Custom Query (8105 matches)

Hi,

I would like to be able to create a shortcut to FileZilla that launches an FTP to an address specified within the shortcut.

FileZilla already does this partially, however I need to have the user enter their username and password every time. I cannot store the username in the shortcut and I cannot save usernames/passwords in the site manager.

So in the shortcut I would like to have something like this as the command:

"c:\program files\FileZilla FTP Client\FileZilla.exe" address -f

Where "address" is the address of the ftp server that I put into the shortcut and "-f" or some other switch tells FileZilla to prompt for the username and password before connecting to the server.

This would allow me to deploy a shortcut to all the machines that I use that will connect for any user to a given FTP server, but it will prompt them for their information upon the initial connect each time.

Thanks for your consideration,

I used to use SmartFTP, but after they stopped offering a free version for download I've decided FileZilla's going to be my FTP client from now on.

SmartFTP had a feature that copied the URL of a remote file to your clipboard if the FTP server was bookmarked and it's remote URL text box was filled in.

In the old Filezilla version you could type a letter and the prompt was moved to the first folder starting with that letter. In version 3 it is not possible.

Can you allow it?

Thanks Claudio
