FileZilla Forums

The file downloaded from the Filezilla site is: FileZilla_3.15.0_macosx-x86.app.tar.bz2

I does uncompress to filezilla.app without issue.

When then attempting to run it, El Capitan produces:
“FileZilla.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Done this dance 4 or 5 time with same results. Any ideas?

This is probably the result of a bad or missing App Store certificate. Try rebooting your Mac and sign out and back into the App Store.

Yea, a reboot didn't fix it. Version 3.14.1 works fine but I hope this is not the end of the line for me as far as upgrades goes. Been loving FZ for a billion years!

Am I correct that the .dmg versions that are encased in the SourceForge.app wrapper contain crud that I had not come for? Just asking.

Not sure what to do. I'm on a Mac Mini. I will try it on my Mac Air and see if things are different.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Yes.

I'm not sure either what to do. The binaries work fine on my machine.

According to the update server statistics, they also works just fine for many other users of OS X 10.11.

Please try this:

Open a terminal and type the following, replace the path to the application bundle as necessary. What does it output?

I renamed the app with the version number so that I could use 3.14.1 as filezilla.app .
But the failing case I describe is when 3.15.0 runs as named filezilla.app .

How does this look to you ? Greek to me.

OK, I am on my Mac Air at this moment. I downloaded the same FileZilla_3.15.0_macosx-x86.app.tar.bz2 and installed it. I'm getting the SAME error when trying to run filezilla.app .

Both machines are running El Capitan 10.11.3 (note the .3). I wonder if that is the incompatibility because otherwise the 2 Macs are quite different in detail makeup.

I thank you for your continuing help.

PS - if you think you see something in the code and want me to test it I am good to go and be of help. I appreciate your work here.

Looking just as it should look like.

Both machines are running El Capitan 10.11.3 (note the .3). I wonder if that is the incompatibility because otherwise the 2 Macs are quite different in detail makeup.

It's not a hardware incompatibility issue, there are some pretty old Macs running the new version just fine.

No, I was wondering if it had to do with the .3 changes from 10.11.2 to 10.11.3 since that is the commonality of the two different hardware bases, the Mini and the Air.

The 2 machines, very different, except that they both run not just 10.11 but now 10.11.3.

Where else to look....

What's the "Allow applications downloaded from" setting set to on the General tab of the Security & Privacy dialog in your System Preferences?

Allow apps downloaded from:
o
* Mac App Store and identified developers
o

Tim, I will back away after this comment but could you get someone you know who is running Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (--> .3)
to try installing and running FZ3.15.0 ?

I will go away.

Thanks.

Hey just wanted to pop in to say that I had this issue with 3.15.1 and was able to resolve it by setting the App security to "Anywhere"

@jazzsequence will try that! I'm out of ideas. Thanks.

Please try this test build: https://filezilla-project.org/codesquid ... pp.tar.bz2

Good news! This version worked on my Air! The original report was on my Mac Mini but I am not home at this time. As soon as I get home I will try and report here. Thanks !

Home at last! YES, this version: 3.15.0.1 works on the Mac Mini where the issue first came to light.

Many Thanks.

Hi I too was having this same problem setting the ability to load apps from anywhere on my mac made this work which was nice.
The small print on this setting on mac says that if you dont use it for 30 days it will revert to default settings which is im sure what has happened in my case as I was running fine previously.
