I consider both client and server to be among the best, my sincere thanks- the client is the only one I use any more.

I've been running the server for a month now, easy, simple, reliable... but not secure.

Are there any plans to integrate OpenSSH or OpenSSL with the server to take a bit of advantage of the already secure capable client (and other SFTP and SCP clients out there)

First thanks for the wonderfull tool !

It would be usefull to have button in the toolbar to choose between the transfer types. (ASCII -> Binary -> Auto)

Have fun. Pascal

Hi:

I am using WinXP at home and it creates a file called Thumbs.db in any folder that I browse with Windows Explorer where the view is set to Thumbnails. I would like to request that FileZilla have an option to automatically exclude certain files either by full name, eg. Thumbs.db or by type, eg. *.db.

Love using FileZilla, have been recommending it to many people.

Jules julian@…

Preferably it should accept X.509 certificates as identification...

Hi! Thank you for a great program! A small enhancement would be the ability to add a note to site manager entries

I'd love to see an FTP ActiveX control I could use from game scripts (VBScript, JavaScript etc.) or from C++.

Bei copy asccii files from Windows to UNIX you have special escape sequences, example ^{M for "Enter", and you can't use this files on UNIX without unix2dos command. Can you implement this command in you client? I hope you undestand my terrible english...}

I think is useful to preserve file time/date on uploading on both standard 'FTP' and 'FTP over SSH' [SFTP].

Thanks very much for your attention.

A your fun, Claudio Coletta (COD)

I've got a small home network and on my gateway filezilla server running (just the server no interface). To add users to the server I log in via network from my working mashine: Here are my suggestions:

1)

If I add a User from remote and try to share a folder of my server the browseable list only shows my local drives wich are not accesable from the internet. Instead it should show the drive structure of my server

2)

An upload and download progress bar would be usefull to monitor server activity easily (maybe for each user separate)

3)

A free disk space would be nice to monitor the free disk space on the remote mashine

4)

It would be nice if the Server log history (only the one which is at the moment shown in the interface) would be stored in the server so that after a reconnect (at least the last 100 lines) could be seen

5)

Change the structure of the Log file (as option?)

So that only One Line Per Login one per attemp and one each file transfair is loged

6)

Maybe add a logoff message and a server full message (like the welcome one) to the settings

Hope you read my suggestions and like them :)

Hey Guys,

Can we get a 'Save' button added to the site

manager. This would be useful when:

1) I have to go through a bunch of sites and update passwords. 2) I want to go through a bunch of sites and modify either the remote or local default path. etc....

That way we wouldn't have to "Save and Exit" and

then return to the site manager for each site we need to edit.

Sometimes FileZilla will list properly, other times it doesn't.

FTP-OpenVMS FTPD V5.5-3 (c) 2001 Process Software

For example, using the DIR command at the DCL, I can see that there are 50+ files in the directory. When I browse to the same directory with FileZilla, only one file is displayed.

Allow the user to specify the PuTTY session to use to retrieve SFTP information. Otherwise, provide the ability to specify the private key, and password to use by site.

I would like to have the ability to create aliases for directories. For example, the C:\FTPROOT\TEMP directory is displayed to the end user as "Upload" (as opposed to "TEMP") when they do a directory listing.

Hi,

it would be nice to have a transfer option to "force lowercase filenames" when uploading. This would be very helpfull as win32-filenames often happen to have a uppercase first letter and in case of digital cameras picture names are all in uppercase.

best regards, Gerald

email: geri.r@…

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?)

The software is amazing but it could be interesting to be connected to multiple FTP servers in the same instance (as in CuteFTP Pro) using tabs to separate the connections.

I am often browsing mutiple FTP server at the same time when working on my web projects, that is why it misses me.

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)

I think is usefull to set the files access setting (owner=rwx, group=rwx, other=rwx) on uploading. This configuration could be included in the site profile (therefore one configuration for every profile).

Thanks for Your attention.

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 :)

under ftp server it would be interesting to have a "all" check for the users rights read-write-....-select all

Pretty good software continue your good work

Nicolas Rodrigue nicolas@…

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.

It would be a good idea when connecting per konsole to the server to list the content of the shares recursive, with command ls -lR. Many other FTP servers provide this.

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. :)

Assuming the transfer rate is pretty stable, why not put the total time remaining for downloading the entire queue in the status bar? It would be EXTREMELY USEFUL.

Please. :)

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.

#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.)

#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.)

#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.

How about storing the PASV ip address in a seperate file, that way people using dydns with programs like DirectUpdate can easily update the ftp server, and carry out the service restart. To do it at the moment requires reading the whole xml file in, changing the parameter than outputting it again... kinda long winded.

Alternatively provide a small program like pasvipupdate.exe which you could run with the new ip to update the ftp engin

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

Would you like to offer an UPnP interface to your server as a plugin? Can your administration protocol work together with it? ​http://www.upnp.org/download/UPnPDA10_20000613.htm

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.

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. :)

Please add the IP controls in the server.

Thanks. yalding

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

Site to site transfer ability

Hello,

I would like to request the following feature. To be able to allow only a certain amount of megabyte that can be stored in a certain directory.

Meaning if someone has webserver space on my pc that he can only upload till for example 50 megabyte to my pc.

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.

It would be a nice feature, especially for whom use an ftp as a file sharing service

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

First of all I would like to congratulate you on the great work you have done. I have a small proposal for a feature enhancement you might like to consider.

In the file transfer settings, you can now set the total number of concurrent connections. It would be nice if you could set how many connections you can make by server.

For instance, you could be able to configure:

Transfer up to 3 files at the same time Maximum number of connections per server: 1

The reason is that many ftp servers limit the number of connections from an IP address, so that many times you cannot actually use the feature as it is implemented now.

Thanks for your time and keep up the good work!

Is it feasible to list in the server interface the name of the file being uploaded along with the username? Percent completed would also be useful.

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 very useful to be able to select multiple files using shell paterns (or regular expresions), like say: when I conect with a debian mirror to download packages I would like to select all the files

*_i386.deb

(or *_{all,deb} )

in a directory for tranfering.

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.

For Windows 2000/2003/XP add SSPI support for Kerberos instead of or in addition to the MIT GSSAPI. See ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsecure/html/sspikerberos.asp for more details. Regards Markus

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.

I would like to be able to setup FileZilla Server to send different welcome messages to each user or group.

Thanks, Charles J. Tabony

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.

The current method of obtaining a hardcopy listing if desired is the old screen print to the clipboard. This is untenable when a site has a few hundred files.

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.
