How to make filezilla start with autoconnection to website

#1 Post by col duke » 2008-08-09 12:12

How do I configure FZ to start atomatically with a connection to my site.

I know it is a little thing, but it as much as I go, I don't want to manually go to site manager or go under quick connect and fish out my site.

the old version had a site default. The new version doesn't seem to have one.

Is there any way to automatically go directly to a specific site when opening FZ?

thanks,

I am a novice at open source and filezilla.

Could you offer specific instructions on how to set the parameters to open with the last website or with a specific website?

I would very much appreciate it, and thanks.

Can you give me a simple step by step process to enable FZ on opening to go directly to the site in which it was last opened?

Or simple step by step instructions to make it automatically open to a site in site manager on starting the program?


thanks, I appreciate it.

If your Site Manager Entry is named 'Test', you use

Code: Select all

filezilla.exe -c=0/Test
See http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Comma ... _Arguments

I don't want to run a command line each time I open fz,

I would like to see it in the program itself, so when you open FZ it will automatically go to the last site or one you specify as a default

Create a shortcut with the command line parameters you need.

I am assuming that you have a shortcut icon somewhere on your Desktop or quicklaunch toolbar.
1. Right click it.
2. Select "properties."
3. On the shortcut tab you will see an entry similar to Target: "C:\Program Files\FileZilla-3.1.1.1\filezilla.exe". Right after "\filezilla.exe" insert "-c=0/Test", assuming that Test is the name of the entry you wish to open on start up. The finished entry should look like:

"C:\Program Files\FileZilla-3.1.1.1\filezilla.exe" -c=0/Test

I know this works because I just tried it. I figured it out from the above entries. You have to be willing to experiment in order to learn. Try it, you'll like it.

:P
