Hi,
its possible to add a parameter to open by command line and start the new connection at a new tab?
I use a passwort manager and open the connection by commandline - works great, but I have between 5 and 20 different FileZilla Windows at my screen...
Thanks for your work!
e.g.
Code: Select all
cmd://"C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe --opennewtab" ftpes://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@domain.tld

Passing of passwords on the command-line is not a good idea. Other programs on your computer can read the complete command-line of any other program.

hmm... I store my passwords at Keepass and start with this parameters the FileZilla...
The other way is to use the Auto-Type - is this more secure?!?!
My "dream" is to integrate KeePass at FileZilla like KeeFox at Firefox

Auto-type sounds more secure.

o.k. I`ll change to auto-type...
but - it´s a so hard work to make a plugin for FileZilla to connect the KeePass-Database? In this time I start FileZilla, the I open Keepass and search the right FTP-Connection, start auto-type, change the window... a lot of clicks...

I would like to see this option too.
@botg
How can any other program read what I type in the Windows shell, specifically?
I'm doing something similar to @kalauer ...I've got KeePass set up with a custom URL/SCM Override, so when it sees a URL starting with FTPES it does this...
cmd://filezilla.exe ftpes://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{BASE:RMVSCM}
...Works great for managing a bunch of different FTP, Email, and Web Hosting accounts. Without a good account manager, running a large hosting support business would be impracticable.

For any running program, every other program can read what arguments it was originally started with. Easy to check with Task Manager: Go to details Tab, and if not yet visible, right-click the column headers above the list, select "Select columns" and add Command line. If you passed a password over the command-line you can see it here. The data Task Manager shows any other program can obtain as well.
