plz i need help what could it be the problem and how can i solve it. I meen the error message gives a solution but how do i execute that ms-dos ???

[boco]

In the program dir of Filezilla, is there a folder called 'resources'?

You don't need DOS for the command line parameters. Simply edit the shortcut in the start menu and add the parameter after the executable name (+a blank) in the 'Target' field.

Hi, I just installed the latest version of FZ and get this error now. Ive never had any problems before.

xp pro. Theres no resource file in the main folder. There is the main exe and a .dll

???

You need all files in the 'resources' directory to run Filezilla.

Filezilla program dir:

.\docs
.\resources
AUTHORS
filezilla.exe
fzputtygen.exe
fzsftp.exe
fzshellext.dll
fzshellext_64.dll
GPL.html
mingwm10.dll
NEWS
uninstall.exe

Dear all,

I ran into the same problem today. I found another solution. Previously, FileZilla was installed in folder "C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client", but all of a sudden the new version was placed in "C:\Program Files\FileZilla Client", without any subfolders, and without asking me anything about location. When I downloaded and installed FileZilla agin, all went well and the files ended up in "C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client". Everything is fine now.
