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.

#3 - Rather than having the last connected site available by clicking on the 'R' button, it would be cool if you listed the last server as item at the top of connection manager drop-down, maybe with a line dividing the last connection from the sites. By the way, I really like how you can get to the sites by navigating the drop-down, as opposed to having to open the manager itself. Nicely done!

#4 - If you've ever used CuteFTP Pro, you know what I mean by this: have the file system tree as a drop-down rather than a seperate pane on the local side. Gives more real estate to the file list.

#5 - In the interest of saving real estate, it would be nice to have the message log appear under the remote pane only, so that the vertical space above the local side can be greater. Maybe even make the message log so that you can show and hide by clicking on a tab in or around the remote pane.

#6 - Windows Explorer style nav buttons over panes, like "back" and "up one level". With that, the ability to hide the ".." in the file list would be nice.

#9 - CuteFTP and WSFTP site import. I spent about 30 minutes converting my CuteFTP ini file to the proper XML format, so I know it can be done automatically. And yes, the 30 minutes was a time savings, with the number of sites I had to set up.

Would it be possible to associate unique sounds (in CPL) to the major FTP actions (transfer failed, transfer successful, connect successful, connect failure, etc)??

Now when filezilla goes to parent directory it makes selected '..' directory on top of list.

I'll save some time if filezilla in this case makes selected directory from which I'm returned.

P.S. Sorry for bad english.

As it is now, when transferring directory structures, FZ has a strange way of doing it. Instead of transferring all files and directories in each top-level directory, it seems to transfer some files and dirs in each TLD, then goes to a "level two" in each TLD, and then a "level three" in each TLD. At least, that's how it seems.

A better way would be to transfer all files and dirs in each TLD before going to the next TLD. For example, consider this remote tree:

/

dirA

level1

level2

dirB

level1

level2

dirC

If that remote tree was transferred to the local tree with FZ, FZ *should* transfer /dirA, /dirA/level1, and /dirA/level1/level2 *before* transferring anything in /dirB. It should then transfer everything in /dirB before moving on to /dirC.

The reason is simple: if a transfer is aborted, and the queue is lost (with FZ currently unable to export large queues, this is a very real problem), you can easily find what directories have been completely transferred, and which ones have been partially transferred, and proceed to transfer the rest. As it is now, if you lose your queue, the only way to be sure you get all of the files is to START ALL OVER AGAIN. When transferring 30,000+ files totalling several GIGABYTES in size this is VERY frustrating.

I hope that was understandable enough. If you need more clarification, let me know.

I would like to be able to right-click on a remote folder or file and be able to change ownership (same way you can change permissions).

Thanks

troy@…

Would like to see the feature of Right Click mouse - and there is an option to transfer the file to the ftp server that we choose.

the right click mouse will appears when we are in the explorer just like cuteftp or winzip.

I've been very impressed with the FileZilla tool thus far. However, I can see a possible improvement. Hopefully, I haven't overlooked this functionality in the tool or it's documentation.

I'd like the ability to invoke FileZilla from the command line. If I had a FileZilla Queue saved to a file, I'd like the ability to from a command line do something like:

"C:\ftpdir\filezilla.exe 'myqueue.xml' - processQueue=quietly -logfile=myqueue.log"

and, without the interface opening up, see that FileZilla is processing the queue and putting the log information into the given log file.

Is this functionality present? Is it possible? Do you think it may be included in the future?

Can I help :)

Thanks in advance for your response,

Joseph

Hi, I use FileZilla for thanks.

My Last favor is that I want know the remain time

without clicking on Filezilla icon on TaskBar on the bottom of screen.

If there are multiple file that download or upload, show

the longest left time in title like attached ScreenShot.

Briefly, I want know when Network is ready :D

Thanks for reading.

The way the transfer process is design causes an unnecessary slow down when transferring a large number of files at once. The process appears to be:

1) parses through the directories to get a list of files to transfer. 2) after parsing through all directories and generating a list of files to transfer, place an entry in the queue for each item in the list. 3) after placing each atem from the list into the queue begin tranferring the files

By changing the process to begin tranferring files as they get entered into the queue would speed things up dramatically when tranferring a lot of files. Furthermore, in this regard it would then further speed things up to begin adding files to the queue as they are gathered instead of waiting to build the entire list of files to transfer.

Thanks!

Hi there

How can I force a refresh on a remote directory automatically after an upload (like in CuteFTP) ?

If this is not implemented yet, is it easy to add the feature in a future release ?

Regards

Spiros

sdeft@…

I'd like FileZilla to be able to delete from the server the files that no longer exist on my PC. Then when I upload my website, I know that any changed filenames or whatever will not leave wasteful orphaned files on the server.

This suggestion is similar to others: *the rsync one (755621) *file synchronisation (721808)

and differs in that I would not expect FileZilla to delete any local files. It is likely that my suggestion could be rolled up with 721808, i.e. FileZilla would provide a website upload capability that worked by file synchronisation to make all the server files a proper subset of the local files.

As a user, one of the main features that I need with FTP clients is a simple, saved list of all things that are uploaded and downloaded, from where, to where, and when. I can get that by setting the Debug list to save to a log file - but it doesn't say where thing come from or go to, it doesn't say when, and (most importantly), it's cluttered with all sorts of other things I don't need so that it quickly turns into an absolutely huge file I can't use.

The best example of the type of log file I'm looking for is provided by WS_FTP. I attached a sample of the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Is there any way we can have FileZilla automatically create a simple text file like this, so I can see at a glance that (say) I did download the wna_site.mdb database, and then uploaded it again 15 minutes later.

need to be able to import settings previously established on other ftp clients - like ws-ftp.

should be a way to request that files should overwrite existing files for this one transfer only - seems as if when you select this option for asingle file then you must keep selecting - if you say make this the default then that is the default from then on and it doesn't ask again.

(dcbiker@…) - same as 2 prior posts

it would be nice, if the font of the log window could be configured somewhere in the "appearance" part of the options menu.

the default font is currently something like "times new roman".

i would suggest to change the default font in the log window to "courrier" or any other font where the characters have equal widths.

many ftp sites use ascii-art welcome messages and other information ouput, which is specially layouted for fonts which have characters of equal widths. with the current font configuration they are quite hard to read.

thanks a lot for that great software!

Hello, I love your idea of a global connection retry / login delay in the connection settings! Could you install an option for each individual ftp site so you can manually put in a non default retry delay incase it has to be set to the non default option.

I.E. global retry delay is 50 seconds. For ftp.sourceforge.net you can set it for 2 minutes via a 'non default' option withing the ftp.sourceforge.net.

Thanks

• I want to be able to automatically disconnect (and not

reconnect) when my queue is complete. How is this done?

• Also, I tried to queue up a shortcut to a folder hoping

it would queue up the folder contents but nothing queued up at all. Is there a way of doing this? I have no problems with queuing up normal folders.

It would be useful if the Reconnect item (under File) were to indicate choices of sites previously connected to.

Thanks,

Luigi Bianchi

Would it be possible to have the local subtreeview refreshing ever 1 second, because when i create a new file in the open folder it never appears until i go into a subfolder and back into the original folder!

Surely there's a way to program this yeah?

I recently downloaded RedHat Linux from one of the mirrors. Due to the number of current users it had to reconnect hundreds of times wasting a lot of time. Since I was already halfway through the download I didn't want to try to find the files on another mirror which could potentially have the same problem.

What would be really nice is to assign several mirrors to certain files. Most mirrors will have an identical file structure once you get down to a specific level. It would be nice to have FileZilla check each mirror in sequence until it found one available and then download the file from there rather than trying the same mirror over and over again every few seconds.

For example I could highlight a large amount of files in the Queue and assing the following mirrors for RedHat Linux: mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/redhat mirror.ats.ucla.edu/pub/linux/redhat/ftp.redhat.com/linux/ andromeda.acs.uci.edu/mirrors/redhat/ ...

Thanks, Matt Penner

Currently, the local treeview doesn't display the folder of My Network Place. So user can access the local intranet by local treeview.

Start a download or connect to site/directory entering an URL like

download ​ftp://mysite.com/directory/myfile.tgz

connect + cd ​ftp://mysite.com/directory/

One of the features that I need in an ftp client is logging of uploads and downloads. On more than one occasion I have had to produce evidence that a file was in fact uploaded along with the location and time. This would be a very useful feature to add and I think very simple. Options on what to include in the logs would be handy, but not necessary as long as the standard information is there.

Thanks, Craig

I think it would be helpful if the user could connect to their default site by doing one of three things, instead of having to go to the file menu and choosing "connect to default Site".

1. The behaviour of the button to open Site Manager

should be changed so that if you click on it, it will open the default site. To access Site Manager it should be moved to the first option after the user has clicked on the small down arrow.

2. If no site details are entered into the QuickConnect

toolbar then Filezilla should connect to the default site.

3. Simply add a new button on the main toolbar to

connect to default site.

Yes, I am lazy and I don't like having to click on the fiddly little down arrow to get to my default site. I would like a nice big fat button for my big fat fingers to aim for and click on!

Darren aka Darkbee darkbee@…

To allow kerberised ftp through a stateful firewall the (E) PORT and (E)PASV command must be send in cleartext. Can you add an option to allow the transfer of these commands only as cleartext. There is an example client/server implementation at ​http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=70951&package_id=70374&release_id=194711.

I know it lowers the security somewhat but is better then opening all high ports on the firewall.

To support further Network Adress Translation on the firewall channel binding as to be removed. Could you add another option on the client/server to set the channel binding to GSS_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGs. The above implementation has this implemented.

Thank you Markus

When server is full FileFlash automatically retries to connect to FTP server. Sometimes it can take quite a while before the connection is established and users usually do other things when waiting. During this time the FileZilla window is begind other windows. So when FileZilla connects to server it would be nice if its taksbar button flasshed so that users can see that something happened in the FZ window.

Currently when viewing either the local or remot directories it is in the "list" view. I would like to see over views added like "licons". (basicly making it move like windows where you can have your folder views many diffeant ways)

Filezilla will not work through Microsoft ISA Server with NTLM authentication required.

Mozilla, including Mozilla FireFox does support NTLM auth for the HTTP proxy, so the code could be taken from there.

There is also a Python program APS that will work. It belongs here: ​http://www.geocities.com/rozmanov/ntlm/

It references a description of the protocol here: ​http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html

I use some language environment of computer. Often Filezilla un useful on server that use UTF-8 charset to filenames. Because, I want to function of filenames transfer server charset to client charset.

please feature !

To be able to save the transfer paramiters including wildcards in a way that you could dave a full or partial directory structure download to ba repated at a later time to make it so that you can do "one click backups".

I'd like to see a different local filesystem view, or the choice to change local views.

Something where the special windows folders are more easy viewable. (desktop, my documents etc) Possibly something like the notepad file dialog?

At present, the only time stamp is when FileZilla is started. I request that each event is time stamped. Also, a request that average transfer speed should be logged. The two items are linked and it can be calculated manually if required so long as one item or the other is put into the log file.

Cheers SeismicBod

This is just visual "icing", but it would be nice to have the actual TCP port (((217*256) + 7) = 55559) for passive connections logged immediately after the server response "Entering Passive Mode (...". Something like what is seen in the FlashFXP FTP client would be nice:

[R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (66,225,88,75,217,7). [R] Opening data connection IP: 66.225.88.75 PORT: 55559

I would love to be able to save a "project" file that contains a list of rules for what to transfer and be able to "run" it.

It would allow you to specify the remote ftp server, local directory, file extensions to upload/ignore, list individual files to upload/ignore, sub directories to upload and to ignore.

This would be very cool for anyone publishing a website that locally contains other files you don't want on your production server. If the other feature requests for uploading based on pattern matching of file names is implemented that would work very well with this feature.

It would be nice when right-click a file in the local view, be able to choose: "Windows Menu" refering to the Windows shell Menu is showed when you right click a file in windows explorer. Other programas such as Flashfxp has this feature, and it is very useful. thanx

I tried getting around the user name length bug in filezilla by using quickconnect with the address and port filled in only. filzilla then fills in user with 'anonymous'

I should be able to leave it blank and fill it out after connecting. I would suggest including a 'login as anonymous' button if your concerened about users having to type anonymous.

thanks

1st of all I love File Zilla ! Courd be use full to have dirsync otion in the transfer (i.e. remove filas that do not exist anymore in the source dir from the source dir / make target dir content identical to source dir content)

Fgth

I'd like to see a command line option in the FileZilla client, allowing to pass a Custom Command to the server.

This would be valuable when scipting automated tasks on the client (the ability to perform remote execution of scripts on the server).

Best regards, Palooka

Can we please have macros added to FileZilla? That way, I can enter a bunch of commands, save them as a macro, and run it whenever I need to.

Filezilla is already one of the best ftp programs avalible, muchless for free. There are three features that i can think of that would make this stand out above the rest.

FXP Support. Cute FTP 6.0 Pro supports this, but the interface on it, is very cludged. Looks like it was added as an after thought, and it unpleasent to use. If you were to make the local site be able to switch between either the local machine, or another remote site for fxp, that would take care of the UI problems.

Filter lists, and Priority lists are also important. What good is uploading a 20 file list, with an sfv(or any other md5/crc32 checking), if you cant make sure its there. Being able to force files up first would be a large boon.

Filter lists would also be nice. not nearly as important as the others, in my opinion, but very nice.

Thanks for your time, and the excellent program.

When uploading lots of small files for websites (especially PHP coded sites) I've encountered times when several files are corrupted. For PHP sites, this usually breaks some part of the site.

Is it possible to have an option to make Filezilla verify uploaded files (or at least double-check the file sizes?)

Thanks!

What would be a cool addition to a super-cool program, would be the ability to designate a connection as a mirror to another connection. so that whatever you do to one connection (Send / Rename / Delete), it will also do to its mirror connection.

Many thanks, with kind regards,

david

One really useful feature of Dreamweaver is the ability to quickly find a file just using the tree view alone, select it and hit 'put' to upload it. This saves a lot of time double clicking and looking at different parts of the screen.

It would be great if FileZilla could incorporate this idea, having the option to link or synchronise local and remote folders, so it knows exactly where to put each file when you click it in the tree view and tell it to upload.

Also being able to 'link' or synchronise more than one root folder for an ftp site would be great - I currently work on multiple web sites on the same server, and find it a very slow process in FZ to navigate around the local and remote directories just to upload one file...

This is my first request, so if it's rubbish will someone let me know?

Cheers ;-)

How about an option to avoid the question: 'Break current connection?' when changing ftp sites.

I use FileZilla with many different sites, very frequently switching between them. Removing this message would make things a fair bit smoother.

Cheers,

Tim

I made my own FileZilla Queue, more or less copied everything from a transfer queue I generated, but I deleted the password. The transfers don't work! And yet I _AM_ logged in the server I want to upload.

FileZilla should allow passwordless queues generated by third-party programs. After all, it's called import/export, not "save/load".

Also, please publish the specs regarding the XML. What's that 4096 0 or 256 0 at the beginning of the Remotepath?

I know there's already at least one feature request asking for this, but it's been almost 3 years and is unresolved.

I prefer not to hammer any servers I'm downloading from with multiple connections, and would like to see this setting become persistent, and ideally should be disabled initially.

Looking for a way to "build" or "create" a transfer queue easily from the existing Site Manager. In other words, have a way to easily select a number of files to transfer and "tag" them, while also have a way to easily select a number of sites and "tag" them to create a queue. This will enable the "build a queue mode" whereas you send a number of files to multiple sites (e.g. 500 sites within a LAN/WAN environment) and have the system work through the queue without manual intervention.

Hi,

I'd be great if FileZilla (client) could use QoS.

Thanks.

as seen in WS_FTP:

... The DirInfo button opens a window that displays the files and folders in the current folder, as well as the file sizes, and dates and times last edited. ... as in ls -la

HI,

is it possible to do a quick fix for UNC path support on the remote site.

"
pcname\share" should result in "CWD
pcname\share" instead of "cwd drive:/pcname/share".

thanks in advance

maik

Please include a function that allows you to change the name of a file when uploading it without having to change the source file´s name. This is usefull when the source system does not allow long filenames.

Autohide queue window when there is nothing in the que so that there is more screen space for the interesting bits.

If right click on the toolbar then you should get a menu where you can hide the Quickconnect bar.

I know you can do this from "View".

But in other toolbars in Windows you can get a menu to show/hide toolbars.

It would be really handy if the Transfer Type of a file (ASCII or Binary) would be displayed in the Queue. This might be an optional display setting, of course.

Currently there are lists of file extensions that should be used in ASCII mode. This has problems as everyone knows, because you have to explicitly make sure that files are in the list, or if they have no extension like many UNIX files, you have to set the transfer mode.

I propose an addition to this system that comes into play when an extension for a file is unknown, or if the file has no extension. FileZilla would try to determine the use of ASCII and non-ASCII character codes within the file being transferred. More on that in a little bit. Once it has detected the type, it would confirm with the user that this is the correct type for the file/extension, and also allow them to add the extension or file name to the list of extensions/filenames.

This system would be easier to implement than you probably think. ASCII files generally use a limited subset of the available combinations for each byte. A good example is that ASCII files *generally* use only things you can see on your keyboard. You would scan the entire file for usages of bytes outside this range, (for example, the ASCII control codes, anything with a decimal value of greater than 127, anything not visible on the keyboard) and if one is detected the file would be labeled as binary for confirmation by the user. Text files are generally significantly smaller than binary files, so to scan a text file would take limited time, and scanning of a binary file would halt quickly because it would soon discover a non-ASCII character. Even so, you could have an option to limit the size of a portion of a file to allow scanning on.

Of course this would bring false positives, and this is why a dialog with a pre-selected button with possible values of ASCII, binary, ASCII [save extension] and binary [save extension] (which I mention above as confirmation from the user) should appear upon detection. The save extension options selection would be determined by whether the file had an extension or not.

Thanks for reading :D

Hi i use FileZilla by some month and i have see that the password is only with Can you put in next release a choise between masked password "*" or not masked password "mypass" I have try this solution in another ftp program and is very very comfortable when i not remember the pass for use it in another program or when a have to change ti.. thanks Johnny

PS: FileZilla is the best ftp software!! I like it!!

This will save the password with the user account. This could be a security problem.

great program!

but i find it very very annoying that my settings for the download queue are NOT saved! so i have to set my settings for "use multiple connections" and "proces queue" manually everytime i launch filezilla.

those settings should be stored both global and for every site.

should not be too hard to implement, i think.

thanks

It would be great if you could include in one of the next releases an option for FileZilla to accept "scripts/batches" for uploads/downloads that could be passed as an command line option.

This is usefull in case of scheduled transfers between PCs of multiple files.

Hello,

I'm sure that someone must have requested customizable keyboard shortcuts in the past, but when I searched the feature requests for either "keyboard", "shortcut", or "shortcuts", there were no matches. So, I hereby request customizable keyboard shortcuts. :-)

Thanks for your time.

Could you add the option in the File Transfer overwrite rules that a file could be overwritten based upon the destination file's size. Eg. Overwrite if destination file is bigger/smaller. Thanks for a great product!!

Can an option "Folder size" been added to the context- menu of directories?

In other FTP clients (such as FTP Voyager) there is a very usefull option called "Folder size", which recursively walks through the tree below that folder and counts all files and subdirs below.

Thanks in advance, and success with the project!

The ability to trigger a stored job would be incredibly useful, especially if it was coupled with a command line of some description.

Being able to press an up arrow and hit enter to transfer 10 files I'm modifying every few minutes would save a lot of clicking and dragging, changing my current folder, etc.

Basically:

• Ability to create, modify, save and delete macros to

transfer a file, files, or directory structure

• Ability to do this with a minimum of mousework.

The main reason for this is that with the mouse I find I am constantly losing focus on the areas I need, can't select a bunch of files really quickly (I have to minimise FileZilla, go to explorer, select, drag-n-drop), and that's distracting.

Currently Filezilla handles its own DNS requests, even when using a socks4a proxy. It'd be cool to have just the site name sent to the socks4a proxy, thus eliminating DNS leaks on the client end (like using TOR).

feature: simultaneous split download through multiple clients from multiple machines

Description: i wanted to request something like this: say.. two filzilla clients A and B in entirely different computers connect themselves.. then when a user from A or B gives a file to download, one section of the file is downloaded by A and other section by B. this gives rise to distributed downloading of the same file (starting from different file offsets) so that the overall speed is faster. the user from A or B then can meet physically and get the missing parts from each other.both user A and B have to download less per connection.

of course.. there is no need to be two users.. one user with two computers can manage... and also.. should be able to handle around 10 connections(not only two computers) from 10 different computers, each downloading only part of the file on the FTP server .the connection between the two ftp clients is used to keep it ordered so that there is no repeated downloading of even a single byte from the file from either A or B. maintaining 10 connection may be hard.. but.. say.. a custom named irc channel (made temporarily for the 'talks' between the 10 computers) can be utilised for keeping alll the 10 computers in sync( to know which client is downloading which part of file..)

i think this is very important for people .. with this feature.. user can download a 700mb file by utilising two separate connections, eg: office and home (office can download 350 and home another 350)

i dont think many people will comprehend this feature well.. but.. :->

Thanks in advance, FiRE

hello,

at very first: wonderful, wonderful filezilla! one feature request: when using "quick connect" there pops-up/drops down a list of my latest connections.

now: it would be fine, if i could edit this list, at least delete those, who shouldn't be there any more/aren't used any more.

and there should be a longer list too.

would this be possible?

greetings from very winterly salzburg hans horwath

When I'm trawling through my local file window in FileZilla client 2.2.18.

I often find myself wishing to open a file's target directory or even the selected directory in Explorer.

But there appears to be no way to do so.

Therefore I've got to find this directory or file via Explorer and trawl through the directories *again* which can take an age!

This inability of FileZilla to do this, just makes me and no doubt hundreds of others irated. :-)

But why not save thousands of users grief and add a wee icon or an extra Menu line to do a 'open Container' command on a file or directory right into Explorer please?

Can't be hard to do surely?

Now we can hide FileZilla in systray on minimizing the window. It would be good if there was a shortcut to hide the window in systray.

It would be helpful if there were a windows explorer navigation toolbar with commands such as back, foward, up, delete, views, properties, etc. This would make finding files easier.

I think a great feature would be if FZ could read and store permissions of all the files it downloaded, so it would then have the ability to (optionally) restore those permissions when the files are uploaded back to the server.

This would solve a perpetual problem that I have -- whenever I use FZ to restore files, my website is broken until I manually figure out what the permissions should be.

Could we please have this feature? WS_FTP has it and it's the only thing I miss in FileZilla.

All WS_FTP does is a very rudimentary log:

• time of initiating the transfer
• filename being transferred
• remote filename (even the remote path alone would do,

to avoid rescanning the remote directory in case the file was auto-renamed upon upload)

• direction of transfer (upload/download)

I've also posted about this in the forums:

​http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php? t=1452&highlight=log+wsftp

Hope that helps, Dan Dascalescu ​http://dandv.blogspot.com

wouldn be great to be able to set up connection retry settings (wait, attempts) individually for every server

It would be nice if it was possible to implement the feature of copying files from FileZilla's file explorer (e.g. files on ftp server) by pressing Ctrl+C and pasting them into the Windows explorer by pressing Ctrl+V.

When invoking a manual transfer, with a file highlighted in the local site filename window: 1) right mouse click to invoke manual transfer 2) automatically populate the manual transfer local filename

This should probably be a window sensitive right mouse click - if you are in the remote site filename window, the right mouse click should be aware that the manual transfer is a 'download' and automatically populate the correct field.

If you are in the local site filename window, the right mouse click shown presume you are doing an 'upload' and populate the local site filename window.

Alternatively - should the automatic upload process be knowledgable that the upload target is a mainframe, itcould simply truncate the noteds to 8 characters. For example: put fubar.uploadfile <to a mainfraim> would transfer as fubar.uploadfi or even better fubar.uploadfi.le

Optional) registration as the default URL handler in windows may be added with a registry addition similar to:

--BEGIN-- REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sftp] @="URL:sftp Protocol" "URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sftp\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sftp\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sftp\shell\open\command] @="\"C:
Program Files
FileZilla
FileZilla.exe\" \"%1\"" --END--

Allowing FZ to register itself for FTP and SFTP URLs would be useful.

For SFTP, this is potentially blocked by this bug: ​http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1454179&group_id=21558&atid=372241

Hello FileZilla-Team!

I really like your Software, it's fast and reliable, but there is one function that would make it perfect:

In addition to filezila, I am using a free, feature- reduced version of ftp-uploader (​http://www.ftp- uploader.de/), which uploads all changed files on a local directory-tree to a specified server. In the registered version, it would do this automatically, that means, it would run in the background, detects changes automatically and startes the upload of the file. In the free version, the program does this only on button press.

It would be fantastic, if FileZilla would offer this feature as an option the configured Servers, so every user can choose, if he wants to work manually or have everything be done without a click.

I hope you find my wish usefull and consider implementing.

yours sincerely, Jens

It would be nice if filezilla could download from multiple hosts with only on filezilla running and the ability speficy to use multiple connections to one host and to the other only one.

When Drag&Drop an directory or more to upload/donwload, don't get all file first in all directories. This often stops when an FTP Error during Get File List occured. So just read the directory content when the specified directory is next in queue.

Please add Transfer Type (Ascii/Binary/Auto) to the context menu that is presented when I right click on a file. Selecting this should override but not change the default setting for transfer type.Thanks Brent Milton

Sometimes when I'm downloading an archive, I'll just add the whole directory by dragging it to the queue pane.

When I do, filezilla will recursively go through the directory structure and add each file. Just like it's supposed to.

But sometimes when a subdir has lots of small files in it, filezilla will spend so long adding those to the queue that it seems to lock up. And it'll loose the ftp connection and be unable to continue traversing the directory stucture for the rest of the files.

The more that gets added, the slower things go. And it'll reach a point where filezilla just locks up for a couple minutes or more and the connection times out and it wont finish adding the rest of the stuff.

Even though the files being added are small and could be downloaded pretty quick, by this point, filezilla is spending more time adding a file to the queue than it would probably take to just go ahead and download it.

.metalink files are simple XML text files that list the multiple locations (Mirrors/P2P) for files, along with checksums & other useful info. There will usually be more than 1 FTP & HTTP source, so a program can get a segment of each file from different sources at the same time. If the download manager doesn't support all or any of the P2P networks listed, then it just uses the mirrors.

This can be really nice for downloading large files like ISOs.

Please add Transfer Type (Ascii/Binary/Auto) to the settings for each site within the Site Manager. Some hosted accounts always take ASCII files, while others take binary (e.g., Zend Optimizer). It is really annoying to keep forgetting to switch from one transfer type to another, depending upon the particular site that one is uploading files to. That should be stored within the settings for that particular site, and would be a really handy feature. Thanks!

Hi,

We have one customer, which have two server. There is an first login password then an other before acces to ftp server. So we need two logins and two passwords before acces to directory ? Where could i register theses two logins and passwords ?

Regards Philippe

it would be nice if the filezilla server gets a crc checker for sfv oder md5 files - if something (files or dirs with a sfv-file for example) is uploaded to the ftp-server it could be checked and marked as ok oder bad or missing so.

I would like to see a system of plugins for FileZilla.

That is, let FileZilla act as the conduit through

which plugin widgets (simple scripts, actions based on logic, etc) could work their magic.

Sifting through the feature requests, I wonder how simple something like the simultaneous local & remote directory switching would be with a script. "cd /home; ls" on local yields a "cd /home; ls" on the remote with an alert (or other action) on error.

Likewise, it may be simpler for an external widget to compare filesizes and dates for automatic local/remote file synchronization. A script could handle an "ignore list" of file types, names or folders. It could handle transfer scheduling, etc.

And etc, etc, etc.

This is a great application and I use it often. Keep up the good work.

some times we need to down load a dir with many level dir in it and each level have many dirs,like cygwin's release dir. now filezilla list all dir and sub dir first,then download everyone. it take a long time and almost always take error"Transfer channel can't be opened.Could not retrieve directory listing". another ftp client, flashfxp,list dir, download files, if have subdir, list and download it,else ,list another same level dir.it's more quickly and errorless when a dir have many level dir and each level have many dirs.

please forgive my poor english.

A setup-less server would be great, all bundled inside a zip. The server should run like a normal application, not a service.

What do you think?

for sftp connections implement "put -P". There is already a setting "preserve date/time of downloaded file" so add a second one for "preserve date/time of uploaded file". This would only be possible with sftp connections using the documentated "put -P" command.

When you are editting, uploading a set of files, testing and then 'going-around-the-loop' it would be great if the Filezilla FTP client had a keypress/function-key that would repeat the last transfer!

This could take the current 'selection' of files from the file view/use a history/log/queue information.

This would really help and make the operation slicker when bugfixing/debugging remote files.

Many Thanks Mike

I'm working in health care services, and so I'm often dealing with database system with sensitive data. It's a common practice to log everything we do, like telnet session, ftp session, even recording PcAnywhere session (I know : why PcAnywhere ? The choice was beyond my say so...)

Here's some ideas for the Message Log saved to a file :

• remove keep alive system commands from the message log;
• automatically name the file with the remote host IP

address, current date and time (similar to PuTTY);

• ... any other ideas anyone ?

We have a need for GSS authentication, but without encryption after connecting. I believe Filezilla is essentially sending the "private" command to the FTP server.

Basically, we need the same functionality as if you started the unix command line 'ftp' without the '-x' option.

I'd be more than happy to work with your developers to make this happen.

Under the general topic of managing huge downloads more efficiently:

It would be very helpful if there were a way in the front-end of the FileZilla client to turn the speed limiter on and off. Instead, one must go into the preferences.

A very good example of a program that manages bandwidth well is uTorrent. You can set up a schedule in a graphical way that is more intuitive than FileZilla's schedule rules. You can also turn the schedule on and off in the front end by right clicking in the lower status bar. Finally, uTorrent does some very interesting and convienent things with download prioritization.

In the context of the FileZilla interface, it would probably be more consistent to add a button in the main toolbar instead of a context menu in the status bar, though adding both wouldn't hurt.

Additionally, it would be helpful if you could apply speed limit rules on a per-file (or per-directory) basis to limit certain downloads and not to others in the queue.

For instance, let's say I'm downloading a huge DVD ISO of a Linux distro. This will take several days on a slow DSL connection. Rather than sucking up my bandwidth for days on end, I'd set a speed limit. Now, in the middle of this big download, I need to pull down some work-related files. Rather than pausing the big download, turning off the speed limiter, initiating the new download, waiting for it to finish, and restarting the big download again with the speed limit rules, it would be better if I could right-click the big download and simply apply the speed limit to it alone, leaving the new high-priority download to utilize the remainder of my available bandwidth.

I hope this makes sense. I am happy to discuss the feature request further. I'm 'ixnayus' at gmail. Thanks for all your work on a great product.

Many thanks, Steve

As the title says, Filezilla could remember the latest RAW commands used. I frequently use SITE MNT / SITE UMNT, and i have to type them both each time i need to mount or unmount a partition in the remote ftp server (actually, i copy them from a text file).

After a transfer is complete there is no indication as to what in fact was transferred. Have some indentification on the file that was last transferred an that will make it easy to delete it without having to search the files.

I run a small (family) FTP server, and don't need (nor want) the system powered on 100% of the time. Family members use WakeOnLan to power it up. The system is set to "Standby" after 20 minutes of inactivity.

Problem: Filezilla server time doesn't seem to count as activity, and the server goes "Standby" even though a user is logged on and actively transferring files.

I need the server to disallow the WM_POWERBROADCAST message PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND code if a user is logged on when the message is received.

I've been a programmer for 25 years (mostly Mainframe assembler), but have enough C++ and Windows under my belt to make the change and submit it to the group if I can get the server source. I'll even volunteer for occasional projects to help clear the Feature Request backlog. No compensation, as I'm employed as a programmer, and that would be a conflict of interest - have to keep this at the "hobby" level to be able to participate.
