability of editing remote files. But when I want to edit a remote file, I have to open Filezilla, open the remote site, and double click the remote file.

I can call Filezilla+site from a shortcut using a command line shortcut. Once filezilla is open, I can double click the file to edit it. I'd like to call filezilla from command line to open a file in edit mode, not just open a directory. This'd be a very useful feature. So, you can have icons on your desktop, that lets you edit remote files, using the good Filezilla remote edit (auto upload) feature. It could be acomplished with a new command line switch. I've not found any way to do this with any ftp client I know. But I think it can be very useful.

I was asked to provide a log file for a bug, so I enabled the log in the options. However, a log file was not created. So I needed to restart FileZilla. After restart, a log file was created. FileZilla did not ask me to restart.

FileZilla 3.3.2 Windows XP SP 3 32-Bit

When using FileZilla since the upgrade to 3.3.2 I have been unable to connect to any website via FTP.

When using DOS FTP/cuteFTP/smartFTP I can connect and upload/download without issue. It is only FileZilla that does not connect.

i.e. 15:34:03 Status: Connecting to 194.154.164.103:21... 15:34:23 Error: Connection timed out 15:34:23 Trace: CFtpControlSocket::ResetOperation(2114) 15:34:23 Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(2114) 15:34:23 Error: Could not connect to server

This has only been a problem since the upgrade, it has been working fine since installing on this computer back in November 2009.

user can control copying time -> much small files -> more simultaneous transfers -> big files -> no speed reduction (in lan) -> 1 file, no simultaneous transfers

idea:

a feature to enable/disable. this feature may analyses the queue and sets rules for files or at least the option to fast switch this.

It would be a handy feature to have a dropdown list of defined sites from the Site Manager as an option to be shown on the quick connect bar ... it would save a trip and several clicks to the site manager dialog :-)

I was trying to upload a large (7.5gb) iso image. After some point the file size at the remote location was decreasing versus increasing. Resume does not understand how much of the file has been previously uploaded and eventually uploaded 11gb for a 7.5gb file. If the upload is made in a single continuous session the result is OK, but for example a local file of size 7,960,723,456 is reported as 692,211,136 at the remote site in FileZilla. Actual size at remote site is 7,960,723,456

With Windows 7, many programs are taking advantage of the new taskbar features. It would be nice to have some features incorporated into FileZilla.

Perhaps a list of recently connected sites or sites within the Site Manager.

An example of what I'm talking about can be looked at in the attachment.

I would like to propose to make the tabs of the FileZilla-FTP client individually available for Aero Peek in Windows 7. Additionally the new progress indicator in the taskbar should be used to display the overall upload / download progress to the user. There should be an overall progress at all - actually I can only view the progress of each file-operation.

With best regards Inno

Currently, text segmentation in pathname textboxes seems to be just standard, similar to what I would find in, say, Microsoft Notepad.

To elaborate upon what I mean: Take the path "/home/username/wwwroot/website.org/~username/pub-files/dir_name/whatever". Double clicking within this textbox currently selects the maximal recognized token surrounding the current position of the cursor (at least it does so on Windows).

This is indeed the expected behavior, but unfortunately the recognized tokens in the above pathname are "/home/username/wwwroot/website.org/~username/pub" and "files/dir_name/whatever". Of course, the recognized tokens should be "home", "username", "wwwroot", "website.org", "~username", and "pub". Further tokenizing "website.org" as "website" and "org" would be acceptable as well.

Hopefully this is not too involved of a request. Mozilla Firefox, for example, does this with its address bar, but of course the underlying UI engine is totally different in that case...

a built-in Ident feature. Also known as authentication. Usually listening on port 113. User could select Port, ID and Server type.

Please refer to earlier ticket 1164. The problem still remains.

I believe that, at least for some time, Filezilla 3 did recognize VMS file types in spite of the version number being attached to the file (for example test.zip;3). There was displayed a "zip" icon in the remote file tree next to the filename, and the "auto" transfer mode did work.

This is no longer the case.

I want to automate FTP sessions. Please let me know of features , command line, scripts etc.

FileZilla Client version 3.3.2.1

When downloading image files (tested with jpg files) that have a "." prefix in the filename the files are transferred in ASCII mode instead of binary.

Such images are created by components of FCKEditor to hold a small thumbnail version of a large image and are named in the format ".myimage.jpg"

Hi, i would like you to consider implementing a function to specify the number of entries in the quick connect list.

I often use the quick connect function, so I have many many connections in it. It is a little pity that the current limit is 10 entries. I would really appreciate a feature to set this limit individually.

thanks, Matthias

Cannot follow OSX folder aliases. Just sees them as files.

every time a timeout occurs and the upload is stopped and reinitiated the resulting file is larger than the original file

at least an option to avoid the resume in the preferrences will be great this way if an upload fail it will start over again and no resume

your resume code has problems at least with Filezillaa and my ftp server

thank you ( chukran )

When download files to local site UNC server(e.g:
servername\filefolder) directtly, FileZilla or PC will be paused

A lot of times you get errors from servers, warnings that you really should pay attention to. Mostly failed attempts to upload or change files on the server.

Currently this errors are shown in the log when they happend, but the log keeps going and the msg is swept away in the background.

I hate to spend 15 minutes on a bug just to found out that the changes I make to the file where not saved because of permissions. Such things should be noticeable in a big red outline on top of my screen, along with any failed attempts to modify files on the server.

A new feature that presents a 1 line* box on top of the toolbar could serve as an important notification bar for just those occasions*.

• - configurable

When you name files on the remote server such that their names begin with a space character, FileZilla is no longer able to operate on those files. It always returns the error "no such file or directory" when trying to move, delete or rename the file.

Another similar bug (#5292) was rejected because it related to a limitation of using the LIST command and the identification of padding characters.

However, I am connecting to my remote server using SSH and FileZilla is using the "ls" command, rather than LIST. Another difference is that, when using LIST, if the file either begins or ends with a space, it becomes unmodifiable, while with ls, files ending with a space can be interacted with normally. Only files that begin with a space become problematic.

Using FZ 3.3.2.1

All of the options exposed in the transfer menu (speed limit, action if file exists, transfer type) are present in the program settings too. However the "preserve timestamps" is only in the menu, making it harder to find.

I think the option should also be present in the settings.

Hi All.

Scenario:

• I have a XML ONLY containing a queue (lets call it X).
• Inside X are a few files which I have to upload many times a day.
• After clicking "File, Import...", I can choose X.
• Then I have to first endure the following dialog before I can get back to productivity:

The selected file contains importable data for the following categories: <*> Queue Please select the categories you would like to import.

This dialog makes perfect sense to show if there is more than one category available. But if not it is just a bothersome task to click it again away, each time this function is used. So I would suggest hiding this dialog if there is only one item to choose from in the first place. It would make my life a lot easier ;). And also, please make a button to import files in the menu, please.

Thanks for reading. Blacky

FileZilla Version in use: 3.3.2.1

I note that you have gotten this a bunch but you do not clearly explain what to do. I do not know what to do as it is a file that was loaded by your software, so why would it all of a suddne cause a problem? I have used Filezilla a long time and this has only appeared in this latest build.

When I start File Zilla client I get this warning ...

Could not load C;\Users\Rebecca\AppData\FileZilla\queue.xml", could not be loaded. The XML document is not well-formed:Erro reading Element vlaue.

The queue will not be saved.

The same warning comes when I close File Zilla!

I am using the latest version 3.3.2.1 but have had this problem with the previous version too.

Apart from this I like File Zilla - it is a super FTP client!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled this but still get the same message.

Duplicate of bug #3823 (​http://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/3823) but could not find solution there.

The problem only is with some SFTP servers (actually I only know one).

I can establish a good connection with other servers, and can establish a good connection with both PuTTY (SSH) and PSFTP.

When I upload many files (for example 20 files), the last file (the file who appears last because of its name) may be not uploaded. The more you upload, the more Filezilla forget files.

Hi! In FileZille 3.3.2.1 (portable as well as installed version) I encounter a bug if the local and the remote computer have set a summer system time (daylight saving, timezone CEST).

This bug is a bit annoying when comparing the files. The files on the server always seem an hour "newer". The bug randomly does not occur (about 30% of my FileZilla runs), but I was unable to find out the pattern.

After uploading a file, its timestamp ist set correctly (if checked via ls -l), but the files view in FileZilla tells me that the file was an hour newer.

I'd like to see the 'transfer type' (ASCII|Binary) added to each of the entries in the status/history pane at the bottom.

Hi, first of all i would like to thank you for giving us an awesome program... I am glad to see the multiple tabs now in place (it wasn't there before when i tried it), so i might be able to finally switch to FileZilla. (previous user of AceFTP).

I would like to request a way to lock the local view, across multiple tabs. I usually connect to 3 servers (for which i have 3 tabs on FileZilla open), and I update them from one local location. After i apply the updates on my first server/tab, and switch to the second tab, i would like the local view from the first tab to be "preserved" or locked... i hope this makes sense..

thanks!

A notification like "Really delete file 'NAME_OF_THE_FILE'?" would be nice, instead of just "Really delete 1 file?". So if you click the wrong file or folder by mistake you could make sure twice before really deleting the file or folder.

Something like a temporary recycle bin would be really nice. So if you delete an very important file like "my_file.php" which is only about 15 kb big but contains dozens of hours of work, the file would be downloaded to a temporary folder on your pc before removing it from the server.

So in the settings of FileZilla you could customize this feature like this way:

"Download files temporarily before removing from server []" and "Maximum file size for files to be temporarily downloaded on your pc before removed from the server" ... or something like this.

Can we have a preference in the Edit--settings to allow us to turn off the Local Site tree pane? Like many people, I prefer using my computers' built in file browsing services and then dragging and dropping to and from the remote window. I know it is possible to make the local site tree pane smaller, but just seeing it there is annoying.

In Windows, if one pastes a linux-style path into the location bar, the OS automatically deals with the fact that the slashes are pointing the wrong way and takes you to the intended location. It would be awesome of FileZilla could do the same thing when someone pastes a Windows-style path into the Remote site location bar. In that case, of course, the backslashes would have to be converted to foreward slashes. This seems like an easy feature to implement and would actually save me a lot of time as I go back and forth between my local Windows file system and the file system on a web server.

I've made a new filtergroup with 13 and counting rules, which I now want to share with the rest of my company, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this. Since I don't feel like retyping this list in every single computer here, could this functionality be implemented?

Filezilla doesn't stop trying to upload the same file after getting the disk quota limit error -452-. It gives an file exist notice with the first file but keeps trying to send the second and third.

scenario: connected to my company network via. vpn (not exactly fast). trying to send a file that resides on company network to a remote ftp server elsewhere in the world (definitely not fast). I currently notice that the predicted time to complete is 10 hours. However, if the same file is local to my client machine the time to send is about 6 hours. The time to simply copy the file to my local pc is less than 2 hours.

This leads me to infer that Filezilla is reading a block from the file and then sending the block, repeated till the send is done (appologies if this is incorrect). If my vpn connection is full duplex it should be possible to service file reads at the same time the ftp send is in progress, thereby saving time in sending files that I can only access over the same network adapter I use for the ftp send. I guess this would mean multithreading the file read and send, but I will leave the design to you geniuses.

When the FileZilla client is updated it always creates a new desktop shortcut, which will remove any command-line arguments I had in my previous one. One workaround for this is to rename the shortcut and to delete the new shortcut on every update, but I usually just choose not to bother updating instead.

Thanks!
