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.

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.

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.

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.

ftp.me.stendek@…

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.

Shell (like edit with.... , open, properties) could have integrated into the local view pane.

Also, multiple connection option is lacking in FileZilla.

Please consider adding Mode Z compression support, for both server and client, if possible. More information can be found here:

​http://www1.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-preston-ftpext-deflate-02.txt

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?

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.

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,

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:

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.

... a better compatibility for the xbox, because sometimes I get a lot of ZERO byte files on my xbox. Often when I want to upload a lot of files / or / files with small filesides ... ;-(((

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.

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

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.

claus.klein@…

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..

It would be nice to be able to shedule an upload/download to happen every hour/day/week/month/year

I use broadband I have 256kbs up 512kbs up these are mutually exclusive it would be helpful in the filezilla to allow mutiple connections for transfering files only where they aer in different directions. ie 1up and 1down not 2down or 2up

Hi guys

why don't you put some quota manager in order to limit idiot user from upload Gigs of data or, otherwise, link Filezilla account with NT account? They appear to be different questions but the purpose is the same: limit user space.

Thanks

Alex P.

Aliases maybe flexible, but it's hard to use when you need use 200 folders on other drive. Shortcuts were very informative, and very very easy to use, and it were one from benefit of FileZilla, not provided by any other FTP server for Windows.

Hi, I'm an Italian guy... I noticed that the Help is still in English: if you want I can translate it in Italian!

Is there any way to make the FileZilla service under NT live happily within the confines of restrictive access?

IOW, can FileZilla only have Read ( (RX) (RX) ) access

to the whole system, except where needed (log files, directories in which ftp users will be uploading, etc.)?

NO FTP server for Windows is capable of this yet, and I have no idea why. Though the most secure solution would be to make sure that a program doesn't even have Read or eXecute permissions on files it shouldn't be touching, it'd be a step in the right direction to know that even if there's a security hole in the server down the road, people wouldn't be able to do much except peek at operating system files. (Instead of being able to bring the whole system to a screaching CRASH because the program had the access to overwrite critical system files.)

For reference:

I change permissions across the board on NT systems to in an effort to create a more secure environment. Gone is Everybody (only Microsoft would give everybody permission to a system) and Creator/Owner (except for below). The default for me is to give Administrators and SYSTEM Full Control (RXWDPO), Power Users Change (RXWD) and Users Read (RX) from C:\ on down. The only exceptions are for C:\WinNT\Profiles (NT4) or C:\Documents and Settings (2K/XP), where I modify rights according to the user so that each user has their own little space (or have a virii/worms/etc) screw things up. Creator/Owner gets full control for the All Users directory, only so that people can manage their own files as they wish while making sure people keep their hands off of other people's files. I'll use Apache as prime example, only because it's the only program I know of (extra emphasis on "I know of") that can live within these confines. Heck, I don't even let Apache have write access to DocumentRoot, only to stop the PHP worms in their tracks!

If FileZilla could pull this off, it could have a HUGE advantage over every other FTP server product out there -- commercial, freeware, open-source -- bar none!

Would like to be able to define the directory path for the logfile(s) rather than defaulting to "Logs" under the install directory. Additionally, define the template for the filename(s). The template substitutions might be as follows:

%Y - 4 digit year %y - 2 digit year %m - 2 digit month %d - 2 digit day of month %w - 2 digit week of month

Example template - my_ftp_logfile_%Y%m%d.log

Currently, when connection to FZ Server's Admin Interface on the current machine (thus localhost) you never need enter the admin password; you always can connect.

On a machine where only the Administrator can log-in this isn't a big issue. But when several users use the same machine, they would all have the possibility to connect to

FZ Server's Admin Interface without restriction, since

they all obviously connect from localhost. Of course, this is quite a security risk. (Depending on how much you trust your users :)

So therefor my request: either remove the no-password- login from localhost, or add the option that one *always* has to authorize with a password when connecting to the Admin Interface, even from localhost.

• adding the "Desktop" to the local treeview might come

in REAL handy.

• "Queue" -> "use multiple connections" is checked

always when starting up fileZillA, even if I deactivated it in the earlier session. My suggestion: Put this feature to the Site Manager -> Advanced: on/off checkbox

• remembering/saving the column width (filename,

filesize, date, time, local filename - everything) on exit would be good!

Would it be possible to add "wake on lan" feature in Filezilla? It would allow to remotely turn Filezilla server on or off.

To the FZ Server's developer, while I am seeking more free Secure FTP Server, they are just only in Linux base platform :-(

For a Windows bae platform, no one do better than FileZilla for the free FTP Server, but for nowadays, all people need the more security fetuares, so I hope the developer can make a FZ FTP Server build-in SSH2 like the Linux base FTP Server. Or SSL/ RSA etc security fetuare :-)

Jimmy Chan ​http://www.wusogorphoto.net A greatful Photography web site :-)

drag-and-drop only works for items that are uploaded (i.e. anywhere -> filezilla client). The reverse does not (it only allows interaction with the left pane of the client, not with the desktop). It would be nice if I could drag-and-drop from client's right pane to anywhere on the desktop / pc, as opposed to having to navigate via left pane tree.

will there be a Norwegian translation ??? maby i could help ???

You should have the ability to move files from a directory to another directory of the same FTP server.

This can be done with the FTP commands RNFR/RNTO. For example: RNFR /myhome/olddir/myfile.zip RNTO /another/directory/myfile.zip

The GUI should allow you to select some files from the remote file panel and chose a "Move to..." option (say from the right-click menu). After entering the destination directory, Filezilla should issue a sequence of RNFR/RNTO commands for each selected file.

Thank you.

I think this the best ftp client~

But in Taiwan and China, there are lots of encoding methods for file name. In Taiwan, maybe you perfer to use UTF-8, someone perfer to use Big5, etc. As a result, if one's chinese file name using Big5, then I get some chinese files from him, I will get error file name. Although I can change remote character set to disappear the correct file name, but when I download it, it also use the remote files name to save. So, in my nautilus, I can't disappear the correct file name. SO mybe gFTP can auto change the encoding Big5 to UTF-8 when I download file from a Big5 server. Or mybe can add an option that we can choise which encoding we want to use in local.

There is the something that I upload a file to a different encoding characters server.

(ps most of ftp server in Taiwan, using Big5 encode, not UTF-8 , but filezilla defaule using UTF-8)

Thanks for your contribution to Filazilla....

I normally use the option "overwrite if newer". When I connect to a server in a different time zone, that server uses its local time as the date of the file. FileZilla compares that timestamp with the timestamp on my machine and often makes a wrong decision about which file is newer. If I could associate a time zone with each site I would be able to trust the overwrite option without having to remember what time zone a site is in.

A "time zone differential" setting for each site would also be useful, but only so long as I was using FileZilla from my home or office, not while I am traveling and using my laptop.

If FileZilla already has such an option, it is well hidden and not indexed in the help file.

It would be great if one could set commands to execute directly after a connect, similar to the <Server->Enter Raw FTP Command> feature. This setting should be available per site.

The reason is that some servers demand custom settings (for example for the encoding) and it'd be nice to have them set automatically. It could also be used for the umask commands.

I use FileZilla FTP Server and like it very much. The only thing I miss from the Server Interface is the option of confirming the interface application exit. Sometimes I click on the [X] of the interface to send it back to the system tray and get disappointed when it closes. I think an "application exit confirmation" popup could solve my problem.

I don't think it would be hard to do an option like this.

When sorting files by date, folders appear at the bottom of the list. In WS_FTP, when you sort by date you have the option to list folders first. I would like to request a feature that would allow folders to be listed first when sorting by newest file date.

can't beleave there hasn't been a RFE for this... but can't find it.

Maybe there is, but not documentated... An export for all sitemanager entry's.... (and import ofcouse)...

When exporting now you only get the settings from filezilla, not all the websites-ftp'locations you've enterd.

When I try the "Copy URL to Clipboard" menu item under Server, I get a return in the format: <login>@<ftp server address><current directory>

I was under the impression this would create an actual URL, something like: ​http://<ftp server address><current directory>

While on this topic, it would be VERY nice if the remote file context menu would offer an option of "Copy URL to Clipboard" and put into the clipboard this kind of line: ​http://<ftp server address><current directory><selected file(s)>

All the mirrors say that the file cannot be found for 2.2.12.

Some features I'd like to be seen in next FileZilla's version:

Browse/send/receive files through a network computer.

Now it's only allowed hard drivers and removable drivers

Move files/folders on the remote server

My idea: A feature to display the whole size of all directories and files on a remote server and at last count them all.

Bye Nameless

My server has multiple hard drives and shared folders on each hard drive because any single HDD cannot hold all the info I wish to share. If I list all the shared folders separately I can only name one to be home, when that is done, I can't navigate to another shared folder on the server. Is there a way to make virtual directories where proxy folders for all the shared folders can be stored so that the FileZilla Server settings holding the virtual directory path information will automatically redirect the FTP browser/client to the correct directory (basically like Windows IIS)? I use FTP Surfer as my FTP browser.

MaQ

It would be nice to have an option to have it the local directory be monitored for changes and if there is one made to a file then upload it to whatever directory is listed in the remote section.

Currently, for edit/view files we have the option to set a global editor (e.g. notepad) and, on a seperate list, per file extension (e.g. "gif") a own editor. I would enjoy a option

[x] Use Windows file type assignments for unknown files

If this option is checked, and I want to edit/view the files for which no special assignment is made, the windows file type settings are used.

I do not want to administrate all file settings for all file types, e.g. multiple graphics format, .php, .php3, twice (in windows and FZ). Of course windows settings does not always match, but then they could still be overwritten by creating an assignment in FZ.

When using the standard local and remote views, I always have to scroll to the top of the list to press the .. button (up one level) I would suggest locating a Up One Level button to the right of the local and remote site path combo boxes.

This feature has shown up in other FTP clients and when I don't have it, I greatly miss it.

Thanks,

There should be a mechanism which does one or the other of the following:

(Easy, Preferred, global setting) In the General Settings Options menu, there should be a menu which will allow specific kinds of access to the FTP server. It could include checkboxes for the types of access the adminstrator desires such as "Standard" for usual port 21 activity, "SSL" to enable only ssl, "TLS" to enable only tls. It should also have the ability to select one at a time, a combination of two, or all three. This would give the administrator the ability to only permit secure access, restrict to one method of secure commication, allow open access, or any combination of the former. FileZilla Server 0.96a's default behavior is to accept and allow all connections despite SSL/TLS being enabled. Therefore the administrator cannot restrict to secure-only communication, the user has to make that choice in their FTP client.

(Difficult, Admins get more control, per user/group setting) Give the ability for specific users/groups to access various folders to which their respective groups/users permit access depending on if the session is open or encrypted. Example: User1 belongs to Group1 and Group2. Group1 is the user's home folder with public access. Group2 is a data-sensitive folder that requires an encrypted connection to gain access. If user is logged in with standard ftp access, the user will be denied access to Group2 until the user logs in with SSL/TLS.

I am *very* pleased with the current release, this feature request will bring FileZilla server up to corporate standards where security is a prerequisite.

Hello,

It would be great if there would be a function that when you connect to a particular site it goes to a certain local and remote directory.

That you could in the site editing (in the site manager) choose the directories.

Thank you

Hi,

It'd be great if FileZilla (client) could be instructed to use bandwidth only if the Internet connection is idle.

Thanks.

Could you please add an option to monitor each IP for the number of failed login attempts.

In the option, once the threshold (user configurable) for consecutived failed logins, over a certain time interval (user configurable), has been reached, the server places the offending IP into an auto block list for a certain amount of time (user configurable). Also please include an override for anonymous accounts. And, please add a user configurable escalation rate and the ability to send a notification (i.e. via email, SMS, pager, etc.).

Thanks.

Do not require password on SSH2 connections.

Even when Filezilla uses Pageant to obtain the user's authentication credentials, it still pops up the "Enter Password" dialog. Moreover, you actually have to type something in order to click OK, because the UI does not accept empty passwords.

as seen in WinSCP: one click an a directory within identical trees (local and remote) makes a change of directory local AND remote.

​http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_navigate#synchronize_browsing ... Synchronize Browsing When you change directory in one file panel and this feature is turned on, WinSCP automatically opens the same directory in an opposite panel. For example if you change the directory in remote panel from /home/mprikryl/public_html to /home/mprikryl/public_html/wiki and directory D:\documents\www is opened in local panel, WinSCP will automatically open local directory D:\documents\www\wiki for you.

You can find this useful together with function Compare directories for manual synchronization. ...

Please add a feature that allows Backup, Export, Import of all users in Filezilla SERVER. Alternatively indicate how this can be done. Thanks for a great product

Could the developement team include skey/opie support?

Filezilla recognize the server is asking for skey/opie and prompt the user the enter the skey/opie password instead of plain text password.

It would be good if we could set permissions on files instead of just folders. Which is especially useful if wildcards can be used in the filenmes, as this would allow for, for exmaple allowing only readme.txt files to be visible/downloaded from a particular path.

It would be nice if the NSIS script was modified to let the user only install the admin interface, instead of requiring install of the server. This is so you can install the admin on a different computer to do remote admin.

Although it's possible to set a number for concurrent file transmissions, it's impossible to set a number for download and upload queues seperately. I'm on an assymetrical DSL line (>1.5Mbps upstream, 96k upstream), which means I can't upload very quickly but can download pretty much as fast as the FTP server allows me; I would like to be able to download more than one file concurrently, but only upload one file at a time.

I would like to be able to specify that files/directories matching a certain mask should not be transferred as part of a recursive upload/download.

This would make it possible to upload/download from subversion controlled directory trees without having to do an export first to remove all of the .svn directories.

Many thanks for all your work..

FileZilla Server is great, been running it now for a while in a pretty highload setup. Only feature that i can see that might be helpful is a per user/group ssl setting. This way you could force a user or group to use ssl, without forcing everyone else to use ssl.

Thanks

hi,

there should be a "move file" option from the context menu, because always having to drag&drop files is very anoying :)

-Dominik Weber

It would be really nice if FileZilla started supporting this, some other clients do (including Putty which you guys use for the ssh portion of the client).

The 'clear' item in the dropdown menu of Quickconnect does nothing except clearing the inputboxes. I think I seldome need this function.

What I would like it to do is clear recent host list. Can you rework on this?

Hi,

In my company we work with unix servers, and we will often transfert files between their.

I want to replace local brower with another ftp browser.

Thanks

PS : Sorry for my French english

When you are not connected to a server, then disable or gray out the "Enter Command" feature.

Also maybe add a hotkey for it such as CTRL+R.

Add

.ini .py (python source code)

to the list of files to be transfered in ASCII

Save the actual size of the windows, if I close the window of FileZilla when is maximized it should be remain like that, because when I start again FileZilla it go to it original state.

In others words it not save the change I made to the interface, remove some toolbars, resize the windows and other things, is a little buggy resize the window again...
