I have looked over the requests and couldn't find this, so I thought I would add it.

It would be nice if the window with which you can view the sites in the Site Manager was larger. It used to be really large back in FZ 2.x. What I am talking about is the area that is viewable for the tree of sites just below the words "Select Entry".

I do a lot of folders and sub-folders to organize the sites that I have, and it is annoying when I can only see a couple of them, and then not all the descriptions show up because they are beyond the viewable area.

I would have to say this is the probably the only thing in FZ 3.x that I would consider a bad change from FZ 2.x.

I would like to say that the software as a whole is excellent, and one of the best ftp programs out there.

Thank you for your time, and excellent product. Joshua Swain

I just wanna move some files to another directory on the remote host. This will be useful when arranging files. Thanks for your work.

Hi and thanks for great product. It would be a great help if you could add the "Site Name" to the Title Bar. Currently it says Username@192.168.1.1 It would help if it said MY_SITE_NAME - Username@192.168.1.1 This is because I sometimes use the same username for different sites and then I'm not sure which site I'm working on.

Thanks and keep up the great effort.

I tend to work on two or three sites on any given day, so it would be extremely useful if there was a dropdown list of recently accessed sites, so I did not have to scroll through my long list of sites every time.

Is it possible you could strip the stable Linux build, that would reduce the linux package alot.

Thanks.

I've used the windows xp version and i love it. but when i use it on vista it sucks. I can't disconnect unless i close the program, i can't pause the downloads one by one. If you could put the same features as windows xp in the vista version itd be awesome. thanks

To make theming of FileZilla easier something else instead of one global themes.xml file should be used. FileZillla could, for example, instead look for *.xml files in a resources/themes directory and load everything from there.

ATM you have to manually edit the global themes.xml file which makes creating standalone themes more difficult. (For example within package management systems.)

As of 3.0.7.1 keep-alives are being sent during a file transfer. I don't think I know of a server that will time out during a transfer, so this isn't really necessary. :)

This is the best FTP client I've ever used, and I edit remote files 100+ times a day with it.

What would save a lot of time for guys like me is having the option to save a file in the editor and have it automatically upload without this dialog:

"A file previously opened has changed: xxxx.xxx Upload this file back to the server?"

Maybe the dialog could include a checkbox to the effect of "Always use this answer."

Note: I'm really excited about the keep alive timeout fix in 3.0.7.1. Thanks!

None of the sort tabs work, either by name, direction, size, or priority. It would also be nice to right click "pause" or stop. Not just stop and remove or unprocess queue.

When remote browser retrieves a long list of files, we need a search function like the searchbox in vista explorer. flashfxp has this function also(Ctrl-F).

Filezilla's broad feature support makes it a useful tool. However, storing FTP passwords would be much safer if it used the system's password mechanism. Gnome provides Keyring, KDE provides Kwallet, and OS X provides Keychain. Please include optional support for these mechanisms.

Hi, when a file transfer is happening, if I scroll up in the log, it keeps moving and I can't really read it.

My sugestion is that as soon as the log isn't at the very bottom, scrolling is frozen (though it continues to fill) so I can look back at the log and read entries while the transfer is still proceeding.

Add a right-click "copy URL" (to clipboard) feature to remote files/folders. Associate a URL with sites/paths in the site manager and use this to compute the answer. This is the feature I miss the most from "Smart FTP Client". --joe

GlobalSCAPE CuteFTP has a feature called "Lockstep Folder Navigation" that I would love to see implemented in FileZilla as well. When you navigate to a folder in one pane, the program automatically navigates to the equivalent location in the other pane. I'll give an example to explain better:

You connect to a server. The left-hand pane (your local machine) is showing "C:\Website". The right-hand pane displays the contents of the server, "/". Suppose that both contain a folder called "images." You double-click on the images folder in the left-hand pane, opening it, so now the left-hand pane shows "C:\Website\images". With lockstep navigation, the right-hand pane would then automatically navigate to "/images/", without requiring the user to click on the images folder in this pane.

In other words, it would detect that you navigated to a folder in one pane that has an equivalent in the other pane, and accordingly would open both. Similarly, if you were to double-click on the ".." folder in the right pane at this point, it would move up by one directory in both panes.

This is a time-saving, convenience feature--it's not a bug fix or anything critical--but it really is fantastic, and I hope to see it in future versions of FileZilla.

Many people are using WinScp (which I find has an inferior interface and is slower than filezilla) only because they need the Scp protocol and make calls to Putty.

If you implement this, we can just switch over to Filezilla!

Thanks and best regards, Cheski

The menu structure is confusing as the Export to file and Import from file is under the Edit menu. I assumed that this feature did not exist as it wasn't under the File menu.

From a usability point of view both Import and Export should be under the File menu.

I've found it rather useful to use the VIEW/EDIT to download a file I need to edit, make my change then save it in the external editor, then have the client realize a change (Based on time/date/size/whatever) and then request to upload. What I'd like to see added (And its a very simple thing to do) is have it have that dialog to give me the option to allow automatic upload and overwrites the file on a discovery of a change to the file, without my having saying YES or NO every time.

It would be really nice if FileZilla could support Tango Icon Library ​http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library#Install and others created by users!

Thanks for the excellent and high quality software!

It's great if FZ has somewhere to store favourite folders (quick folders), so that we can go quickly to some folders (both in Client and Server) that frequently used

Hi,

Would it be possible to have shortcuts to remote directories in the site manager, like in CuteFTP ? It's really helpfull !

Thanks for your great job !!!

Best regards,

Fred

Add a function to copy paths of files to clipboard, also make it possible to copy more the one url at the same time.

The best thing I like to see is that it's possible to copy url and i convert it to the www adress. eg copy path ​ftp://ftp.server.com:21//public_html/lo ... f/the/file

converted to

​http://www.server.com/location/of/the/filehotmail.com

Like in transmit for osx

Hello,

a very important feature is a way to export a XML file with all settings and data of Site Manager, for security (I want to backup the data every day using a .BAT file) and to install Filezilla in a new computer, for example, to restore identical configs on it.

Thank you! Rogerio (long time Filezilla user)

Would be great if I could add a global setting to never upload my .svn folders. (ie. ignore folder, exclude folder) Thanks :)

FileZilla is getting better and better, unfortunately passwords are stored in cleartext (filezilla.xml). I would also appreciate if you could implement the "ask for password" feature in FTPproxy-settings. Otherwise periodicaly changing passwords tend to make hotlines busy.

It could be very nice to add file and directory exclusions for uploads.

For example, I work with SVN and I have a ton of ".svn" directories in my web projects. When I upload one to a FTP server, I would like not to upload the ".svn" directories and their contents...

I'd see a double option on a per-site configuration option as well as a general option.

Our office does a lot of web design and everyone agrees that this would be an awesome feature!

If there could be a toggle button on the main tool bar that puts Filezilla Client into SDT (Simultaneous Directory Traversal) mode which means that if you change directory in the local window, it will look for a directory with the same name on the remote side. If it finds one it automatically opens it.

If you are in a directory of the same name in both local and remote windows and you move back a directory in the local window then it also moves back a directory on the remote side too.

It would be great to have it have this functionality in both the remote window and local window... I described it above with only the local window firing this special functionality but that was just to keep the wording simple. It should definitely be turned on for both given the toggle is on.

There should also be an option in settings that lets you say whether the check for whether you are in a folder of the same name is case sensitive or not... with the default being 'not'.

This feature would save us a TONNE of time over the course of a month with the number of times we have to click 'includes' on both, then '..' on both, then 'admin' on both etc. while simply trying to update files quickly that are located in different directory without using the tree view.

It takes too many steps to resume failed transfers

I'd like something like a button or context menu alternative such as "move all failed transfers to queue tab and resume transfer"

This instead of having to mark all failed transfers moving them back to the queue tab, and then resume transfer.

After changing a file via View/Edit filezilla always asks if it should resubmit the altered file. Is it possible to turn those questions off in the options?

For regular / re-occurring file transfers, it would be great to have either a dedicated scheduler, or at least be able to run FileZilla from a command line with all switches/options which could then be set up for regular-re-occurring execution by the Windows event scheduler. Thanks!

I do a lot of editing of files, and currently to make a copy of a file before I edit it, I do this:

1. Switch to c:\temp
2. Copy file from remote to temp
3. Rename it locally to filename.ext.backup
4. Re-upload to server

Would be great if I could just ctrl+drag a file on the remote view to create a copy of a file.

Or right-click and "Create backup" which will just copy a file and put .backup on the end of it.

:)

I'm running Filezilla 3.0.8.1 on linux.

There are a few things I'd love to see improved with the Site Manager "Sites" UI.

• I'd like to be able to make the sites viewing area wider or narrower on demand. Right now there is a fairly small space and it feels a little cramped, especially when I want to have longer names, or folder trees. Right now, it uses scrollbars, but I'd like to be able to change the size via drag&drop.

• When trying to rename/delete/copy sites or folders, the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to be working. Pressing R or D or C will simply select the site that has those letters as their first letter. It won't actually delete them until I manually click the buttons.

• I can't seem to drag&drop existing sites between folders. I can add a folder, and add a site to that folder, but I can't move sites between folders. I'd like it if I could add a folder, then move an existing site to that folder.

• In the General tab, in the Logontype dropdown menu. I'd like to be able to type the first letter of the option I want and it automatically selects it (this is the standard html behavior). Right now, when you have the dropdown menu active, pressing N for 'Normal' doesn't do anything, but I'd like it to select the 'Normal' option, and so on.

Thanks for your time!

I habitually upload multiple files to servers, always with the same settings, "Overwrite if source newer" and "Always use this action." Of course, other people have their own preferences they usually use.

Please make FileZilla Client remember the last-used settings for this dialog box, even on the next execution of the software. This saves time having to select the same options again and again.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

This is a request for Filezilla 3 to support a "Master Password" to lock either the sitemanager info (simpler to implement I think) or the edit of sitemanager entries (this would be more similar to firefox 3, but I think I'd like the first option best)

I know this one is tough to implement, but many filezilla users need this. This "a la firefox" level of security, even if simple and low, suits very well the average Desktop user.

Thus, if "Master Password" is enabled, before connecting to site, the user will be prompted the Master Password.

The sitemanager.xml file would be encrypted with AES256 or something like that using the master password.

This would eliminate one of the most common users' concern about filezilla. Obviously not a perfect solution, but in my view would enough for the desktop.

I've heard Tim suggesting users to:

a) encrypt the home partition b) don't do anything and trust the sysadmin or root user.

While I understand what Tim suggests, I don't think it helps the average desktop user, who doesn't understand what either a) or b) mean.

I think the proposed solution would help here.

In any case, grateful to have filezilla running in my linux desktop box.

Hello,

escuse me for my poor english.

I just want to tranfert automatically a directory an its sub-diretories from my first ftp server to my second ftp server, by pass my computer, because my servers don't accept FXP.

This is what I do manually : 1) I connect to my first server 2) I download a selected directory and sub-dirextories and files into a temporary directory in my local computer 3) when it's done I delete on my fisrt server the selected directory and sub-dirextories and files 4) when it's done I disconnect my first server 5) I connect to my second directory 6) I upload the downloaded directory and sub-dirextories and files 7) when it's done I disconnect my second server

Is it possible to do these 7 step automatically with filezilla ?

My mail is nospam.top_nullus-void@… without "nospam.","-void","remove-"

thank you

Hello

escuse me for my poor english

when I use filezilla on internet, I can't download or upload more than one file at time.

when I use filezilla on intranet, I can download or upload more than one file at time.

each time I connect it's necessary to change setting\transfert\maximum silmutaneous number

is it possible to have a global or a parent properties for a group, and a private or child property in the group ?

thank you

My mail is nospam.top_nullus-void@… without "nospam.","-void","remove-"

It would be very helphull if the (ej. ;2) version number is removed when transfering a file from Open VMS. At this moment when you transfer a file from VMS, it also transfer the version number as part of the whole name. This make impossible to detect in AUTO mode if the file is ASCII or Binary and also no association could be made on the Windows side unless you remove the version number.

Example File with version number: test.txt;10 File without version number: test.txt

I would like to see support of Cerberus FTP Server's Virtual Root Directory for Users to be included in the next release of FileZilla.

Filezilla 3.0.9.2

Problem: If on the remote server there is a symbolic link that does not refer to a directory (i.e. it points to a file), the following error is issued:

Befehl: CWD README.txt Antwort: 550 README.txt: Not a directory Fehler: Verzeichnisinhalt konnte nicht empfangen werden

instead of downloading the file that is pointed to by the symbolic link README.txt

File-Zilla Client: Command-Connection to a server should be keep-Alive by the NOP Operation. Calculate the Idle Time of the Command-Connection and initiate a NOP Command every 120 sec for example. Every NOP or any other communication of the Direction "Client->Server" should reset the Idle-Time-Counter.

Andreas

FileZilla supports APPEND to complete a broken upload. In my case this faild on several tests. I will suggest the technique other FTP-Clients use:

In the Upload-Case:

1) Read the Size of the File On Server 2) Use the Restart Command with "Size-4096" Bytes (this is because Servers/Filesystems may preallocate Space for uploaded files and the content of the end of this files may undefined) 3) Upload at the given position

Andreas

When a timeout occurs, the log shows you "server disconnected". It could tell us "Server disconnected. Press the R button to reconnect." This would help some users to discover this feature.

How about synchronizing the folder-views while navigating through either directory tree (local or remote site). If the selected folder (name) equals a folder (name) in the opposite view, on "folder sync" a doubleclick on one of them triggers the same action on the other.

Various dialog boxes have the positions of the OK and Cancel buttons reversed from what has become the norm, which is Cancel on the left and OK (or Connect) on the right. The reason for doing things this way is that as English readers and writers, we normally work from left to right. However, to proceed with an action by moving (visually, logically) to the left to click the Connect button for example, clashed with user-friendly interface design. Thanx!

Is it possible to add a count of selected files like it was in version 2.2.18?

thanks

It would be interesting implemented the function drag and drop between different instances of FileZilla. Thank you. Regards.

I have used FileZilla 2.x (currently 2.2.32) heavily for years, and especially rely on GSSAPI/Kerberos and IPv6 functions of FileZilla client. I did a trial install of 3.0.9.3, but uninstalled it when I was unable to find these features. Are they hidden? Or did they get dropped in the recode from 2.x to 3.x? In any event, please restore them so I can use a current version of FileZilla.

I'd like the client to show Queued files to be sorted by Highest to Lowest. So, if file #100 in the queue is changed to Highest, it would automatically be #1 on the list.

I have two FTP servers that need commands on startup to be useful. Those commands are "site long" for a novell server and "site cyl pri=7 sec=1 lrecl=235 blksize=0 unit=TEST" for a VMS mainframe. These commands are a little long to remember to type in before transferring any files.

It would be nice if the sum of filesize from selected files appear in the statusbar. (Like Explorer in Windows with statusbar activated)

It would be very useful to show the number of currently selected files for both the local PC and remote server. When comparing directories with a large number of files, you are stuck without knowing if one is missing.

Previously the default directory trees were expanded automatically. Any chance of this being reimplemented?

Can you please add support for server type AS/400 or Iseries.

Thanks

I would love to see one central file which stores the FTP settings which can be opened both by the Apple version as the windows version of this great program.

Hi,

I'm missing the small feature in the new version that displays the total number of files / total filesize for each directory.

I use some size restricted servers, so it's necessary to see how much of that size do I already use. And the total number of files is necessary for my website report (as for example to know the total number of e-cards created in a specific month).

Thank you

if somewhere there could be the option to skip empty directories (global or per site), i think that feature would be appreciated.

in Filezilla 3 HTTP-PROXY support is not present ( I haven't FTP Proxy only HTTP proxy)

Filezilla 2 has this support. in example, in Filezilla 2.2.32, I can insert my http proxy in:

• Filezilla Options
• Connection
• Proxy settings

then i set Http 1.1 proxy and insert my hostname and port (username and password not needed for me but optionally supported with checkbox)

please help me with Filezilla 3 I cannot connect

I downloaded old version (2.2.32) from tucows and old version run properly...

Hi,

Please implement a feature similar to Cuteftp lockstep folder navigation.

More details here: ​http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6221 ​http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6937

It would be nice if you add an option to sort the folder and files with the natural order algorithm. So sort e.g. 1, 2, .., 8, 9, 10, 11 instead of 1, 10, 11, 2, [...], 8, 9.

One of my wishes is to have an extra column in the tab Successful Transfers.

This column must say what was done with the file: skipped, overwritten, new.

This is very usefull if you download many files and want to see which ones are updated and which ones are new.

Kind Regards, ACH

Hi:

Would you please consider adding a search feature to be able to search for specific files on large FTP sites, rather than to have to search manually through many directories.

Thanks, Jeremy

I don't want to encrypt my home partition, but I do need to protect my cached passwords. I'd like to be able to install FileZilla normally but link to a TrueCrypt drive for the single file that merits that protection.

I use zillions of pre-created entries on Site Manager. Everytime I load the program I need to press Control+S to open Site Manager. An option to auto-open it on load (like version 2.x) is very handy.

When a new file is saved to the local directory, or any other change occurs, FileZilla should automatically refresh the local directory view so that you can easily switch to FileZilla from what you were doing and work with uploading new files etc from the directory without having to manually refresh it every time.

I may be wrong but I believe this is what was included as a patch by Chen-hsiu Huang in FileZilla 2 on 2005-02-21, as FileZilla 2 had this functionality but I have yet to see it implemented in FileZilla 3.

I found this feature quite useful but unfortunately it's gone in the newer versions. Is there a chance to have it in future releases?

Hi,

I would like to be able to create a shortcut to FileZilla that launches an FTP to an address specified within the shortcut.

FileZilla already does this partially, however I need to have the user enter their username and password every time. I cannot store the username in the shortcut and I cannot save usernames/passwords in the site manager.

So in the shortcut I would like to have something like this as the command:

"c:\program files\FileZilla FTP Client\FileZilla.exe" address -f

Where "address" is the address of the ftp server that I put into the shortcut and "-f" or some other switch tells FileZilla to prompt for the username and password before connecting to the server.

This would allow me to deploy a shortcut to all the machines that I use that will connect for any user to a given FTP server, but it will prompt them for their information upon the initial connect each time.

Thanks for your consideration,

-Q

It would be nice to be able to create a file on the server that you are connected to, instead of having to create the file locally and upload

I'd like to suggest a feature that would mean Filezilla Client tries to change the current folder in the other pane after the user changes current folder in one of the panes.

to clarify:

1) user changes to 'htdocs' folder in local site pane.

2) _if_ sync folder navigation toggle is set _and_ current folder in remote site pane contains a 'htdocs' folder _and_ the current folder names are the same.. _then_ change into 'htdocs' in remote pane. _else_ change navigation toggle to include "!" (because sync may be out of step)

This seems to me a natural progression of the 'Default local directory' and 'Default remote directory' in the Advanced section of the Site manager.

Dear Filezilla team.

Hello. I really appricated your team make Filezilla. That is really nice s/w.

I've used FileZilla 100 times in a day. What I and most of my team's need are Matching directory Function.

I remember one of FTP client has that Function. that was crazy nice function, but except that, there is nothing good.

FileZilla has most of nice function without Maching Directory function.

Explain

ex) Local c:\aaa\instance1\eee\ggg\hhh\111\222\333

Server \home01\weblogic\instance1\eee\ggg\hhh\111\222\333

from "c:\aaa\instance1\" and "\home01\weblogic\instance1\" have same tail that "\eee\ggg\hhh\111\222\333".

If there is a button "set Head Directory Local/Remote" and then the directory moves together. where I get in and out.

of course, there should be turn on/off function.

I really hope you can make that function.

Very often I edit a file via "edit file" in filezilla. When I test something (maybe php script) I have to enter the filezilla window to confirm "upload the file" every time I would like to test the script / after I saved it locally.

it is not comfortable because it costs a lot of time.

please add a function/option called "automatically upload files when edited/saved locally" or something like that to make working with filezilla easier.

If you connect to a sever and sit there long enough it will disconnect you and your remote directory will go blank. (You can of course reconnect to bring back the same directory... but you have to wait will it reconnects)

It would be far more user friendly to not wipe the remote window on auto disconnects. That way you still have the remote directory in front of you for reference and the second you try to perform an action... like opening a new folder (that isn't cached) or view/editing a file it would reconnect to perform the task.

Other FTP programs work this way and it creates the illusion of never being disconnected and doesn't interfere with workflow quite as much.

When one edits a file from the server and the file is already being edited, it would be nice if the dialog that asks "A file with that name is already being edited. Discard old file and download the new file?" also had an "Open existing file" button, rather than just a Yes or No.

The existing file is usually sitting somewhere in a hard to reach location, and I might not want to redownload it, such as in the case where I closed the editor by accident.

I think a function who permit to copy the url of an ftp's file in a http link would be nice for Filezilla. Exemple : A friend want to see a picture that I have on my HDD. I upload it on my ftp, and when it done, I make a right click on the file (in the ftp), and I use the copy url's button, and I have the direct link to download the file for my friend (like ​http://nitro.myftp.org/picture.jpg). Smartftp has this function, but it can also copy the ftp url, and just the path. It's a very useful function and i hope she can be add to a futur version of Filezilla.

Sorry for my English, i'm French.

I would like the option to display the files list beside the directory list, in both local and remote panes. My directory tree and file names are rarely anywhere near 1/2 the screen width, but I often would like to be able to view more than can be displayed in the letterbox views.

it was a usefull feature of the previous version. Can we have it also in V3?

Thanks Claudio

I'd love a date stamp also in the file transfer window. Thank you very much.

I used to use SmartFTP, but after they stopped offering a free version for download I've decided FileZilla's going to be my FTP client from now on.

SmartFTP had a feature that copied the URL of a remote file to your clipboard if the FTP server was bookmarked and it's remote URL text box was filled in.

Adding IPv6 support back into FileZilla was welcome. I have been using it. Supporting literal IPv6 addresses per RFC2732 - square brackets around the literal address is missing. IPv4 literal addresses are supported, so IPv6 should be as well.

Actual: Passwords (for sites as for Proxy settings) are stored in the Configuration File as Cleartext on the Hard Disk. The Users Passwords can be easily observed by opening the Config.

Request: Encrypt the Passwords using symmetric Encryption (such as AES or Blowfish). Although it would be possible to retrieve the Key that has been user , the stored Passwords cannot be read as easily from the Config.

When browsing, it could be much more convenient to allow "directory lock", meaning that when I browse into dir "A" on local computer, the remote connection also opens "A" dir, and vice-versa.

In the old Filezilla version you could type a letter and the prompt was moved to the first folder starting with that letter. In version 3 it is not possible.

Can you allow it?

Thanks Claudio

A feature which I find very useful is to be able to set 'file filters' (as 'global settings' and/or per FTP location) which prevent certain files from being uploaded. For example, uploading a complete image directory also uploads that unnecessary Thumbs.db file (on Windows). (The filter which should then be set, would be 'Thumbs.db').

Or, when uploading a precompiled .NET website all sourcefiles should not be uploaded (filter on '*.aspx.vb'/'*.aspx.cs').

It could work almost similar like the 'Filename filters' but instead of not showing certain files locally, the files matching the filters are not uploaded.

Hi,

I used to be a big fan of SmartFTP until they started charging for the Home version. The best featured I liked in their client, was the ability to leave multiple FTP connections open at the same time via tabs on top. I work on about a dozen different sites all the time, so it is very helpful for me to keep those connections open, then just click on the tab for the appropriate connection and drag-drop files to the FTP clinent to FTP them up.

It would be nice if it were possible to force filenames to lowercase or uppercase when uploading files. So just like the overwrite option there should be the possibility to choose: filename -> original; lowercase; uppercase.

It would be nice if I could assign a background colour (or a background image) of the server window for each account, so I would know intuitionally (by the background colour) which server I am on (or which account I use), because most of my server structures are quite similar and I often put files on the wrong server.

it could be usefull if there are the bookmarks of local and network folders, same as firefox or explorer

Request for "QUIT"-Disconnect Option:

Description: A check box option (or a seperate command) to invoke a "QUIT" command before or on disconnect.

Justification: Currently, when disconnecting or closing the FileZilla Client Application, there is no "hand-shaking" between the server and client upon disconnection.

If a "QUIT" command option-upon-close is invoked, (or if a user manually enters the "QUIT" command in the custom commands field) it communicates with the server that the connection is being closed. In addition, various servers may send the client various FTP session stats regarding file transfers, total files transfered and total bytes uploaded or downloaded.

In closing, if the QUIT command is added, the FileZilla client would not terminate the connection before receiving the overall final stats from the server before disconnecting.

Thanks for providing a great FTP Client App. (Nice Job!)

Thanks for your interest regarding this request.

• A FileZilla Advocate

Hello,

I have a linux ftp server, and some files on it has the name contain chars like ":". This is valid in linux. But when I run FileZilla on windows, and try to download it, FileZilla just reports: "Error: Failed to open "D:\My Documents\a:b" for writing" because ":" is not allowed in windows filenames. Please implement a auto rename option.

Sorry if there is already one. But I can't find it.

I maintain several multipage websites and I frequently use FTP to update changed pages only. The most useful folder view for this operation is to show files in date-modified order, newest at the top.

I would like to have FileZilla remember the way I left the folder and present the same view next time.

Alternatively, I'd settle for a preference setting to pick the default folder view.

Auto-refresh of the local file list wouldn't go amiss either.

If you rename a file on the server to another file that already exists in the same directory, then on the server the renamed file overwrites the file that originally had that name (which is fine) but then filezilla shows two files with the same name. For example a directory might contain:

main.php index.php

if you renamed main.php to index.php, index.php will be overwritten by main.php but filezilla shows:

index.php index.php

while it should show:

index.php

This is not a server side issue. Refreshing fixes the problem.

When Remember size and position of FileZilla is enabled under Edit, Settings, Interface Settings, Miscellaneous settings, and Transfer Queue is enabled under Startup settings, the Transfer Queue window does not remember where it was last set. In fact, regardless of where it was last, the transfer Queue window covers two thirds of the screen covering the local and remote directory listing, which are completely covered if local and remote Treeview is enabled. I have duplicated this problem on 3 different computers.

Like the prev. bug, but also FZ ignores starting spaces and puts the files in queue without them. Then - critical error.

Maximizing the main window, changing column's sizes - these are things I can do without problems, but as soon as the application is closed and then re-launched again, all those set sizes are gone..

Tested version: Filezilla 3.0.0-beta7, Windows XP

Paths without leading '/' character won't work.

I'm trying to retrieve a directory listing from a ftp server. I suspect that the listing fails because the path on the server doesn't have the leading '/' character in it. So for example if you would connect to a normal Linux server the path could be "/example-path/", but on this server the correct path is "example-path/". The PWD command returns the correct path (without leading '/') from the server so the problem is not with the return value from server. The problem is that Filezilla doesn't understand the returned path.

Every command line client on Windows and Linux I have tested work with this server. So the problem is not with the server, even it does use quite unusual directory structure.

The problem is with both FTP and SFTP.

I edited the log by replacing information with [SENSORED] tags, even the path it returns. Apologies about this, but I'm working in a company where I don't have permission to reveal any information about the systems we use, not even the paths on the server. But I hope the explanation above will give you enough information about the problem.

When connecting to ftp.sunet.se and going into, for example: /pub/Linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu-cd/feisty/

I get a list of .iso-files listed as directories by FZ. Because of this I cannot download them since it tries to cd into the files. I've attached a log file containing the output from a refresh. It seems to misunderstand the symlinks. Using 3.0b8 on WinXP SP2.

If a file transfer aborted and later resumed, there will be a dialog asking what I want to do with the existing file (renaming, replacing, resuming, etc.).

However, if the path and/or filename is too long, the dialog gets very wide and because FZ3 puts the box to a specific position, the right part of the box won't be displayed and you have to move the dialog to the left, so that you can choose from the options.

In FileZilla 2 the ftp user's password was encrypted, for example Pass="010006086069122079112100". In FileZilla 3 (3.0.0-beta11) the sitemanager.xml file in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\FileZilla contains the ftp user's password in plain text, for example <Pass>mysecretpassword</Pass>.

I think it is obvious why this is so bad. I could not find this logged as a bug anywhere and so have raised this to make sure it is addressed.

using TLS connect to a site using unknown certificate, when click 'Always trust certificate in future sessions', it only work for current instance of FileZilla3. After close FileZilla3, next time, it will ask again.

On Vista Ultimate, when starting and shutting down FileZilla 3.0.0-rc1 following message is displayed:

"Could not load 'C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\FileZilla\queue.xml', please make sure the file is valid and can be accessed. The queue will not be saved."

Also, see attached file.

Uninstalling and installing FileZilla does not solve the problem.

The path and file queue.xml are existing.

After FileZilla installation, queue.xml is 0 bytes - no entries in the file.

Removing queue.xml and restarting FileZilla solves the problem. New queue.xml is created with following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <FileZilla3 />

It is possible that queue.xml deployed with the FileZilla setup is empty instead of the expected? xml declaration line (see above).

The same error also occurred on following Beta builds:

3.0.0-beta6_win32 3.0.0-beta7_win32 3.0.0-beta8_win32 3.0.0-beta9_win32 3.0.0-beta10_win32 3.0.0-beta11_win32
