ftps versus AUTH TLS ?
Where is command line on FZ3 Beta 11? You can't just scrap that!
- I believe, there's no command line in FZ3 :(
It's crazy having no command line option to open directly to a given site and folder. What's the advantage in removing that functionality? That feature alone makes Windows Explorer infinitely more useful than FileZilla, despite any other shortcomings. Surely you can't allow that?! ;-P (Except that Explorer can't handle a user name which include an '@', something that's compulsory on some sites. :-/ FileZilla would handle that, no problem - except!) 78.151.111.152 13:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Bad thing: "Unknown option" in FZ3 Usage: filezilla [/h] [--verbose]
Bring back the command line, I use it a lot.
Using KeePass
As a frequent user KeePass (and I guess many other password manager with equivalent functionality), I would like to have some Command Line functionality available. By using KP's CMD function I call an application i.e. FileZila and pass the required fields through to the app.
In doing so it would be smart to CLI FileZilla with a Command Line switch to at least name the ftp server location or even nicer to refer to the Site Manager named location. JanEnEm
defaults for Cmd Line args
You definitively want to ask for a password when none is given by cmd line (interactive mode?). I can't see why that is not configurable (or default).
upload from command line
Could you please bring back all command line options that were in v2 ? especially -u to updload a file from command line.
Wouldn't you just use standard ftp commands from that point? You don't need Filezilla to embed their own parameters when standard ftp commands will work once the connection is made. ex. get or put will work once you establish the connection in the command line.
Need to revert to FZ2
Upload from command line is critical. New versions tend to add features, not remove them. I guess FZ is taking a different approach.
Commandline options are crucial for automation
Filezilla could be the best FTP backup client available with simply that. Features like threading, fast incremental uploads and /close make it perfect for backups. Bonkey takes 20+ minutes to do an incremental backup to FTP while filezilla can be configured to do it in 21 seconds.
However without the -u feature we cant make it backup automatically. This is a serious draw back.
