command line: local directory

[wr2]

When FileZilla client starts, it takes initial local directory from parameter "Last local directory" in filezilla.xml file. Remote path could be set by means of command line options.

It would be great if you could include command line option to also set initial local directory.

This is usefull in case of starting FileZilla from filemanager when user is already in desired local directory. Now, it's necessary to go to this directory in FileZilla again instead of just pass it to FileZilla as a command line parameter.

It would be great! Please do It feature.
I suppose implementation of it isn't difficult and don't requires much testing.
Using with file managers increases FileZilla's stock

[Barry Ralphs]

I too would like this feature.

If you do not provide a patch yourself, changing the priority of this item won't do anything.

I would like to attempt to submit this patch, but since it's my first, I'm sure it might take awhile...

New command line option for local site --local=C:\temp

Patch looks fine, there's a minor thing missing though: The description of the command-line arguments in docs/filezilla.man, please update your patch.

[Barry Ralphs]

Patch with description of the command-line arguments in docs/filezilla.man

[Barry Ralphs]

OK I attached the revised patch, but I was a little confused with the syntax in the .man file.
For example it has:
\-c <site>, \-\-site <site>
But should it be:
\-c=<site>, \-\-site=<site>

[Tim Kosse]

Thanks, applied. I've moved processing of the local argument to before processing the site argument, that way they can be used in combination, with the site taking precedence if it also defines a local directory.
