I've been using FileZilla for years and I'd become used to being able to move sites from one folder to another in the site manager window. On the lastest version this appears to no longer be possible.

When you only have a few sites it's not a problem but I'm dealing with nearly 170 domains each with thier own subdomaines on seven different servers and this was a feature that healped me keep them organised.

Can we have this feature back please?

The previous version of the FileZilla Client (2.x.x) had a very useful setting:

Edit-->Settings...-->File transfer settings --> "Preserve date/time of downloaded files"

Please add this to the current 3.x.x version.

in filezilla 2 there has been shown the total count of the files in a directory. in filezilla client 3 the total count of the files is not shown any longer. why?

this is very bad :)

I would really appreciate, if you added a checkbox determining the default UTF8 handling - "opts utf8". Older clients doesn't support unicode and I'm not able to tell everybody to send "opts utf8 off" command... Pleeasee...

The select entry window in the site manager is too narrow. If it could remember the width it was last stretched to, or if it defaulted to a wider window it would be better. As it is, it's too narrow to read the contents comfortablyand quickly, especially if there are nested folders.

The range is now 5-999. Why don't you let user to create his own policy? I think 1-999 is OK. I'd use a value 3 for instance...

Hi

I am using FileZilla version 3.0.2.1.

In the Quick Connect-function it says that you can hide the Quick Connect panel / bar but nothing happens when I try to click to hide it. See attached file.

I think that time until (FileZilla or) the connection to my server / web hotel is far too short. The disconnection happens too fast. Is it possible to prolong the time-out period or even better make it possible to set the time-out period yourselves?

Hi,

I am very pleased by the ability of FileZilla 3 to open and edit multiple files at the same time.

To make this feature more useful to me I would like the following;

1) Configurable default action on double click. I would like to specify that when I double click, the file in question is opened in my default editor.

2) That when a file is saved in the default editor, the temp file is automatically uploaded to the server without bothering the user with a confimation dialog.

Currently the dialog comes up for every save indicating "File has changed" and asking you to click "Yes" for every change you save. This dialog should have an option to "always" upload the file on save and when this is set the setting should stick for all future sessions.

Once this is in place I think FileZilla will be perfect :)

Cheers,

Blue-Square.

It would be useful on Unix/Linux systems to have the option to show or hide hidden folders on the local server, as we do on the remote one. An option in the right-click menu and/or Ctrl+H would be perfect.

A Setting for FZ to automatic upload files when they get changed, when editing a remote-file, like WinSCP does.

So you open up a remote-file and every time you save the file it get's uploaded automaticaly.

There is no option to Open a file in the contextmenuof the Locallist.

Also an button Open with... would be nice.

If selected, the drop-down list for both the Local System and Remote System shows the latest folders you visited.

Situation: When Site Manager is opened, the "Select Entry" window is always too small to display entire lines of text. Request: The Site Manager window 'remembers' its position and size when the user changes the location or resizes the Site Manager pane.

I don't like using all four panes in the current interface layout modes. In particular, I don't need either of the file system trees and I'd like to hide them. A layout mode with only the file detail lists would be much appreciated.

With the current filezilla version 3.0.2.1 I get data corruption when transfering files to MVS datasets since I cannot specify the desired codepage translation (as far as I know). This problem can be solved by implementing a generic possibility to send preset commands to the server after the initial connection setup.

Our mainframe consists of two worlds:

• plain old MVS, with ebcdic-codepage IBM-037 as the standard
• USS (unix system services) with ebcdic-codepage IBM-1047 as the standard

The MVS FTP server is configured for using IBM-1047 as the default. This means filetransfers to MVS-datasets suffer from datacorruption due to the codepage translation to 1047 in stead of 037.

The MVS FTP server however supports quite a large number of additional commands, like:

site TRAck site RECfm=FB site LRECL=80 site PRImary=5 site SECondary=5 site BLKsize=6233 site Directory=50 site sbd=(IBM-037,ISO8859-1)

These are meant for setting parameters for allocations on MVS datasets, and -the last one- for specifying the desired codepage translation. Note that on the FTP session each 'site' command needs to be preceeded by the client command 'quote'.

It would be great if it were possible to specify per site a list of commands that will be sent to the FTP server immediately after a successful connection setup.

We then would be able to setup a profile for the MVS-host and one for the MVS-USS-host and specify the desired codepage translation for each of them.

Such a generic feature might be helpfull for solving similar problems with other (non MVS) FTP-servers.

Of course I would be happy to help testing such a feature.

The remainder is a trace of an FTP session to our MVS server, just for illustration.

Version 3 seems to be missing some of the SSL support that version 2 had.

In version 2 I could connect with a servertype of "FTP over SSL (explicit encryption)", which would send an "AUTH SSL" command to which I would receive a "234 AUTH TLS-P/SSL OK." response.

Version 3 has a servertype of "FTPES - FTP over explicit TLS/SSL", but this sends an "AUTH TLS" command and the server I'm trying to connect to responds with "234 AUTH TLS-C/TLS OK." and then times out when sending the "USER" command.

Perhaps this is a really a bug with the new "FTPES - FTP over explicit TLS/SSL" servertype (in which case I'll be glad to submit it to the bug list), but since it's trying to use "AUTH TLS" instead of "AUTH SSL", I'm assuming that it's a missing feature.

Add a setting so when launching the "Site Manager" the application remener the window size.

I have about 120 sites in the entry list, most of them have the same name but the name differ at the end. Each time I open up I always need to rezise the window so I can se the complete name. DISTURBING!

I've been using another FTP client for many years but it was not stable at all. Since a few months i've been using FileZilla and it is very stable and very fast. There is however a small feature that i miss and that's the possibility to link browsing in the local and the remote window. When you change the directory in the local windows the windows on the remote site should follow if the dir exists. This feature is very usefull when you have a lot of directories and saves a lot of time.

When I right click the Local Directory Tree no context menu pops up. It works ok for the Remote Directory Tree.

Filezilla Version: 3.0.4-RC1

It would be very nice to be able to see a list of users (IP addresses) that have been autobanned and the time when the ban will expire.

On that list page it would be nice to white list or release a "ban" manually instead of waiting for the ban time period to expire.

Lower priority it would be nice from the same list page to permenantly ban a user/ip address if desired.

Thanks for the great program. I use it ever where and tell as many people as I can about your software.

Two thoughts for interface improvements:

1. Show the user name and host of the connected site in the title bar - for example: "Filezilla - fred@…" to make it easier to determine what site you're connected to when using multiple copies of Filezilla

2. The site manager button should have a drop down arrow that lists the sites you have created in site manager, and you can connect to them when clicked. This is quicker than having to switch your focus to the site manager window

Hi,

I couldn´t find this as an already existing RFE. It would be nice to have a function like in windows explorer where I press the initial letters of a directory and the selection goes to that directory.

example directory structure: |

• alpha
• bravo
• bravo2
• delta

If the root dir is selected and I press "d", the selection should jump to the "delta" dir. When I press "b" twice, the dir "bravo2" should be selected.

Cheers Lars

In Filezilla 3 is no setting to decide what happens if I doubleclick at a file. The standard setting is to download the file but I want to edit the file at a doubleclick. A little setting to decide what happens after a doubleclick would be fine.

FileZilla 3 shows the queue's size at the bottom right of its main window (just to the left of the RX/TX-LEDs), but doesn't show an overall ETA for all queued files.

So, I'm requesting to add "Remaining: XX h, YY min, ZZ s" and/or something like "ETA: 11:56:33" to that informational area.

Thanks in advance,

Martin.. :)

Since Filezilla 3 the FTP profiles are stored not in filezilla's program directory, but in the user's "documents and settings" application profiles folder.

This prevents Filezilla from using it as a portable application on USB stick. PLEASE make a setting for storing this file in FZ's program directory.

Many thanks, Geri

It would be really nice to have file exclusion filters (regex) to exclude files from upload and/or download.

There should be two filters, one for upload and one for download that would exclude a file, if selected, from being processed in the queue.

It would be particularly nice if you could also use this to exclude whole directories (and their sub-directories?!?), as well -- if you wanted to get fancy, you could allow sub-directory exclusion as an option for each regex)

And the comma separated lists (or whatever -- list box?) of regex's should be allowed for each site, as well as a global that works on all sites. (and a default that can be specified to be automatically inserted when a new site is created, or a button to do that next to the text box in the options)

Examples of use:

I would use this to never upload a thumbnails gallery for my PSP graphics software (the file is always called pspbrwse.jbf) so I don't have to remember to unselect it when I mass upload image directories. (or delete it after the fact, and it tends to be a very large file, as well, which takes a lot of upload time for nothing)

Also, to never upload the Windows "Thumbs.db" file that is created in any directory that you happen to view in the file viewer as Thumbnails.

There are other examples I can think of, as well.

I would like to have the feature with the drop down menu to connect to a bookmarked server (as in Filezilla v2). The little arrow next to the site manager button.

As FileZilla is a GTK+ application, it would be good if it would follow the GNOME HIG of including the GenericName in the Name itself (​http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/desktop-application-menu.html.en#menu-item-names). In other words, it should have Name=FileZilla FTP Client and no GenericName. This way, users would always see immediately what FileZilla is used for when looking at the menu.

FileZilla 3 is missing an option to easily show or hide hidden files on the client side. There should be a toggle option in the right click menu on the server and client view.

It would be helpful if there was a mode to toggle 'Synchronised Navigation' - meaning that if you open a subfolder on one side then the similarly named folder on the other side will also open.

Hi,

it would be easier to recognize errors when they were printed in red instead of green, eg. for "550 index.html: Permission denied".

Cheers Lars

FileZilla 3.0.4.1 does not manage "PROXY SOCKS5" connections (like in FileZilla 2.2.24b for example). Thus connections does not work with proxy configured in SOCKS5. Is it possible to implement this functionnality (which existed in FileZilla 2.2) in FileZilla 3 ?

Since my remote folder structure often is identical to my remote folder structure, a feature that mirrors local navigation on the remote site would be a huge timesaver. For instance:

Local folder: c:\myFolder remote folder: /mySite/myFolder

Double click on local folder "images" under "myFolder"

Is there an "images" folder under /mySite/myFolder?

• Yes: open the "images" folder
• No: do nothing

Double click on local folder "animated" under "images"

Is there an "animated" folder under /mySite/myFolder/images?

• Yes: open the "animated" folder
• No: do nothing

I have considered writing an FTP client of my own just for this feature alone, but just don't have the time.

Please make U3 package of FZ client. I'd like to take best [s]ftp client everywhere with me

More info about U3 system: ​http://www.u3.com/

For the sake of having a lot of users reporting, it should be possible to report a bug just by pressing a corresponding button inside of the software. I assume that not may users want to have the hassle to walk over to sourceforge, make an account if they haven't and then report. I assume that this way only geeks are reporting, and not the classical end-users. But end-users are those who make the best remarks/ propositions about usability!

greets tomakos

Hi, today we can't use -s with -d or -u options. Being able to use -d or -u along with site manager name will highly automate file transfers and make this a powerful command line tool too IpSwitch WS_Ftp and Reflection ftp have this feature.

I have a tool which should call FileZilla client with a pre-determined site manager, and filenames to be downloaded, automatically !

filezilla.exe -s "mysite1" -d <source> <target>

Thanks, -srinivas yelamanchili

Hi,

I have a server where I need to login with many different user names from time to time but I don´t need/want to save a site for each user name.

It would be comfortable if I could just leave the user field blank and be asked by FileZilla on connect just like with the password.

Lars

Hi,

Following the recent implementation requested in "[1209840] proxy config", I think that it would be logical that the proxy password does not appear in the "settings" window...

Thanks!

Hi,

Following the recent implementation requested in "[1209840] proxy config", is it possible to add a checkbox "bypass proxy settings" in Site Manager ?

Thanks!

Add ability to customize the FTP message for every FTP action; for example, if there is no data transfer, we should be able to change the message shown in the console, than just show "Connection timed out".

In user management dialog, inside the "Page" field, there should be a "Statistics" page, where some statistics such as Nubmer of logins and total data transferred (and others :) will be logged.

FileZilla does not connect to some FTP/SSL sites. Those sites have a requirement that a command be entered before the connection is allowed. This command is ccc. It stands for Clear Command Channel. Other FTP programs have the option to "send a command" before the do the first directory listing. This should also be a feature in FileZilla where we can run commands as soon as the client is connected and before we do anything else.

When publishing files, I often have to upload a file from one directory in the webroot tree of my development server, to the same folder in the tree of the publish server. It's very annoying having to walk both trees every time. It would be very helpful if, at the toggle of a button, I could navigate both views at the same time, provided that the folders exist. It should be simple to check if there's a folder with the same name in the remote view when you navigate the local tree (and vice-versa) and navigate there as well. A bonus would be if the file you've selected on one of the views would become highlighted on both sides.

It would be great if I could pick a file in the local view, and then automatically upload it to it's respective folder in the remote tree (and vice-versa). So if you're looking at, say, /www/sub/dir/files/index.html in the local view, and /www/sub/ in the remote view, and you hit "Upload to same folder", it will still upload to /www/sub/dir/files/index.html in the remote folder, and not into the folder you're looking at.

Obviously for that you'd need to know which folder is the local "root" of the remote folder, but you already have that option under "Default Local Directory" and a "Default Remote Directory" as a per-site option. This option could become available when you're connected to a site where this is defined, and you're somewhere inside the folder tree of your defined local root. The same could work backwards, clicking "Download to same folder" on the remote view would place the file in the same folder in the tree defined by your local root folder.

I often have to upload several files from several directories, and it would be very helpful if I didn't have to navigate through the tree all the time in order to find them. It would be great if I could set the tree views to show both folders and files. See for example Eclipse's explorer listings.

It would be great if it was possible to choose where the command console and transfer panels go. The server output isn't so important to me, but I don't want to turn it off either because I like seeing what's going on. If I could move it to the bottom of the window instead, it would be less of a distraction and take up less of my useful screen estate.

it would be nice to be able to select multiple files for editing, so they can be opened as tabs in an editor which is able to do so (eg notepad++)

Hello,

I can see that FileZilla support the MVS platform. It would be nice if you could add the support of the AS400 platform in particular the QSYS filesystem.

For your information the AS400 is like the MVS platform a proprietary IBM platform with a specific OS called i5/OS (formerly OS400).

Thanks.

O.D.

It could be a very fantastic feature to let filezilla remember the local/remote file matching when uploading. So if you simply double-click the local file it would be uploaded in the last remembered remote folder, without having to search for that in the remote panel, that is very chore and repetitive.

Hello, it will be great when private key support for the scp protocol will be added.:)

If I try to download 20-20 files from 2 servers (A & B), and I have 1-1 connection to both, I can't setup-and-forget Filezilla to do this. I can only limit the maximum simultaneous transfer to 2, but it won't instruct the Filezilla client to download 1 file from server A, and another file from server B, because it will try to download 2 files from server A when started, and the second download attempt would fail (I can mix up the download list, but it is troublesome)

So an option to limit the maximum connection to each server connection would do great. (this would override "maximum simultaneous transfer", so the user should set either "maximum simultaneous transfer" or this one)

Hello,

I saw that my previous feature request was closed because you lacked some information about the AS400 platform and the way the FTP was working with it. Well, as a start this is what I suggest what you could do to add this support . Add the following two commands when the AS400 platform os selected :

quote site namefmt 1 : this command is going to tell to the remote AS400 FTP server to put himself in a regular unix standard naming schema.

quote site listfmt 1 : this command is going to tell the remote AS400 FTP server to display the list (when you do the ls command) of its file like a unix machine.

Those 2 commands should be executed as soon as we are logged on the AS400 FTP server. This would be a very simple starting point which is going to give FileZilla software access to the AS400 server whatever the as400 file system is used. After that the support could be improved if fileZilla let the user to enter personalize d commands ( such as the above one). For your information the AS400 QSYS file system when you use its normal naming convention as a limited depth and does not go deeper than the following :

/QSYS.LIB/library_name.LIB/file_name.FILE/member_name.MBR

the above format is what the path is going to be if you run the "quote site namefmt 1" and "quote site listfmt 1" commands. the library_name, file_name and membr_name are no more than 10 characters long. in the previous path what you have in uppercase it is some constants that never change. So when you do a put in that file system you must write something like this :

put file_name.txt EXAMPLE.FILE/EXAMPLE.MBR

It can also be defaulted to

put file_name.txt EXAMPLE.FILE

In this case the member name (MBR part) will be EXAMPLE.MBR.

Anyway, you will find below some FTP session example :

230 xxxx logged on. Remote system type is . ftp> quote site namefmt 1 250 Now using naming format "1". ftp> quote site listfmt 1 250 Directory listing format (LISTFMT) option set to 1. ftp> pwd 257 "/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB" is current library. ftp> ls 200 PORT subcommand request successful. 125 List started. d------r-x 1 QPGMR 0 114688 May 09 2007 QAAPFILE#.FILE d------r-x 1 QPGMR 0 139264 May 09 2007 QAAPFILE@.FILE drwx---r-x 1 QSYS 0 45056 May 09 2007 QAFCGRPH.FILE drwx---r-x 1 QSYS 0 36864 May 09 2007 QAFCPFDDTA.FILE drwx---r-x 1 QSYS 0 36864 May 09 2007 QAFCTUTDBF.FILE drwx---r-x 1 QSYS 0 151552 May 09 2007 QAFCTUTOR.FILE drwx---r-x 1 QSYS 0 307200 May 09 2007 QAFCTUTPFD.FILE ftp> cd QUSRSYS 501 Unknown extension in database file name. ftp> cd QUSRSYS.LIB 250 "/QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB" is current library.

There is only 2 extensions at the object level supported by the AS400 QSYS filesystem : .FILE and .SAVF. For the latter one, only binary transfer is valid

Some additionnal information can be found in the following IBM book : ​http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg245190.pdf at the chapter 6. another IBM book about FTP on the AS400can be found here : ​http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/rzaiq/rzaiq.pdf.

There is also this link but you must dig a little bit : ​http://search400.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid3_gci1049532,00.html

Hope this help

PLEASE add back the "edit/view local files" feature to version 3, As far I want to help ... dont know how to program.

Thanks!

Extend the FileZilla client with a file move option (similar to the CTRL-X CTRL-V action in Explorer). In other words instead of having to delete the file(s) in the source directory after the transfer manualy FileZilla could, through a new interface option/menu, perform the delete after transfering a file to it's destination.

Hey, this is a great project, I am much happier with this client than WINSCP.

A few things:

• The timezone offset should be computer based, with a UTF offset for the FTP of the server. If I am working in the MDT time zone, and then move my laptop to the PST time zone, the FTP servers (in New York) have not changed, but my offset has. Grabbing the information from the system would not be difficult, so I would just change my timezone in Windoze, and the timestamps would work correctly (currently, I could change the 15 FTP access manually using Filezilla)
• Sync: it has been mentioned before, having the system verify any changes in my local folder and auto uploading on save, would be a very useful feature for a web developer, so I am not jumping around in folders
• Local editor: I use editplus to edit most of my files, when I am on the local pane, I should be able to right click, and edit the file, and maybe select a program with which to edit.

Good stuff, keep up the good work!

monte

{x:

1. Make it possible on the local size to right-click on a file and select OPEN.

2. Make it easier to save particular directories as individual sites (e.g. Favorites) for quicker navigation to specific places.

3. Make it an option to write the settings to the Registry so that if the XML file gets corrupted, settings are not lost.

Thank you!

I'd like to support FileZilla the UTF-8 / unicode directory- and filename-encoding for internationalization. (I'm from Hungary :-)

I love Filezilla, but it lacks one feature that I have seen in other FTP clients, the ability to split the transfer of large files on multiple threads.

On certain connections that greatly increases the throughput.

I need use 2 or more computer that share same sitemanager.xml to organize all sites addresses. If could be configure the location file of Site Manager, simplify the organization.

Tx!

In Site Manager, I want to be able to drag and drop sites from one folder to another as is with FileZilla 2.

Hello, I noticed that filezilla "beeps" when the connection fails, wouldn't it be good to add a sound when the connection is successful?

If i use vista for upload, there are many hidden system files in my profile directory. So it would be more clear if i could hide all hidden files on windows.

From a programmer's point... I'd love to be able to modify the xml file for filezilla server and have the changes take place in x amount of time (specified in the interface as "check for xml changes every x seconds").

The deployment reason for this is I have several load balanced Web Server and I wish to be able to provide redundancy/load balancing for my Ftp server as well. That way making changes to one file, I can propagate to the rest of the ftp servers with a simple file sync program like goodsync.

I ask because I believe it to be a simple implementation.

Thanks, -dan

The idea is to make a 'link' or 'lock' button which you can 'punch in' when you are in the same folder locally and remote.

When linked, if you change your folder locally, FZ changes the remote folder (if applicable) to the folder you chose locally. If remote is n/a the link gets severed and you get a message 'folder not found' or similar.

This could also work vice versa.

Would be very handy if you need to upload some files to a project in different folders (eg. css files, images etc.)

Would also be handy as a checkbox in the sitemanagement tool. 'link folders on connect'

I am missing a refresh button. I found out that F5 works, but I prefer a button.

FileZilla Client 3.0.5.2 does not have a creator code for OS X. This creates problems when trying to set FileZilla as the default FTP handler. I suggest using 'FiZi' or some such. This can be set in the Info.plist file under the 'CFBundleSignature' key.

I would like to see the servermanager by startup. It would save one step

When developing web sites I often find myself having to open each directory and 'hand-picking' certain files which I want to upload. I usually have a lot of files whick I don't want to upload and therefor I can't just drag the 'root' directory over to the server. It would be a time saver if there was an option under settings where I could add extensions which FileZilla should ignore. What do you guys think?

I have been using Filezilla for a long time and wondered if it is able to keep remote directory up to date.

When I open up an FTP site (e.g. to update a webpage) I sometimes have to go down a few directories for the page to be uploaded. I thought it would be great that the program could:

1. Upload the local file (in its sub-directory) to the correct sub-directory on the remote.

or

2. As I navigate on the local pane, the remote pane also corresponds to what I am viewing (or vice-versa, if I am navigating the remote pane).

Any such availability in FZ? Thanks

On my vista system there are a lot of files and directorys wich are hidden by default bacause there have there system or hidden attribute.

So it would be good if i can create a filter based on file attributes insted only of filename and filesize.

it would be great if there were an option to attach a simplified simple editbox that did the same thing as the "Enter Custom Command" dialog, below the log, or below the file list of the remote view, or somewhere in the gui

it would greatly simplify adminning tasks when using lots of site-commands for adding/removing users and flags

it would be great to add a menu with pre-configured site commands for simple administrative tasks, which could popup the user for input...

example menu item: add->user

would pop up for example an input box with description "Please input user name! ie. john" and an editbox where the user could input that (let's say "user1" in this example),

and then another box for "Allowed IPS" +editbox where user could fill "192.168.0.10".

and then filezilla would send "site adduser user1 192.168.0.10" to the remote server

of course this would require some kind of file that holds the menu items..

something like

[add/user] command=site adduser $1 $2 1.desc=Please input user name!\nie. john 2.desc=Allowed IPs:\nie. 127.0.0.1

or whatever, best to keep it simple so people can make their own commands

thanks

I'm missing a feature to connect to servers from my "normal" server list (with all their options) without having to call the Server Manager again and again. I do know the "Reconnect" command, but I'm switching between multiple servers quite often.

Transfers from VMS to MS Windows in version 2.2.32 stripped the version number from the file name (e.g. ABCDEF.GHI;2 -> ABSCDF.GHI). Version 3.0.5.2 retains the VMS version number. I prefer the version number be stripped from the file name, but an option to either retain or strip the version number would probably be best.

What happened to the automatic connect feature in Filezilla? In older versions, there was an option in Site Manager to automatically connect to a specific server at startup. I know this feature may not seem very usefull but since I typically connect to the same server, it's a nice feature for me. Thanks.

Currently apparently Filezilla has no consern for the encoding of filenames. So, if you are on Windows and you FTP into a more current distros of Unix the filenames sent to Windows will be in UTF-8. Because Filezilla does nothing to the filenames it will pass them to Windows directly even though Windows is expecting some other encoding.

This makes it nearly impossible to use filezilla for any filename that is not Ascii (ie, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, ...)

The solution is

1) add a setting for server's filename encoding in preferences with at least the setting of UTF-8 as an option (other encodings might be nice) (should be the default?)

2) When receiving a filename from the server, immediately call MultiByteToWideChar to convert the string from whatever encoding to UTF-16. (That means all strings in FileZilla will need to be widechar strings)

3) Call the correct Windows API functions, CreateFileW, FindFirstFilenameW etc using the widechar strings

4) Before sending any filename to the server call WideCharToMultiByte to convert the filename into the format the server expects.

This will make FillZilla work with international filenames.

would be interested in an option to edit interface view. for example not to show local/remote treeview. editing view was available in filezilla 2x

I like the option to choose a default action when a file already exists. But I would prefer two new options for "Always use this action". At the moment the options apply to current queue and apply to current session exist. The two new options I'd like to suggest are "apply to current site (all sessions)" and "apply to all sessions".

In FileZilla 2.x I had the possibility to choose "overwrite" and this setting was remembered for all future sessions. I liked this option, because I know what I'm doing and I don't want to choose "overwrite" again and again when I start FileZilla.

when I add rars to queue they always get added in a descending order (if I have 25 rars they will queue from 25 to 1), regadless of the order they are on remote site.

hopefully I'm not overlooking a simple setting ;)

some helpful features for the queue window :

1) Action after queue completion --> run command : excellent feature I just discovered. would be nice to maybe have this option available as a default operation after transfer completed, this way one won't need to re-add the command after each time he queues files for transfer. or even a way to save certain cmds one wants to use frequently.

2) an option to ascent or descend the order of files by clicking on the server/local file bar.

3) an option to move files up or down the queue (by dragging files or/and right click options). similiar to move to top/end of queue or end of queue or move up/down which some ftp clients have.

4) option to perform deletion of files using highlight + delete key (for specific files) or control+A+delete (for the whole queue). that's only available through right click options at the moment.

Please write simple release notes for each release. Lengthy changelog is too much for average users. Thanks.

What I'd like to see are synchronize commands like "Sync Local -> FTP" and "Sync FTP -> Local".

I use FileZilla to upload the pages to my website, and it can get hard sometimes remembering which pages have been modified or added, so sync commands will really prove useful, where all I need to do is provide the local source and ftp destination folders (or vice versa), and then all files and folders that are newer must be transferred, in a single click.

The current set of filters is great, but how about adding the following "Frontpage Files/Folders" that applies to both files and folders?

Filename IS EQUAL TO _vti_cnf Filename IS EQUAL TO _vti_pvt Filename IS EQUAL TO _vti_private Filename CONTAINS do_not_publish

Option for to disable disconnectivity after 300 sec when no files are transfered of timeout. or to extend this 300 seconds.

I have tried several times to extend this 300 seconds, maybe I am looking in the wrong section or maybe this feature isn't built in.

Support for if the connection is lost (because the timeout etc.) that it will connect again and that it will bring you automatically to the folder on the server that you had left open in Filezilla Client.

It is lot of easier because of the fact, I have to search the folder again from the parent directory to the folder to upload my files and that is alot of time consuming.

hi

if you could add this feature "minimizing on terry" on next release

i think it is very usefull

thanks

Hello,

You are right about the CHGFTPA command, but as you said it is annoying to change this parameter globally because in our case we have some other script which may rely on the default way that the AS400 list the directories informations. As you said, I guess it shouldn't be to difficult to at least let the possibiblity to a filezilla user to add some customized command that would help a lot.

Thanks.

O.D.

Dear Filezilla team,

• In FZ2 the effect of double clicking on a file was configurable (Edit or launch file/Transfer); I may have missed it, but it seems that it is not the case anymore in FZ3, and I regret it.

• It would be nice to add an option to launch the Site manager on startup (like in FZ2 again).

• Although this could be useful for certain user, I find the automatic notice that a recently transfered file has been edited ("Do you want to update it ?") quite annoying. Would it be possible to add the option to turn the automatic transfer of edited files off ?

Thanks in advance and above all, thanks for this nice program !

I really miss a "Synchronized browsing" feature. When you enable it (e.g., pressing a toolbar button) the program switches to "foo" remote directory when you enter "foo" local directory (and viceversa).

Example:

Local root: C:\Documents\Sites\Foo\htdocs Remote root: /home/xyz/htdocs

If you enter:

C:\Documents\Sites\Foo\htdocs\images

remote panel switches to:

/home/xyz/htdocs/images

I'd find it very useful when I'm uploading files to my web sites.

WinSCP has this feature.

It would be lovelly to have tha ability to set any FTP transfer to a certain time(hh:mm) and date(yyyy-mm-dd) to a list of files.

It would simply kick ass if FileZilla could record some actions(, edit, save, delete and execute them too).

I feel its missing a 'Apply'(/ or 'Save settings') button inside the 'Site Manager' window.

When operating behind a firewall, there is a need to connect to sites that are both behind and outside of the firewall. It would be a good thing to be able to enable/disable the use of the FTP proxy on a site by site basis. Right now, you have to set the proxy to 'None' to connect to the internal sites and set it to the proxy to use to access sites outside the firewall. Unfortunately, setting the proxy to 'None' loses the custom proxy settings (which I have to use).

This feature I am requesting to add is:

All enabling/disabling of the use of the FTP proxy by site in the client.

Add a new proxy option: USER@HOST FIREWALLID The proxy option has the following script:

USER %u@%h %s PASS %p ACCT %w

Please bring back the "Default site" option to the Site Manager. This option allows a particular site to be selected automatically upon opening the Site Manager. This feature was in FileZilla 2.x. For more info, see 1792193.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have the Dutch version of FileZilla. It's called "Sitebeheer", "Uitgebreid", "Standaard externe map". I think it's translated in English: "Sitemanagement", "Advanced", "Default remote path".

Entering a value here always puts a "/" in front of it. This is not allways wanted, because when logging on to a ftp server I am put into a directory not neccesarily the root directory. I want to enter a relatvie path from the directory in wich I'm entering the ftp-server. For example "./mainwebsite_html/agp-w"

Further I must really compliment you with this excellent FTP client solution. I'm running it on Windows Vista Business 64bits and all works very nice and smooth. Even the updates are very well thought off !

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

Thanks and keep up the great effort.

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