SFTP global settings panel (Relative paths)

#1 Post by mutny » 2023-12-16 08:22

I am using the Portable version and there is some inconvenience with using the "Global SFTP key manager"

In the profile settings I can indicate a relative path to the key but in the Global settings I already have to indicate an absolute path. If I move the USB drive to another PC then the assigned drive letter changes and you have to configure everything again.

Any chance of adding such a possibility?

Unlikely. You should prefer installing software the regular way for security reasons, use of "portable" software has negative security implications.

I understand, but if FileZilla client puts so much on security aspect then maybe should abandon in releasing portable versions, of course, this is all for our safety :) Unfortunately, sometimes we are forced to use the Portable version of the client and such a possibility would make our lives much easier. Why does everyone want to decide for us what is good and safe for us :(

FileZilla does not release portable versions. The ZIP package is not portable, it merely lacks the Installer.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!

You're right.
