Proxy Support Missing

Really stupid stuff in filezilla client 2.X version..which dont have proxy server configuration..this is too bad..

You really should highlight the fact that the "recommended" release doesn't have any proxy support. Especially since the the old 2.x versions do, and people most likely expect it. --13.13.16.2 18:29, 24 September 2007 (CEST)

An other point are the firewall settings, in the 2.2.17 version it was possible to limit the port range for passive ftp. This was very useful behind a Linux firewall. You can make a small hole to allow passive ftp file transfers. In the new 3.0.1 version it is only possible to do that for active ftp. -- Stefan Versendaal

I agree -- it needs proxy support! It's annoying that you guys removed all links to the old version from Sourceforge, too. So I have to rely on this site: www.oldapps.com/download_old_version_filezilla.php

Queue Sort

Just got 3.0.1 for Windows. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the queue seems to sort files in reverse alphabetical order, and there doesn't appear to be a way to fix it. I click on the "Server / Local file" column button, but nothing happens. None of the other queue column buttons do anything either. I'd like the files to download in the correct order. The remote file listing is sortable, but the queue isn't.

The queue isn't sorted at all due to performance reasons. A sorted queue would dramatically slow down FileZilla. --CodeSquid 16:56, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

Perhaps it would be ok to just add the list in reverse order, since it looks like something is sorting the files (the server?). --Anonymouse

Or alow the user to choose to turn sorting on or off.

v 3.2.2.1 Windows, the Queue Sort now seems to be straight alphabetical order (A-Z) but still if you click on a column, it still doesn't sort anything. and just wondering CodeSquid why would it slow filezilla down once it has sorted it? (i understand the few clock cycles while it performs the sort, but once that is done, it shouldn't cost any more processing power). Cant we get it fixed so we can sort the way we want (such as by size, etc) --Wb6vpm 22:13, 18 March 2009 PDT

Keep timestamps on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon

Here's a cookbook for keeping FTP timestamps for working with Ubuntu 7.10 and with a reiserfs filesystem:

The reiserfs does not keep records of creation date and time for files. Therefore the solution is to use a FAT32/NTFS partition.

1. Repartition your drive with at least one FAT32/NTFS partition. If you already have one such partition, then there is no need to repartition.

2. Download the latest stable FileZilla binary from this site. (Do not use the older version from Ubuntu repository.)

3. Run FileZilla with the command:

sudo ./filezilla

(You will need that sudo in order to change timestamps on NTFS.)

4. In FileZilla, under Transfers choose "Keep timestamps of..."

5. Surf in the left pane to a folder on your FAT32/NTFS partition.

6. Make connection to your FTP site and download. The timestamps will be kept.

Install Software

Thank you for the help. Will this work in Windows 7? There is another method to install software i.e. using safe mode. Just press the F8 key when you start your windows. You can also copy the CD to your hard disc and can run the install from set up. Try to run the install from your hard drive in safe mode and see if things work.

If you are still getting the problem to install software then you can just check the manufacturer details on the CD or can visit to the manufacturer’s site. Just get in touch with them over phone or can mail them at their e-mail address.

If you have just downloaded software from the manufacturer’s site then you can visit the site and ask for the trouble shooting. Some good manufacturing sites have message board where you can post your complaints and you will get the answer instantly by the experts. Nowadays, one can see the number of pornographic, betting, gift offering websites cropping up. The people who have a PC at their places are a worried lot. They want to save their children from these sites ill effect. To counter this people use spyware software to keep a check on their child’s activity. As we all know in the adolescent age the chance of watching pornographic site is quite high and an alert guardian can not afford to ignore this act. Apart from this, there are number of sites where one can get the entire nuisance in the internet sites. However, the software alone can not play the roles of the guardian but definitely it can save a lot of damage. One can see the alert guardians using net nanny software to other spycam to keep a tab on their child. This will help them to keep a track of what they are doing and they could be warned before they fall into any trap. So one can install software and get rid of all their woes.
