Sitemanager Last Selected

[Hoggel]

How do I get filezilla not to remember the last selected site?

I have 3 sites listed and I need to access site 1 but I have a client that only needs to access site 2, I do not want site 1 to be the selected site on the next start up after I finished using it, I want it always to default to site 2. I'm just not sure how to or what I need to change to achieve this.

After setting the client up the way you want, you can place a special file called "fzdefaults.xml" into the FileZilla program directory. You'll find an example template file in the ./docs subdirectory.
Inside that file, you can set a special option called "kiosk mode". Setting kiosk mode to 1 only prevents FileZilla from saving passwords to disk, but setting kiosk mode to 2 prevents it from writing any setting to disk. So, with kiosk mode 2, it will always start in the state you set up, and will never save any changes mode, until you revert that setting.

Other useful options can be set there, as well. They are related to administrating FileZilla (like moving the configuration to other places, preventing updates etc.).

I had a new issue come up with this.

I am using a master password because I do not want my client having the passwords, I setup the sites and set fzdefaults kiosk mode to 2. When the client accesses the site I setup if they try to move a file it prompts for the password. How do I prevent that from happening if I'm using a master password that I do not want them to have? If I set kiosk mode back to 0 it works fine but I still run into the issue where the last selected site is not the one I want it to default to on start up.

I don't think I understand your use-case. Why not simply have a separate Windows account for different users, alongside encrypted home directories? That way users cannot access what they shouldn't access.

Well I update an application and put it on the ftp, the clients all access the same account to download the new update, which has never been an issue. If I leave Kiosk mode to 0 they click connect on the site I've already setup and they download their update. However If I login and use that ftp to access my second site that does not have any user restriction and exit on next run the program selects that last used site. I would like it to default to site 1 on startup each time. So tried changing to Kiosk mode 2 however when they try to transfer a file it prompts for the password which they do not have.

Does that make sense?

You could also modify the start Shortcut of FileZilla, to let it start with a specific site being logged on right away.
