Site Manager

FileZilla Site Manager

The Site Manager allows FileZilla client users to store information about their FTP sites.

Starting Site Manager

The Site Manager command is located under the File sub menu. You can also press CTRL+s I have downloaded Filezilla. I have found Wiki, but still not Site manager. It is as clear as mud. I do not know even where in Filezilla I should be, and there are no icons as advertised!!

Site Manager Dialog

Use the Select Entry field to select the target site. Once selected you may either Connect to , Edit, Copy, Rename, or Discard the site.

You may also organize the sites you can refer to using FileZilla, by introducing a complete folder structure. Use the New Folder button to introduce or add folders.

In the edit section, several tabs are available for detailed information about the FTP location.

• General describes the hostname, the Port number, the type of FTP server you will connect to (such as FTP or SFTP), the type of login that will take place, when appropriate, the user ID to use when connecting, optional the password required, optional the account information needed and finally some space to make comments about the site. Logontypes:
  • Anonymous: You can't enter a username and password. In this case the username always is anonymous.
  • Normal: You have to enter a username and if required, a password.
  • Ask for password: FileZilla asks you the password during logon and it remembers the password during the session.
  • Interactive: FileZilla asks for the password ... and asks again for every new connection to the server.
  • Account: Selecting this enables the "Account" field in the bookmark's settings. This account type is for FTP only, SFTP does not have support for it.
• Advanced describes several advanced functions.
  • Servertype allows you to make a special selection for this FTP target. Most sites will work fine with the Default value, however some will require SFTP.
  • Bypass proxy Allows to bypass any proxy server.
  • default local or remote directory fields allow for specific starting settings when activating a connection.
  • Finally Time Zone Settings Allows to interpret time zone values for the FTP server different from its real settings.

• Transfer Settings specifies in more detail how transfer may take place.
• Charset specifies the character set used to communicate with the targeted FTP site.
