Step 1: Install
Step 2: Just use it.

hello and good evening

many thanks for the quick reply and for the hint!

well i have to add some xml-data -/key file) i guess

therefore i head over to the

public key authentifzierung
um die public key authentifzierung zu unterstützen muss FileZilla die zu verwendenden privaten Schlüssel kennen.

Privater key:

dann bekomme ich zurück:

FileZilla_data_.xml' konnte nicht geladen werden oder enthält keinen privaten Schlüssel


in english:

Public Key Authentication
In order to support public key authentication, FileZilla needs to know which private keys to use.

Private key:


then I get back:

FileZilla_data_.xml could not be loaded or does not contain a private key

good day dear folks

first of all - many many thanks for all you do - i love filezilla.

well : Most FTP servers out there use simple authentication like username/password. But i need to do more,
Zthere is more: If we're trying to connect to a server where i should be authenticating to it.
so i have to store the xml file some where. Where!?

Key files aren't typically stored in XML, and such key file formats aren't supported by FileZilla.

Where does the XML file come from?

Maybe the file could be imported by PuTTY/Pageant? FileZilla recognizes such keys, then, for them being stored in the Registry..
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!

hello you both

many thanks for the quick reply. Awesome - this support is outstanding.

well sure thing - i guess that this is so.

my serveradmin - sent me the file: here see the explanation - and now i know (again) how to use this... ;)

see this

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FileZilla3 version="3.38.1" platform="windows">
	<Servers>
		<Server>
			<Host>www2.the_server_.com</Host>
			<Port>625</Port>
			<Protocol>1</Protocol>
			<Type>0</Type>
			<User>vhost</User>
and that

Code: Select all


		<Setting name="FTP Proxy password" />
		<Setting name="FTP Proxy login sequence" />
		<Setting name="SFTP keyfiles">C:\Users\foo\Documents\_data_\keys\_webserver_\priv_serverkey</Setting>
		<Setting name="SFTP compression">
		
well here we see what to do (else)

i need to work with the priv-serverkey - which is stored on the according path

this one has to be importet into the filezilla-client that is on the new (installed) notebook

i will do so. - But wait: what to do with this (special [certain] - ) XML-file. this has to be stores somewhere else in the FileZilla.


look forward to hear from you


many thanks for the supprt here - this is just outstanding

btw: 100 posts so far ... ;)

That looks like an exported sitemanager entry. Try importing it through the import item in the File menu.

That file must be from a very old version of FileZilla. For a long time now, platform-specific settings are marked with a platform attribute.

Make sure you are using the latest version of FileZilla and re-export the settings you want to transfer.
