FileZilla Client 2.x Command-Line Arguments
FileZilla Client does support some basic command-line arguments, but it's primarily a GUI application and as such isn't meant to do scripting/automation. Some functionality is never the less available through the command-line.
Standard Synopsis
- filezilla.exe <URL> [-du] <sourcefile> <targetdir> [-t] <targetname>
- filezilla.exe -s <name of site in Site Manager>
Description
- filezilla.exe [<protocol>://]<username>:<password>@<host>[:port]
Used to connect to a host running a ftp server. The optional protocol can either be ftp://, sftp:// or ftps:// and defaults to ftp://. The port is optional. If it is ommited, the port defaults to 21 for ftp://, 22 for sftp:// and 990 for ftps://. - filezilla.exe -s <name of site in Site Manager>
Used to connect to a host that is defined in the Site Manager of the program. The name of the site is case sensitive. - filezilla.exe [-du] <sourcefile> <targetdir> [-t] <targetname>
Used to download (-d) or upload (-u) a file from/to the host.
User Commands
The supported user commands are:
- URL
You can specify an URL FileZilla connect to when started. - -s <name of site in Site Manager>
Specifies an already defined site in the Site Manager that FileZilla tries to connect to when started. -
-d <sourcefile> <targetdir>
Downloads the specified file from the server into the target dir. -
-u <sourcefile> <targetdir>
Uploads the specified file into the target dir on the server. <sourcefile> has to be the full path of the file. -
-t <targetname>
Only valid together with -u or -d: Specifies an alternate name for the target file. Must come directly after one of -u or -d. -
-quit
Shuts down all running instances of FileZilla. Must be used solely; can't be combined with any of the other arguments. -
-i
Imports a Site Manager .xml file.
Remarks: You can not use -s as argument to either -u or -d. Both -u and -d expect a full hostname.
Options
-
-close
Will close FileZilla after all transfers have finished. -
-config <configfile>
Loads the file specified as configuration for the program. If used it has to be the first argument to FileZilla. -
-overwrite
To set the fileexists action to overwrite.
Example (version 2.2.29)
- filezilla.exe -s "Remote Site" -u "c:\ftp\TestFile.txt" ftp://ftp_user:ftp_password@ftp_host_ip/test_stuff -close
...will connect to the site "Remote Site" (-s) defined in Site Manager and Upload (-u) local file "c:\ftp\TestFile.txt" into remote folder "test_stuff"; when transfer is complete, close FileZilla. - FileZilla 2.2.29 command line transfer does not support Wildcards/Subdirectory specifications (i.e. \* or \*.*) will not work to transfer all folders/files; only single file transfers are allowed.
