Request new feature - transfer files directly from one ftp account to another

#1 Post by hiduke » 2020-09-12 21:00

Currently, as far as I can figure out, if I wish to move a file from one ftp server to another ftp server I must download that file to my computer from server A and then upload it again to server B. The same goes for copying a file from one file folder on server A to another file folder on the same server.
Am I missing something or would this be a new feature for FileZilla?
If it is new, I hope it would not be too difficult to implement as it would save huge amounts of time and avoid a lot of grief in missing a file, etc.

FileZilla does not support server-to-server connections and transfers, and it never will. The reason is that this feature cannot work securely (with FTP over TLS).
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.
