Drag & drop, password retention issues with Mac client only?
Hey all, I am having two issues with filezilla for Mac.
Drag and drop download operations don't work (upload does). Using the download/upload buttons local panes works both ways.
I also have it set to remember my password, which it does when I first connect, but every upload/download operation it prompts for the password again.
We've tested the same FTP account on PC and it works without issue. Our FTP guys tell us it's a filezilla problem, desktop support guys tell us it's a MacOs bug/problem.
Any suggestions on what else I might try to resolve please? It's really slowing me down. Latest version of FZ installed.
thanks very much!

Where do you drop the files to when trying to download?

I was trying to drag them to the desktop, also tried to a folder, and tried right-click download. None of these worked.
thank you

Dragging outside of FileZilla is not possible on platforms other than Windows. It's a technical limitation of these operating systems.

Nonsense! In the Mac's built-in Preview application, one can drag an image directly onto the desktop and have it land there as a file. In Mail, one can drag a message to the desktop and have it appear there is a file. This is an EXCEEDINGLY desirable feature, please learn how they do it and do likewise!Dragging outside of FileZilla is not possible on platforms other than Windows.

In these cases the file already exists locally.

I can not drag and drop any files from Filezilla to desktop.
macOS : Mojave
Filezilla : version 3.38.1
Is it also technical limitation ??
As far as I remember, it was possible.
For example, in version 3.37.0
If this is known issue, I am Sorry.
Thank you.

Desktop = outside of FileZilla. Dragging to the outside of FileZilla is possible only in Windows (through a Shell Extension).
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!

Note:
By downgrading to Version 3.37.0,
I can now drag to the outside of FileZilla.

Also just updated FZ and can no longer drag-and-drop into applications in the Dock. This was definitely possible in earlier versions. Pretty frustrating...
