The following features (amongst many others) have not been implemented yet, but will be available in later versions:

Roadmap

Some of the information here is based on rumors and speculations, and might not represent what the developer(s) of FileZilla is currently planning.

FileZilla 3.0.0-betaX

  • VMS compatibility
- Strip version number on upload (or download based on user's choice)
- ASCII detection on VMS

(Based on FZ3's todo.txt rev 1.4)

Future

The following features (amongst many others) have not been implemented yet, but will be available in later versions:

  • Firewall and proxy support
  • The ability to use Notepad or any other program to edit a file online (the real action behind the scenes: downloading it to a temporary place and re-uploading it upon saving)
  • Synchronization
  • Local directory watch and list/tree update (Using inotify on Linux). Perhaps do this in a generic way for wxWidgets?

For a detailed roadmap, please read this forum post, in which the main developer of FileZilla explains what is to come.
