i'm working on a filezilla server and for prevent crash i want make a backup of the configuration files (users, home directory and stuff like that)

what files i can save ? and are they any particulare step i must do for configuring or restoring ?

thanks

All settings are saved in FileZilla Server.xml
Good luck!

thanks a lot

it look like very easy to backup great

Hi,

this doesnt work...

...i backup the FileZilla Server.xml and restore it after a new installation of windows and Filezille Server in the Filezilla Programm directory.

But it will not work. (Sorry for my bad english).

What i did wrong or what i can do? I will not configure all from the beginning...

Did you restart the Sever service?

No i think not, how do i do that?

EDIT:

You mean this (Screenhot)?

Yes. Two possibilities:

1. Restart the service. This will force FZ Server to re-read its configuration file.

2. Open an Admin shell (cmd or Powershell), navigate to the FZ Server directory and issue the following command:

Ok.

Thank you very much!

hi

thanks for the manual
but i can not import the old FileZilla Server.xml

the interface says

Protocol error: Invalid data, could not import account settings.

the FileZilla Server.xml file comes from an old xampp installation

please help me

I have the same problem, I have run the command above and it's still the same.

This is what I've done:
Stop/start the service
run the command from inside the filezilla server folder
I've stopped Filezilla then restarted it by right clicking the config file and selected 'open with' and chosen 'Filezilla server.

Any suggestions would be welcome please..

Sorry, still need an answer if anyone can help please..

Which version of FileZilla Server are you using?

It's really old I'm afraid; 0.9.43 beta but it's currently on Windows Server 2003 but the new server is Windows Server 2019.

Thanks in advance..

You must update to the most recent version, old versions are not supported.

@botg: I guess the issue is that the format of the old XML file from 0.9.43 is somehow not recognized (or not recognized correctly) by the new 0.9.60 version he's trying to migrate to. Usually, just copying it in and restarting the service (or issuing the command from an admin shell) should work. "Open with" the XML does not work, stop trying that, y'all.

Hopefully, the new server will eventually be ready.
