How about showing hidden files, for example .htaccess on apache servers?

That way you should be able to edit these special files without using telnet.

This has also been posted in the forum (dated 2001-11- 28 06:44): ​http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php? msg_id=813801

It did not get a response (is it possible to do?)

I wait on possibility the assignments "User" of several "dirs".

"Set as home dirs" not "Set as home dir" !. :-)

Option to clear quick connect list... :)

Please make the interface and functionality like SmartFTP

​http://www.smartftp.com/

One great benefit of smartftp is that multiple sites can be opened and transfers can be performed between the different sites.

be able to chmod everything in a directory and, if specified, everything in all subdirectories.

provide reporting on directory sizes (i.e. the size of all the files in a directory and sub-directories)

Being able to auto set the file attributes for a given file type (such as .cgi or .pl) would be very helpfull.

Thanks for all the work!

• download a whole site.

• site mirroring.

• leech a whole ftp server.

• follow anti-leech links, ie. ​http://some.server/download.

php?file-id=123

• download from sites require login, ie. yahoogroups file

sections

• support browser cookies to remember login

There is a good way to use the passive mode.

Instead of choosing use it or not for all the remote site or none of them... Why can't we choose passive or not for each remote location in connection manager ?

Nice Job !

filezilla@…

It would be cool if Filezilla minimize to systemtray next to clock :)

Is it possible to display in the local Dir-Window next to the Drive-Names also the additional information (as the normals Explorer does)?

Then a selection of Network-Drives would be much easier instead of searching around which Drive I wanna use.

A single proxy/SOCKS setting is fine for if I am using it to connect to servers on the Internet, but not so for use inside complex network environments.

Per site proxy settings are essential for use in any larger corporation, or supporting multi-client environments. For example, I work for an outsourcing company and to connect to client A, I need to use SOCKS server a, and to connect to client B, I need to use SOCKS server b, and so on, as we have a SOCKS server that acts as a gateway to every client network. In order to use FileZilla for this, every time I connect to a different site I have to go to the settings and manually change the firewall options.

Note: This would be consistent with how products such as PuTTY work. Currently I connect to the same servers via SSH using PuTTY, and for each connection I define in PuTTY, I can set the SOCKS server (and SOCKS userid/password).

In summary - please consider adding this, as the client is great other than this issue. (I read that the site manager was getting a make-over at some stage so maybe this could be part of that?)

Zilch

Auto disconnect when queue empties

In a directory in which many subfolders exist, it's really boring to search or browse folder by folder, because every time we leave a subfolder to the upper directory, filezilla jump to the beggining of the upper directory, and we have to scroll and search the folder we have just entered in order to browse the folder next to it. If filezilla could remember the folder and scroll automatically to the folder when back to upper directory, it would be a useful feature.

Hi, I'd like to see a (really minor) usability enhancement, upon choosing SFTP as the servertype, the default port remains 21, I believe it should change to 22. Thanks in advance for your great work!!

Was playing with AceFTP (​http://www.visicommedia.com/aceftp/) and it has a great feature I've never seen in a FTP client - you push a button and it syncs both right and left windows

• so for example once you are in the root of your

directory and you go down a directory in the right window - the left window follows suit.

Makes upload web files a breeze as the directories are both the same on my development and web servers.

I'd like to be able to filter files based on filename/extension. Also, it would be great if it was recursive, that is, I could select a directory, and download all .html files in that directory AND all subdirectories.

Thank you.

If you use FileZilla.xml instead of the registry to store site information the location of the file FileZilla.xml is fixed in the install dir of FileZilla.

It would be nice to be able to specify a location yourself.

In that way we could use a central FileZilla.xml file for all FileZilla users. So we can all use the same settings...

Thanks,

Simon.

A comment entry to each site in site manager would be nice.

Under XP I can not see my Network Neighborhood which would be useful for downloading large amount of files.

I use the Network Neighborhood to have automatically mounted dirs and which are not required to associate with a Dir-Name.

Frankly said, don't know if it's a Feature Request or a Bug.

Currently (v2.1.9a) you can only set a "global" default action when a target file exists. I would like to request that there is a seperate default action when uploading a file to the server and when downloading a file from the server. For example, I know that if I upload a file, 99.9% of the time I want it to always overwrite it. But if I accidentaly click on a file on the server side, I don't want it to overwrite the local file. Would be nice if I could have a different setting for both. This would also be easier for people to transition over from other clients. For example, CuteFTP has this.

Feature request: ability to filter by file type by adding a glob to the end of the directory text box. E.g.,

C:\My Documents\*.html

Same goes for the remote directory text box.

Thanks, Tom

A function I truly miss (I need it at work) is the ability have a function that lets me transfer files and convert filenames to lowercase or uppcase on the remote host (today I have to script it on the server ... )

Thanks in advance!

FileZilla settings.xml and FTP Sites.xml can be imported/exported separately but are merged into one file FileZilla.xml that is stored in the FileZilla program folder.

Because of feature request ID 777731 (see ​http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=777731&group_id=21558&atid=372244) it would be better if the FileZilla.xml is split into two separate files FTP Sites.xml for the site info and FileZilla settings.xml for the settings.

The site info can then be stored in a central location and each user can have there own settings stored locally.

Now I think of it. It would be great if a user can have a local copy of their "private" site info stored locally and "public" site info stored central.

Moving from WS_FTP, I like filezilla a lot. But I miss 2 features.

1. Having a drop down history list of local directories. It

looks like this is almost there, since there is a similar list on the remote side. I find I'm ftp'ing from 2 or 3 local directories constantly, and it would be nice to not have to keep typing them in.

2. I would prefer transfer arrows, rather than double-

clicking.

Please accept praise for Editing a remote file: once I associate gvim with the file view/edit, editing just worked. Several other programs I tried said they did editing, but after bringing up the editor, the changes never got saved on the remote side.

FYI: I also tried the free AceFTP, which has these, as well as a bewildering combination of other unnecessary features. I did like the ability to have open FTP connections to two different machines, and switch with GUI tabs, but it kept crashing and was really just too complicated.

So while I campaign for my desired features, I do appreciate the basic simplicity and cleanliness of filezilla.

This is a very simple request: Please, please, put the total number of files in the queue in the status bar next to the number of bytes in the queue. :)

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#1 - Drag and Drop to subfolders - both within the server and when dragging from local to remote (and vice versa). I typically like to drag files from local side to remote directly to their respective subfolders, rather than double clicking on the remote subfolder before uploading. Saves me some steps (yes, I'm lazy!) I also like being able to move items from root to subfolders if I accidentally put them in the root, for instance.

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#2 - Tooltips, rather than just status bar text for buttons. Either that, or more descriptive buttons (like the "selective text" mode on manywindows apps nowadays.)

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#7 - Does the remote pane allow manual refresh? It seems to flash but I'm not sure it's refreshing. (Updates done via other means don't always appear without disconnect and reconnect.)

It was suggested that I take these suggestions which I wrote out in the public forums, and put them up individually in the Tracker. So, here I go - 9 feature requests, all individually posted.

#8 - Allow uploaded files keep same time as local side file. (This is allowed in the remote to local transfer, but not vice versa)

Hi,

a new user can only guess what the GUI buttons do. I recommend to add tooltips to the buttons.

René

Sometimes, you just don't want it be remembered, right?

The local site should allow you to enter network path names, or allow you to browse to desktop and select My Network Places.

Suggestion -- Would like to be able to sort by filetype off the remote list.

I would very appreciate if the SSL feature can be added to the next release of FileZilla FTP Server. It is a very useful feature. Thanks.

or maybe something like quitting filezilla after completed transfer or shutting down windows would be nice

What about Rendezvous Support in Filezilla? It would

there's still have problem with some special case for the file name with multibyte like JIS or Big5, is it possible to make the client and server side to use Unicode for filename communication?

It would be cool if we could transfert files from ftp sites to ftp sites, just like FlashFXP does...

Would like to see a comment field to be added to the User and Group screens so notes regarding the user/Group could be made.

This could be from a seperate option in the TreeView list.

Regards

Jeff

It'd be very nice if you could add support for the AUTH TLS feature to the FileZilla client. Seeing as you already have the OpenSSL built in and even AUTH SSL implemented most of the work seems already done.

this programm is totaly cool, my smartftp went to trash.

one recommendation: i think it is more likely that people have more files in a dir instead of long filenames. means you have more way to scroll vertical then horizontal.

so it would be more comfy to have the treepane on the left beside each filepane.

ps: if possible, order filetype after filedate(-sortbutton) sometimes filetype-names are quite long, so you have to scroll to the (more often used) filedate.

For people who are not familiar with ssh keys. They allow you to connect to servers without entering a password every time. You only create a key and when loading pagent you have to enter your passphrase one time.

From then on you can connect to any server that accepts your key without entering a password. Especially when administrating many servers this is very usefull.

It would be great to have support for the putty key agent pagent in filezilla.

You run FileZilla (2.1.9a) and select a site to connect from bookmark, and after the connection and download / upload you go out from pg.

When you run the pgm next time and select the bookmark manager, the default selected item is not last used item (in previuos session) but the firsi site/folder in list

Please add UTF-8 support to FileZilla Server...

Please add the possibility to move on the server side a file or a folder using the drag and drop. Commands used to accomplish this are RNFR and RNTO.

Many thanks for this good product.

I usually use FileZilla to download iso images, that come with an md5 checksum. It would be very useful if FilleZilla comes with some way to check the md5 checksum of a file (perhaps adding this to the file properties)

people who try try to login to quick after each other should be bant for a while (make an option of it). So when someone is doing a dictionary attack or so will fail. :)

I'd love to be able to associate sounds with various actions -- successful connection, disconnection, transfer, transfer error, etc.

Site to site transfer ability

An option to trim files of certain amount of KB before resuming them, to avoid corruption caused by junk in last bytes of latest failed data stream.

It would be nice to have the option (off by default of course) to have FileZilla play sounds when various things happen or fail to happen.

The sounds should be user-choosable with some unobtrusive defaults (or maybe even defaults based on language preference!).

This is really nice when you are transfering a lot (or slowly) and have to wait to do X until the transfer is complete.

That's the only thing I miss from other programs. Great work people!

This is one feature of LeechFTP that I use frequently.

Usually "auto" works, but occassionally I want to

force an ASCII transfer of a file type that I don't want to always transfer ASCII (like ".doc", for example). The "Transfer Type" menu is nice, but toolbar buttons would be even nicer.

the option for quotas in filezilla server would be nice. either on a per-user base or on a per-directory base.

It would be helpful if the window state (maximized or restored) could be saved automatically when closing FileZilla.

It would also be helpful if the width and height of the "Local file list" part of the program window could be saved automatically.

Can you implement the AutoRename feature of CuteFTP?

In CuteFTP you can set "Preserve Case", "Force Uppercase" and "Force Lowercase" for each FTP site seperately.

The site details should include a text field when the user can add some description or notes about the site.

Hi,

I would like to be able to get to remote UNC shares while working with the FileZilla client. For example, I would like to be able to get to
server1\share1\file1.txt and "put" it to ftp.someftpsite.com.

To the suggestions for separate upload and download rules I add that you should be able to choose whether to resume, replace, rename, or skip based on file size; i.e. if the target file is larger than the source file, rename. If the target is smaller, resume. If the target is the same size, skip. The user should be able to choose what to do in each case for both upload and download. For a good example, look at FlashFXP.

Leaving age ("if newer") as an option is still fine. In fact, all the options currently available (2.2.0), including "Overwrite if newer" could simply be placed in an select box for each criterion (larger, same size, smaller), requiring a minimal code change underneath.

Before everything, your program is very good, easy use, and almost complete. I think it may be good to propose to shut down the computer, or to disconnect from the server, when the transfer was done. I also propose to show the progression and an estimation of time left of all the transfer queue.

It would be nice to have a favorite directories drop- down somewhere on the local side. Not really necessary for remote side, IMO. It would be nice to have global favorites and favorites per site in the manager as well. Maybe add it to the right-click context menu on the local side... "Add to favorites" or something.

Hi. What about an Linux port? I know that this wouldn´t be easy but it would make filezilla better usable for users with dualboot and it would make it able to use Filezilla as linux user.

Ability to play a wav file from the hard drive upon certain events. For example, set FileZilla to play "connect.wav" when you successfully connect to a server. A practical use of this would be if one was trying to connect to a limited user FTP server. Once connected, a wave file like "connect.wav" could play, alerting the user that he was finally able to get in.

Is it possible to add an option below Quick Connection to save information from Quick Connection to Site Manager? I think it's not a hard work to do, but may be very useful for me (and other people).. Thanks..

For each file, the transfer queue window shows the number of bytes that have already been transferred, like this: 37890695 bytes (30.7 KB/s)

There should be an option to separate this number into groups of three digits, like this: 37.890.695 bytes (30.7 KB/s)

Does the SFTP/SSH support include the ability to use a private key for logging in? I can't find anything in the docs or the latest UI that would suggest it does...

I'd love to have this login method supported!

(pagent support would be even nicer, but certainly not required)

clicking on an active user would show current transfer, direction (up/down), progress and size transferred.

another option is to divide the log window, and add the information on top/bottom.

Given the fact that most users are behind some sort of firewall or NAT setup, they are left with Passive mode for FTP transfers. If the server itself is also behind a NAT or firewall, then this causes major problems with Passive mode as well unless you want to put the server in a "DMZ." A sure-fire method of fixing this while still keeping both client and server behind firewalls is to only allow a fixed number data channel ports to be forwarded/unfiltered to the server while keeping it firewalled/NAT'd and out of the DMZ. The server administrator could configure however many ports they wish, but then the client software also needs to be aware of the exact remote ports that are being forwarded so that the ports will not be blocked when building the data channel.

This feature would only apply to the clients when in Passive mode. It would also only apply to the remote port relative to the client, not the locals one. A configurable range would be great, it would also be advisable to have it site specific, not global, since different sites may use different firewall rules.

Hosting an FTP server behind a firewall/NAT device has always been a pain in the ass. This functionality would make it much easier for both the admin and client. Thanks.

John Urbanek jurbanek AT uwm DOT edu

Nice product. Would be great to see the addition of a radio button to change the filename to all lowercase when uploading.

Thanks.

Hello,

what's about SCP-Support? Then Filezilla would support the most important File-Protocols (S)FTP, FTPS & SCP.

GreetingX,

Alex

Having trouble getting the correct directory listing from a VMS OS machine. VMS uses version numbers in the file name (Filezilla.exe;1). This allows multiple versions of the same name (Filezilla.exe;1 Filezilla.exe;2 Filezilla.exe;3 Filezilla.exe;4). When I connect and retrieve the directory listing it only displays one version. I need to see all versions.

Any ideas?

Running FileZilla 2.2.1a on XP Pro. I have a folder configured so that visitors can see the folder and can upload files, but they can not see the files in the folder -

• it simply appears to be blank.

FileZilla will not allow me to drag and drop files onto the folder icon, so I tried opening the folder. Of course, since I don't have permissions to do this, FileZilla prohibits it. As aresult, I can't upload files into this directory.

This function works with some other SFTP clients, specifically VanDyke's SecureFX and CoreFTP, so I know that the permissions are done correctly. What I need is either the ability to drag and drop on to a folder icon or the ability to "open" the folder without listing its contents.

permission is normally shown for unix file systems. but interpretation is not possible if you see not at the same time the uid and gid of the owner of the file.

Is should be possible to move a directory on the server with FileZilla! SmartFTP uses the RNFR/RNTO commands, but if I try to use a slash in a "rename dir" sequence, I get an error message. Best would probably to be able to use drag and drop for this.

I wish FileZilla automatically saves/restores property values for different controls:

• size & position of the main form,
• position of splitters,
• state of menu items: View-Toolbar, View-Statusbar

ets.

Add an option to automatically change directories on the remote server when the local directory is changed and the directory structure locally matches the directory structure remotely.

That is, if there is a directory foo in the current local directory and in the current remote directory, entering foo locally/remotely will enter foo remotely/locally.

If the current local directory has the same name as the remote directory, then entering .. will go up one level on both sides.

It would be nice to be able to right click in local and remote window pane and choose a refresh option.

If possible, please add View/Edit to the Default Double click option for local and remote. Currently, I only see an option to choose Open or Transfer.

The reason I need the default double click option to use the View/Edit option is so that I can specify the program that loads the files when you double click on them. Apparently, the Open feature is not customizable in the same way that the View/Edit option is. So please add it to the options for default double click! I hope that made sense, thanks!

Default double click is found under the Local file list and Remove file list settings.

Plz add support for transferring files with their names encoded in EUC (Japanese) for transferring files with an ftp server on a UNIX machine. Would be nice if this could be done per site in the advanced section of site configuration.

When you sort the Files by Last Modified it should still keep the Folders at the top instead of mixing everything up based on when the Folder was created. If you still want to sort the Folders by when they were modified then that's fine, but don't you think they should be kept at the top of the window? It's impossible to find a folder when you have a directory full of 1,000's of files! Very annoying. :(

I hope you can fix this. Thanks!

When a file is downloading FileZilla shows the transfer data rate in the status bar. It would be very useful for me if you added in the log window the mean transfer rate for each file downloaded (for statistic purposes).

herve.templereau@…

It would be useful to have the program recursively change file permissions thru an entire directory structure.

Michael Whitley whitlmr@…

The "filetype" (extension) should be treated as a separate column like filesize, date, time, permissions, owner/group. and not be concatenated with the "filename"

This would allow sorting on the filetype, and make the tool that much better as often times only one filetype is needed and it would allow the needle in the haystack to be found lickity/split.

Running FileZilla 221b Connecting to FTP Server that is using VShell.

Scenario: users with certain access correctly see a folder for say... uploads and they cannot browse anywhere else. This functionality is correct for that group policy. The home folder is set to this location for these users via VShell. The user sees the root folder and only this upload folder. The group rights are set so that the user can upload to directory but cannot request a directory listing. The process is intended for a blind upload.

Problem: Cannot "PUT" files into the folder because ls/list/dir commands are blocked to users with this type of access. Why does FileZilla need to list directory to issue the put command (i.e. put <filename> ...c:\windows) Is there a way to execute "PUT" without FileZilla listing the target directory contents or issuing an ls command?

Sample of problem: (this done by right clicking and selecting upload because drag and drop does not work)

Status: Connected Status: Starting upload of Z:\Downloads Command: CD /Public:/ Response: Remote working directory is now Public:/ Command: PUT services Z:\Downloads FALSE Response: Public:/services: permission denied Error: Upload failed Status: Starting upload of Z:\Downloads Command: LIST Response: Sucessfully received 1 items Status: Directory listing successful

Since Im sure alot of dialup users out there use FTP, and the hosts they have dont have the ability to bring files from another server. Im one of those people. I would like to see the ability to have multiple connections open, with the ability to drag and drop between servers. As moving from server - hdd- another server can take forever for us dialup users.

Having the My Desktop, My Documents, etc in the directory list would be very useful as sometimes I just put an image on my desktop and I Want to quickly upload it. As well, if a user works out of their my documents folder a lot it will allow for quick and easy access to that data, and it follows the Windows look and feel spec a bit closer as well.

Hello

It would be nice to have the same "root" structure in Filezilla as in Windows : actually, it's a bit painfull to find your "Desktop" crawling through "Document and settings" and so on. As in any other software, Desktop is a "root" directory

(hopes my english makes sense :)

As present in "CuteFTP", it would be so great to have the option "Add site to shell integration", in the site manager window. Then, it would be possible to directly upload files from windows explorer, when invoking a right-click on the file you want to upload. Bravo bravo for such a software!

An internal text editor in a panel at the right of the remote one could be usefoul to edit and upload a file withouth closing it, losing the "undo history".

Is it possible to have as options on Upload and (seperately) Download of an ASCII text file (eg .html) the Choice* between using

(a) Unix Line endings LF or (b) Windows Line Endings CR LF

Using FileZilla 2.2.1b on a Windows Me PC client, it appears FileZilla uses exclusively LF for upload (strips CR) and download. The Server (unix or windows) ought not care which line endings are used; browsers know CR, CR LF, and LF are equivalent for rendering purposes - the advantage to using the same line endings on both client and server is (1)At a glance comparision between ASCII file byte counts on upload or download - good confidence test etc and (2)Windows needs the CR for editing purposes if you download a text file - (unless one wants to look at the "black square" phenonmenon in Notepad etc.)

Thank you

• Actually there are 3 possibilities - the last being the

Mac CR

Binary mode automatically preserves byte count

I'm connected to a remote computer and want to transfer a file directly to a remote share. In the treeview, I can only see local disks. If I enter \serversharedirectory, FileZilla says "The path you have entered could not be found". Please change FileZilla so that I could browse the local LAN or I can enter the path directly.

Marc

While there are settings for adjusting the sort order for the file list, it seems that the treeview always has an arbitrary sort (the directories). It would be nice to be able to adjust this setting so that when looking at mirrored directories, the local and remote treeview is congruent, making it easy to find the folder which requires transfer.

First off, I love your work!

Please consider adding an option to play a .wav sound upon completion of a transfer (for both individual files and for the entire queue). I frequently upload big files (several MB), and playing a sound would be a great way to notify me when one finishes to I do not have to check repeatedly.

This is not quite the same request as #735804

There is only one client that supports HTTP proxy with FTP support - Total Commander. I hope that FileZilla will be the next :)

Could you implement support for secure file transfers via sftp?

A lot of site restrikt der downloads/uploads to sftp connections.

If you choose "Edit File" for a file on the remote server, the file being edited should be downloaded, opened with associated program (or Open With") and ask/automatically uploaded (by remembering the file date/time and doing a comparison) to the remote server each time the file is saved on the local machine (or if easier, when you exit the editor). A prompt asking the user "The file has been changed locally, do you want to update the server with the new file?" should come up as a confirmation.

mac@…

The only thing I have found missing in FileZilla is a way to save the connection settings to a file.

I have lots of connections, and it would be great if these could be exported. That way I could quickly give these to another person, or back them up and restore them easily.

There already is a way to export interface settings to an XML file, but not the connections.

If I understand correctly FileZilla uses the Mozzilla rendering engine which supports skins. The abiility to alter the appearance of the application and possibly extend it's functionality with custom buttons or menus would be nice.

right now, I can only get into log file and see what users are downloading now. it will be good to have something like table listing, so I know what files they are downloading now, and the speed for each user. thanks
