I wanted to use FileZilla Client & Server to transfer files between my VMware Workstation host and virtual machine, since VMware's own file sharing is horribly slow!

I first tried the FileZilla 3 beta, and it crashed connecting to the server.

Here are the steps I took:

1) Install VMware on host machine.

• Download VMware workstation 30 day trial.
• Create a new Windows XP VM (I used 1GB RAM of my 2GB).
• Use NAT (not bridging) for the network, inside the Virtual Machine Network properties in VMware.
• Install Windows XP.
• Install FileZilla 3.0 beta client in virtual machine.

2) Install FileZilla Server on host machine.

• Add one user, with a password.

4) Connect to the server from inside the VM.

• Run ipconfig /all to get the host's IP address.
• Open FileZilla 3.0 beta.
• Create a new server in the connections list, specify the username and password.
• Click Connect in the connections list dialog, FileZilla crashed.

Hope this helps!

The last place saved (local site) is lost upon startup. For example, if I am FTPing from c:\ftp\out, when I restart, it will show back up as C:\Program Files\FileZilla\resources\cyril\32x32\.

Only double-click or right-click and "Upload" initiates a transfer.
