I am using 2.2.5a and want to upload a file to an ftp site that only allows blind uploads (i.e. I cannot see what someone else has uploaded)

I log onto the site anonymously and try to change to the uploads folder.

I get this in the log

Command: CWD Uploads Response: 250 CWD command successful. Command: PWD Response: 257 "/Uploads" is current directory. Command: PORT 192,168,2,2,7,55 Response: 200 PORT command successful. Command: TYPE A Response: 200 Type set to A. Command: LIST Response: 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. Response: 550 .: Access is denied. Error: Could not retrieve directory listing Command: PWD Response: 257 "/Uploads" is current directory.

It looks like it changes to the Uploads folder successfully but when it gets the error retrieving the directory listing it puts me back to the parent folder. If I try to copy a file to the Uploads folder I get errors

I think it should stay in the uploads folder even though it could not retrieve the directory listing. I have tried this with some other ftp clients and they do work as I expect them to. It would be great if Filezilla could do this too.

You can try this yourself by trying to upload a file to ftp2.mtxinc.com/uploads

Thank you

I would like to see the ability to map an FTP site as a network drive.

There is only one product that I am aware of that does this.

Thanks.

Keep up the great work!

A way to change file attributes recursively in subdirectories

A way to sort the queue, at least by size (to upload or download smaller files first, useful in web sites uploads)

A way to locate a file(s) on the remote ftp server... (better with name/size/age options)

Hi, a couple of very handy options that I miss from SmartFTP:

1) a toolbar button allowing me to specify ASCII or binary transfer

2) ability to have a sound play when transfer of files to their destination is done, thereby enabling me to immediately do a refresh in my browser to see if the web page I've transferred looks as it should. The sound is a great cue because I don't have to be in FileZilla to watch and see when the file has transferred, instead I can be in my browser and hear when it's transferred.

Thank you for your wonderful program.

hi,

would be glad to see options to use tls only for control channel (i.e. login and commands), not bulk (it's done in flashfxp). even better if this could be negotiated automatically (that's done in ftptls).

why? because that's all that most people need, and all that many servers are willing to provide (performance-wise).

good luck with the rewrite.

Support for IDNA (International Domain Names in Applications) according to RFC 3490 would be nice, so that domains with umlauts and other special characters are correctly resolved.

There should already exists ready to use libraries for this, so it shouldn't be that hard, despite that strange Punycode encoding... :-)

When I first started up FileZilla, it popped up with the Site Manager, and I filled in the site I wanted and went my merry way. The second time I used it, I clicked on the Quickconnect dropdown to connect to my previously entered site. You can imagine my chagrin to find that the Quickconnect dropdown was only a multi-choice button to connect to the address given in the text boxes. Quickconnect should have a list of my sites (optionally with a checkbox in the Site Manager to put them in the Quickconnect dropdown) from the Site Manager.

Tom.

Deactivating of the timeout would be a good solution for the following problem. For example inserting a 0 for the timout or a check button to activate / deactivate.

Our network is behind a proxy server. Requests of files from an FTP-Server will be downdloaded by this proxy server. After a virus check the proxy sends the files to FileZilla. The download of huge files (40 MB and more) will be abortet after the maximum timeout of 999 seconds (~16 minutes) because FileZilla have to wait until the proxy has finished his job.

Hi

I really would like to see the possibility to use a virtual file system in Filezilla. I have user WarFTP for long which supports a VFS - great. You can "compose" a directory structure for the user without any worries that he could find out about your real file structure....

This is my biggest feature request

Hello!

Beside Drag 'n' Drop there should be in the local file browser a Desktop-Level. that is very important for windows-user!!

If anyone speaks German here, there is a very good comparision of the several ftp-clients in the actual c't (heise.de). FZ is one of the bests (esp. because of Open-Sour ce) but there is a nice list of features that could be added!!

best regards,

Quentin

I would like to know if you can change how the commands are sent. The are being sent as capital letters and what I am taking to needs lower case.

It would be great if Filezilla server could support the chmod! Thanks!

I wanna position remote pane upper to local position like the FTPVoyager.

Filezilla doesn't support SCP, WinSCP doesn't support FTP.

The WinSCP-Developer stated under ​http://winscp.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197 that FPT will be included in WinSCP if anyone develops it. As FileZilla is a great existing FTP-Client, why don't exchange the sources among other. FileZilla can be improved with SCP-Suport and WinSCP can be improved with FTP-Support.

Would you please contact the WinSCP-Developer: ​http://winscp.sourceforge.net

Thanks,

Alex

need a simple quick one click or keystroke to turn on and off PASV mode

Currently symbolic links are shown with the same icons as folders. It is confusing, and it would be much better if they would be displayed more like regular files. Ideally also with the data about where they are linked to.

I would very, very much like to have delete confirmation in Site Manager, because in 2.2.5 it is very easy to delete a directory full of sites.

(I moved this request of mine here from sourceforge.net/forum/)

FTP servers are slowly supporting new FTP Commands:

this is output of FEAT command on Titan FTP Server:

211-Extensions Supported

COMB MLST MLSD SIZE MDTM XCRC REST STREAM EPRT EPSV

211 End

for example:

with MLSD support, you can make easy File Synchronisation, because it returns FULL file DATES even for older files.. original LIST command sucks...

with MDTM support, you can have feature to Keep file timestamp on uploaded file..

/Happy User

The latest version of WS_FTP Server includes support for Clear Command Channel with AUTH SSL connections. This is a very useful feature when crossing multiple NAT devices. There is currently no freeware FTP client with support for Clear Command Channel.

the current feature when you choose open/edit on a remote file is great, but we could take this to the next natural step...

1) being able to automatically save the file back to remote server. this could be done by splitting the existing "View/Edit" right-click option into 2 separate choices:

view - which would behave the same way as the current feature

and

edit - which would transfer the file to the local system, open the designated editor, and wait for the editor to exit, and monitor the file for modification. when the file is modified, FZ should ask whether to update the file on the remote server and push it back across. it should continue to monitor the file for updates as long as the editor remains open.

2) extend the remote editing feature a bit... you would right-click in the remote server pane, and you'd see a new option for "Edit New File" (or whatever you want to call it) which would basically prompt for a file name, create a new empty file and initiate the "edit" feature as described above.

Thanks for listening, and I love the program!!

(Also, sorry about two requests in the same message, but since the second request is dependent and closely- related to the first, I thought it easier than cross- referencing between the two)

I use public/private key authentication on the servers I maintain, and the ones not maintained by me uses this scheme too, also mostly FTP is closed. So SFTP with public/private key authentication would be great!

move up the "don't store password" checkbox in servermanager, so that one not enters a password and then checks the option and the pasword field is then disabled. This needs to be the other way around. Maybe this can be put into the logon-type group above user-name.

In the setup, we can indicate how many files can be downloaded/uploaded simultaneously.

But, I have not found where we can say, for instance in the Site Manager, that a specific site only allows a specific number of simultaneous connections.

For instance, I may have said that I allow 5 downloads at the same time but, for a specific site, maybe only two connections are allowed. So, if the file list is displayed, only one file can be downloaded (because only one remaining connection is available).

Is this functionnality available, or is it an enhancement?

Thanks for the work already done.

World, Sun System... somewhere.

For backing up websites it would be really nice to have a synchronize folder feature.

I could synchronize a remote folder to a local folder and FZ would automatically update files on both sides using the Transfer Overwrite settings.

Great work!

Previously I used AceFTP. It had a transfer files arrow buttons (like -> and <-) between local files view pane and remote files view pane. I think, FileZilla is missing that good feature.

Also the tree view of local and remote is integrated into one list itself in AceFTP, which in FileZilla takes two panes and bit buggy.

The disconnect connection option could have added in toolbar as in AceFTP for faster access.

Also, multiple connection option is lacking in FileZilla.

A file filter addition to the filezilla would be appreciated. right now if there are too many files in the directory there is no way to filter out the file except trying to find out visually.

e.g if I just want to see the file type with the sql extension there is no place to specify this as of now.

Currently, if you wish to change a small detail in an already existing Speed Limit rule, you need to create a compleatly new rule, define it, and then remove the old one. Another button could be added to edit an existing rule making this process a lot eaisier.

Filezilla server needs the abillity to block IPs so that certain IPs or groups of IPs are automatically rejected. that way systems known to be unfriendly/unwanted could be blocked by the server specifically, while still potentially allowing access to, say, a web server or mail server, as opposed to outright blocking that IP/IP range from connecting to your system. necros_mancier@…

Often developers use CVS to maintain their HTML projects but the do not want to transfer these CVS informations to the production server. Therefore I suggest to hide these - and other optional files - in the local view.

Other directories and files that are not neccessary to transfer are e.g. Dreamweaver template and library files (directories /Template and /Library)

Often files are stored on mirrors. So it should be interesting to download them from different mirror sites at the same time to increase throughput.

The tree view of the client machine does not include a Desktop key (the root key, when you browse your windows machine using windows explorer), hence, every try to get or put files from or to the desktop requires looking for it under c:\documents and settings\user name\desktop.

if you could only add that root key, it would be great.

shoval@…

I would love to see if the "Local filesystem" on the left hand side could be another ftp server. This way I would be able to transer files from one ftp server to another ftp server without having to down load and then re upload the files.

I believe that this can be accomplished in non-passive sessions.

Filezilla would connect to server a, and server b.

Issue the transfer command to server a but specify server b IP, then issue server b to port command to accept server a's request.

I do not know if this is too complicated and if it is only available to ftp. At minimum it would be nice to connect to two ftp servers and have filezilla maintain "tempory" files while the transfer is happening.

It would be a nice improvement if one could switch off local view so that only remote view remains visible.

This is quite useful when using drag and drop with Windows Explorer to upload and download files or when just organizing files on the server.

Then, the local view is unnecessary and it would be nice if it would be possible to switch it off (including local tree view, of course).

When using View/Edit I would like that the file could be uploaded on save file, instead of having to close the editor.

Then I could use it associated with my PHP editor :D Is this possible?

Many thanks -Jr

Would like directory size limits and ip (individual and IP ranges) blocking added. Would be great with a little additional security. bmezian@…

Hi,

at first: great Tool! :)

The Problem:

I'm starting the serverinterface with 'autorun' on windows-start. Often, the interface starts earlier than the service is available. Today, I open the interface and do a "Connect to server.." manually.

A feature like "Delayed server connect" will be a solution.

Thanks.

Hi,

It would be very useful for FileZilla to remember the "remote site" drop down per site, between sessions. This is so if you regularly navigate to a number of remote directories all the time, FileZilla will remember these for each site you connect to.

Perhaps FileZilla could remember the last 10 or 20 remote paths, say, per site, and also allow the ability to "pin" some remote sites in the list so they act like favourites.

Thanks, Andrew Weiser

Would very much like to see support for storage of Settings and User info in a database such as MSSQL, MySQL, or other ODBC compliant databases etc versus the local XML storage mechanism now in place.

This would make deployment and provisioning of new users a snap and give a way to hook the server into existing company's (and ISPs) provisioning systems. It would allow FileZilla to compete with the high-end commercial products.

How about an UPLOAD wizard like WS_FTP Pro. Nice function allows you to right click on either a file or directory and choose... "FileZilla Upload Wizard..." Where it would allow me to browse to a conntection/folder or choose a previous upload folder from pull-down, and a simple GO button that would upload the selected files/folders.

In the FileZilla client, when a user attempts to connect to a server, if the user aborts the connection before or during the LIST command, FileZilla should disconnect from the server. The user most likely wants to cancel connecting to the server entirely. Also, without the remote file/folder list, there is little the user can do (without manually refreshing the remote list, which requires such intuition) except upload to the default remote folder or enter raw FTP commands.

Hi,

One feature (apart from timestamps :-)) that FileZilla is lacking is a countdown showing how long it will be until the next reconnect.

eg. I may have the settings set at retry 999 times every 90 seconds, but at 72 seconds I may want to connect by hand. This isn't possible with the current build of FileZilla.

Speaking of retries, I tried to set my retries to unlimited by entering 0 but it didn't work so I assume this isn't implemented either? An unlimited retries option would be nice :-)

Thanks for a great FTP client!

hello, Normally I have the "number of simulataneous file transfers" configured to something higher than "1" - E.g. when I'm connected to an SFTP server. By setting it up to something like "5" or "10", I usually get shorter transfer times and very important: I can continue browsing directories while still downloading.

But then it happens to me that I connect to a normal FTP server which has a limited number of simultaneous connections (often only "1"). Therefore with every file which newly starts downloading from the queue, filezilla attempts to open another connection and causes the FTP server to produce an errormessage like "530 You are already logged in maximum times." Then I temporarily have to change the "number of simultaneous file transfers" in the general settings manually, which I often forget to change back to higher values for the next SFTP transfer. Furthermore some FTP servers tend to kick or ban users when they attempt to open more than 1 simultaneous connection.

My suggestion would be:

Create in the site manager for each site a new field which stores a "manually setted number of simultaneous file transfers" for each site. if left empty, it will be setted to the default number in the general settings dialogue.

thanks again for this excellent software! bye, stephan loh

It would be very useful to add public key authentication for SSH. Since Putty has this feature, it may be easy to use the putty code for this. It would be even better if Putty's Pageant can be invoked as a key agent, with the proposed public key authentication.

Cordially, ChuC

I am moving this to this area (was incorrectly posted on the support request area, sorry).

The line ending bytes are different for text files on windows and for those on linux type os [cr vs cr,lf]. A nice feature some popular ssh and ftp clients have (ssh.com, FTPExplorer) is to translate appropriately these text files when ASCII file transfer (either Auto based on extensions or Forced) is in effect. This makes it possible for almost all text browsers on both win and *x side show the file correctly on the respective os.

Please add this feature to FZ file transfer. If such an automatic translation is not desireable for some users, then may I suggest adding another preference setting to do this translation. Thank you!

Hi

I use FZ for loads of things, but one task I do more than others is to read lots of log files. The view/edit facility throws this into my favourite editor - ultraedit.

Ultraedit itself can open files by ftp but the file browser is clunky. But when a file is passed to UE by FZ, FZ then appears to delete the file. UE notices this and pops up a warning message - file has gone, close it?

Contrast this when doing the same 'view' operation using WS_FTP. Nasty interface, but the temp file stays there until WS_FTP is closed, and then it cleans up. You don't get any warning messages pop up while loading logs & reading.

It would make life easier for some text viewers if the cleanup was able to be switched between per-file and per-session.

Thanks for the great program anyway.

It would be helpfull to allow AUTO transfers to use regular expression rather than just the extension for definition of which files should have ASCII cr-lf/nl translations perfomed. A case in point: the file HECinstall300.30 is ACSII and the file hec3EVer300.F.30 is binary. An ASCII translation could be defined for HECinstall* using a REGEX definintion. This would allow auto mode to properly convert HECinstall300.30 and leave hec3EVer300.F.30 alone. When Version 400 or version 300.31 are available that definition would still work. Watcha think?

gforsthoefel@…

To be able to, from the command line, run a saved download, it goes to a time/datestamped folder, and then it shuts down. This would make for scheduled site backups.

When I use Filezilla at work I must connect to the same ftp server with different login. So I must create in connection manager different site configuration (one per user) with only user name different. It's usefull to have a login question when you press a connection definition, so you can declare ftp server with a predefinited user and when use this definition the client prompt you for user (with default) and password.

Thanks and bye.

Concerns: FileZilla Server

A means to be notified (discretely) when a user connects. Suggestions: play a sound / flash an icon in the systray.

On servers that aren't accessed continuously it is useful to be notified of a login, in case the admin wants to move files around in the user dirs.

I would really like to see the server's log file inside the console a link on the menu to the log folder will be nice too :-)

Would it be possible to add a parameter to "overwrite if more recent" for people like me who are at GMT+2 while their server is set at GMT ?

A FileZilla.pdb (6500 Ko) file is now part of the downloads and it makes filezilla download really heavier especially with 56k modems. I did not find if this file was useful. If not could you remove it?

I'd like to know who is the owner of a file when I

change its permissions. And the group would de nice too. Bye.

I just installed the server and was surprised not to see filenames appear in the ftp window after a transfer occured.

I get the number of bytes, the time it took and the transfer rate, but not the name of the file that was transfered.

Could this feature be added ?

I'm currently using slimftpd and am thinking at moving to FileZilla server, but I miss this feature.

Thanks,

I would like to see the the logging feature enhanced to include the following information upon the successful completion of an upload or download: date/time stamp at completion, file name transferred, the total number of bytes, the time it took and the transfer rate. In a corporate environment, this information in invaluable when you are asked to prove that an upload was completed successfully.

On the FileZilla Server Interface, it'd be nice if there were commas in the sent/received bytes boxes in the status bar. I can’t really tell what 2943652493 bytes is at a glance (3 gigs / 294 megs?).

just like download manager can 'break' a file into multiple segments and download them simulataneously...

i think upload also should work like this. so a file is 'break' into multi segment, then each and all segment upload simultaneously.

this should result in faster upload. especially for my dial-up which have to resume tens time to finish a one megs file upload...

Though I enter "22" for the port, FileZilla 2.2.8b attempts to establish an ftp (vs sftp) connection.

Status: Connecting to robocoder.dyndns.org:22 ... Trace: FtpControlSocket.cpp(759): OnConnect(0) OpMode=1 OpState=-1 caller=0x003a980c Status: Connected with robocoder.dyndns.org:22.

Status: Waiting to retry... (5 retries left)

It's great that FileZilla automatically retries, and resumes file transfers. But there are an unusually high frequency of sftp failures which I don't see as often when using ssh.com's "SSH Secure Shell for Workstations". If you could add some additional debug/trace information, maybe we could get the putty/psftp folks to fix this.

I would like see an option to have two remote connections to transfer between. Is this possible?

My company would like to have a centralized list of FTP sites for our employees to connect to, so that when someone adds a site to the list, it shows up for everyone else. However, it looks like you cannot change the path of the site settings from C:\program files\filezilla\filezilla.xml. It would be great if we could place the filezilla.xml file on a network share and then have everyone's local copy of Filezilla look to that file for its site settings. Thanks!

This is one of the best ftp clients I have found; however, there are a few hotkeys I miss.

A key (such as <TAB>) to switch focus between local and remote panes.

Keys to upload and download the file(s) or folders that are currently selected in either local or remote panes.

Nortel (and former Bay Networks, former Wellfleet) routers running BayRS use a lightweight FTP server for file handling on their flash file systems. It is limited in functionality and uses a simple fixed length file display. Currently none of the server types in FileZilla correctly parse such a file display.

My feature request is that FileZilla include proper handling of this server type.

A directory display from a BayRS connection using a CLI client is located at:

​http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ptichy/wfftp-dir.txt

An FTP client session using a CLI to indicate what commands are supported is located at:

​http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ptichy/wfftp-cmd.txt

Equipment can be provided to you for testing if required. Contact ptichy@….

Maybe I'm not fully aware of the intricacies of FileZilla but it appears that when you log on to a site to download (for example) you need to open another instance of FZ to head to another site (I'm a heavy pipe user :)) It would be great if you could implement a tabbing feature so only one instance of FZ needs to be open but I can log into multiple different ftp's simultaneously. My screen gets somewhat cluttered and it is not always clear what site I'm looking at when I expand the instances from the tray.

thanks Mike Smith

P.S. Love the SW. Been a user since version 2

hi, in order to use s/key authentication it would help tremendously to have the password dialog not before the connection attempt, but rather when the server prompts for it. this is because when logging in as user:skey you will get a hint from the server on how to generate your one time password locally, thus not requiring you to remember your s/key id and what sequence number you're currently at, or alternatively having a pre-generated one time password at disposal.

Per RFC-2228 supports four arguments to PROT:

C - Clear -neither integrity nor privacy S - Safe - integrity without privacy E - Confidential - privacy without integrity P - Private - integrity and privacy

As of release 2.2.8c of FileZilla, if you specify a remote site as server type "FTP over TLS (explicit encryption)" (or "over SSL") the client sends "PROT P", specifying to encrypt both control and data connections. There should be an option in the client to choose the level of protection you desire. Some FTP servers (such as WS_FTP Server) now support allowing a clear command channel after authentication for compatibility with FTP application gateways/proxies found in firewalls and NAT devices.

It would be very helpful to have the negotiated cipher suite for TLS/SSL included in the logged output for the client server communications. This would help to diagnose encryption level requirement compliance.

hello everybody 1/excuse my poor english 1bis/ filezilla is a exceptionnal ftp soft 2/it will be possible to add a short cut keyboard for refresh or actualize (i work with french version so i don't know the translation) in the view menu in french menu affichage add a short cut keyboard for "rafraichir les vues" regards niais

I am speaking to functionality similar to the 'RemenDeKO' or 'Remote File Fixer' programs found on sourceforge. The idea is that you divide the file up into blocks and use CRC to check the integrity of each block. Then, only the corrupted blocks need to be re-transferred instead of the entire file.

This would be particularly useful after downloading a very large file or over a slower connection.

The problem with the programs mentioned above is that they require user participation on both ends of the file transfer. It would be much more convenient to have this functionality built directly into an ftp server/client, so that the task could be automated.

I would love to have a dir sync (both remote->local and local->remote as well as a true sync remote<->local) feture. Curently I just down/upload the entire directory but that overwrites everything, not that it's super bad but it does download things that are unnessassary.

Ipswitch WS_FTP Server 5.0 introduced a new command "CCC" ("Clear Command Channel") which is issued immediately after authentication to signal that the command channel should no longer be encrypted. This allows for secure authentication via explicit FTPS, while also allowing firewall FTP application gateways/proxies to correctly handle passive connections (as they can now see the passive response from the FTP server behind them). Currently, only Ipswitch's WS_FTP Pro client supports this command.

I know I can edit the .xml settings file to remove QuickConnect server entries, but it would be nice if this could be done from the GUI.

I'd specifically like to see a right-click popup menu over each entry, which includes "Edit" and "Delete" options.

The Nortel Networks Passport 1000 and 8000 class routing switches use a VxWorks based FTP server for their DOS/Windows type flash file system. The display format is not recognized by FileZilla client. Requesting support for this file system. Nortel Passport switches are widely deployed network devices.

Interactive session showing supported commands and the file display format is at: ​http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ptichy/ftp_server_log_pp8600.log

As the SYST command is not supported, you would have to trigger on a substring in the greeting "220 Passport FTP server ready".

Would consider donating to support of the effort.

The ability to setup a file extension conversion list in FileZilla would be really useful. EG if FileZilla could change all .cpp to .C extensions for windows to unix ftp's.

The file 'FileZilla.xml' should not be stored under ../Program Files/Filezilla/

This file should be stored under the logged on user's profile Application Data folder.

Under Win2K/XP it should be stored here: [system drive]:\Documents and Settings\[logged on username]\Application Data\[Filezilla]

Under Win98/ME its somthing like: [system drive]:\WINDOWS\Profiles\[username]

with an option in the toolbar enabled

the remote folder should change simultan when i change the local folder, and vice versa

with relative paths

for example:

local folder: c:\htodcs\web\images

remote: \www\domain\images

changing localy to: '..\' would result in:

c:\htodcs\web \www\domain

and changing localy to: 'images\thumbs' would result in:

c:\htodcs\web\images\thumbs /www/domain/images/thumbs

It wold be great if you could edit files directly in FileZilla, with som ekind of "Notepad". In CuteFTP, it's already a very useful feature.

The only really importante feature missing in FileZilla is the ability to enforce disk quotas per user/group and (secondary) per folder.

One of the features of a unix permission system is that you can set the execute permission on a directory to allow a user to 'cd' through the directory without being able to read the directory. This means you have to know the path where you want to go. The advantage is that users (especially if they don't know our directory structure) are unable to 'browse' through our directory tree.

Most FTP clients I have used allow for this feature by allowing us to set up a site profile for a user that takes them directly to the directory they need to access. They are either unable to 'cd' up (..) to the parent directory, or if they are able, once there they see nothing.

When I try to access one of these directories using FileZilla, even though it is able to read the directory I want, it fails because it can't read the parent directory. In fact, it appears to need read access for the parent directories all the way to '/'.

I would like to be able to see a remote directory which I have access to even if I do not have read access to the directories above it.

An example on our system is the directory /datatel/live/collive/_HOLD_. The directory permissions are:

drwxr-xr-x / drwxrwx--x /datatel drwxrwx--x /datatel/live drwxrwx--x /datatel/live/collive drwxrwxr-x /datatel/live/collive/_HOLD_

Users should be able to retrive files from the _HOLD_ directory, but should not be able to get a directory listing from any level above that.

Thanks

Please consider adding a "follow me" feature into the directory browsing code.

What I mean by this is if you descend into a directory on the local machine, the remote automatically descends as well. the reverse would be true of course.

This feature would be a time and click saver when the local and remote sites are identical in structure, which I think you will find is very common.

The feature would need to be enabled and disabled on a per site basis, or perhaps have a "smart" selection where if filezilla finds a matching folder name it automatically follows.

Please consider adding code to display the file date on the remote machine in local time.

By default some ftp deamons such as proftpd display the file time in UTC. it would be nice to be able to automatically convert that to local time.

this would need to be on a per server basis

Hello,

FTP Navigator (​http://www.softwarea.com/ftp.htm) has some very nice features FileZilla ought to imitate. (Meanwhile, FTP Navigator has proven to be unstable in my use, hence my interest in FileZilla.)

In FTP Navigator, when you open the program, you're presented, in the right pane, with a list of all your servers. You can click on a server to establish a connection, or you can highlight a server and change its properties.

Here's where it gets good: In the properties for a server, you can specify both a starting remote path and starting local path. That way, when you click on a server to connect, the appropriate directory on your local machine opens and your preferred default location on the remote server opens. This is a very nice time saver -- and I can't imagine it would be hard for FileZilla's excellent developers to incorporate.

In FileZilla, by contrast, you have the option to have the program remember your last location on the local machine, but you can't associate different starting locations on the local machine with different remote servers.

I also prefer having the servers right there in the right pane when I open the program, rather than operating the quick connect pull-down provided in FileZilla.

Another nice feature in FTP Navigator. There's a text file containing all your server connections and the properties for those connections. That way, to transfer your connections and properties from one computer to another, you just take that text file and copy it to your other computer, and put it in the appropriate place in the program folder. This is great for synching your desktop with your laptop -- especially if you have lots of server connections to keep track of.

my user name contains 34 characters.

please fix this..

I dont want to put in my user name in the site manager. I want the option of leaving it blank and entering it myself.

please fix this..

instead of the standard error messages such as password required, login incorrect, etc It says unable to connect

please fix this..

I know that FileZilla Server is able to find out the external IP address. This solves the PASV mode problem for those behind firewalls.

However, any user that belong to the local area network will also connect to my computer via the external IP which is not what I want. They should connect to my 192.168.x.x

If I am connecting to my server via 127.0.0.1, then the PASV mode should also send me to 127.0.0.1, not the 192.168.x.x or the external IP address.

The above mentioned has been implemented long time ago on WarFTPd. Take a look at their version 1.82 RC9. I hope you get what I mean.

Thanks.

Take a look at WarFTPd on how they implement their user manager using TreeView.

Trust me, you will love their implementation.

Please put a feature to search for different type of files like (jpg, mp3, etc.) through all the ftp servers, So that we can find files even if we don't know ftp server's name.

ALLOCATE (ALLO)

This command may be required by some servers to

reserve sufficient storage to

accommodate the new file to be transferred. The

argument shall be a decimal

integer representing the number of bytes (using the

logical byte size) of

storage to be reserved for the file. For files sent

with record or page

structure a maximum record or page size (in logical

bytes) might also be

necessary; this is indicated by a decimal integer in a

second argument field of

the command. This second argument is optional, but

when present should be

separated from the first by the three Telnet

characters <SP> R <SP>. This

command shall be followed by a STORe or APPEnd

command. The ALLO command should

be treated as a NOOP (no operation) by those servers

which do not require that

the maximum size of the file be declared beforehand,

and those servers

interested in only the maximum record or page size

should accept a dummy value

in the first argument and ignore it.

This will force fore example the busybox ftpput cmd to abort the upload (filetransfer to ftp server)

Please Please Please add DAV support. There are already 2 other requests for that. DAV is way better than FTP in most cases, it's only missing a good win32 client ( I got all the great clients I want on Linux ).

I would even sponsorize the implementation if someone was to do it. It's just a matter of compiling libneon in and hooking it up to FileZilla's internals..

Just a thought, but it would be quite handy if I could share a single site manager xml file with multiple users on a network drive.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, there doesn't seem to be any option to specify the location of the sitemanager XML file though, either in the app or the settings in the registry.
