Errors As Soon As I Open Program
I've never been able to use FileZilla because every time I open it or close it I immediately get multiple popup errors. I've tried downloading it multiple times over the course of months because I keep trying again and again. I've put the errors below. How do I fix or stop them and get this thing working?
Error writing xml file (APPEARS FOUR TIMES)
Could not write "/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml": Failed to write xml file
Error saving queue
An error occured saving the transfer queue to "/.config/filezilla/queue.sqlite3":. Some queue items might not have been saved.
Error loading queue (APPEARS TWICE)
An error occured loading the transfer queue from "/.config/filezilla/queue.sqlite3". Some queue items might not have been restored.
Filezilla Error
Directory '/.config/filezilla' couldn't be created (error 13: Permission denied)
If it helps I'm using a Mac.

Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
Did you at any point decline a prompt by macOS to grant FileZilla permission to access its own configuration files?
Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
Nope. I just checked to make sure to and it has access to files & folders.
Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
Check the permissions of the directory ~/.config/filezilla as well as the files it contains, and also its parent directory ~/.config
Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
I'm not sure how to do that. Is it one of the hidden folders in my harddrive? I'm not sure how to unhide them using Terminal.
Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
ls -l to list files and permissions, and chmod to change permissions if needed.
Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
UPDATE: I never got FileZilla to work, it just kept erroring, so I switched to a different program which works no problem whatsoever. If you use Mac and have this issue try Transmit 5.

Re: Errors As Soon As I Open Program
It appears that the ownership got changed to system by mistake on your machine for the ./config folder
To restore the default permission, execute the following command on the terminal:
When prompted for a password, enter your login password.
Once done, Open the Filezilla again and it should work.
To restore the default permission, execute the following command on the terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R <username> .config
