Kiosk Mode
I have been trying to sort through the forums to find out how to get FZ to stop saving passwords. So I found "change kiosk mode to 1."
I would expect this to be in the config section of FZ - but Nooooooo.
So I cleared all previous connections. edited filezilla.xml kiosk now "1". opened FZ. connected. closed FZ. opened FZ. password is still stored. This is a problem.
plus
how do I limit the time of an inactive session?
thanks

Re: Kiosk Mode
Right. I did just that, as reported in the last post.
here is the relevant portion of filezilla.xml
and after I close, then reopen FZ, I can go to any of the 4 prior sites in "QUICKCONNECT" and connect without typing any password.
I have ensured that only one copy of filezilla.xml resides in my computer
So what am I doing wrong?
When should FZ ask for a password?
here is the relevant portion of filezilla.xml
found in
C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENT USER]\Application Data\FileZilla
<Setting name="Config Location">C:\Documents and Settings\mrozner\Application Data\FileZilla</Setting>
<Setting name="Kiosk mode">1</Setting>
<Setting name="Disable update check">0</Setting>
and after I close, then reopen FZ, I can go to any of the 4 prior sites in "QUICKCONNECT" and connect without typing any password.

Re: Kiosk Mode
Is the password still being saved after creating a new entry in the history?

Re: Kiosk Mode
yes. it appears to be intact and in real text in "recentservers.xml"
I cleared all 4 private data boxes in "edit-clear_private_data"
I signed onto my FTP server
I looked at recentservers.xml
i put in the XXXXXX where I did not want to disclose
I did not restart my computer after changing filezilla.xml.

Re: Kiosk Mode
Open the Site Manager and try to create an entry with Logontype ''Normal'' or ''Account''. If that succeeds, then FileZilla is not running in kiosk mode (Normal and Account logotypes are not available in this mode).
Such limits are set by the server.how do I limit the time of an inactive session?

Re: Kiosk Mode
Odd. Do you have a file called fzdefaults.xml in the program directory of FileZilla? This file can be used to redirect the settings location, and it could still contain a kiosk mode 0 setting which overrides the one in filezilla.xml.

Re: Kiosk Mode

no. no such file anywhere in usually explored part of hard drive. there is a
fzd~.xml.example in that directory
filezilla.xml in UBCD4 directory (no kiosk setting)
I renamed filezilla.xml in my application directory, started FZ. A new file appeared with kiosk = 0. Where did that originate - FZ code not accessible to me?
I also looked at debug and logging, but these appear useful only for network debug. It does not show fetch for FZ.xml.

Re: Kiosk Mode
OOPS
fzdefaults.xml.example is in that folder.
fzdefaults.xml.example is in that folder.
Re: Kiosk Mode
Let's try something.
1. Copy the fzdefaults.xml.example file from the docs subdirectory to the program directory of FileZilla and rename it to fzdefaults.xml.
2. Open the file with a good text editor (Notepad under Windows may not work, but Wordpad does).
3. Delete everything from that file, leave only
in there.
4. Start FileZilla and check if it is now running in kiosk mode 1.

Re: Kiosk Mode
in c:\docs&settings\myname\appdata\FZ
fxdefaults.xml
still kiosk mode (i.e., site manager still has normal and account modes)
am I supposed to have TWO registry entries for FZ?
HKLM\software\Filezilla 3
HKLM\software\FileZilla Client
In addition, I just did a registrar lite search.
I also have two entries in HKU
video card is Nvidia Quadro NVS 285
I guess that this has not been reported before?
Am I looking in the right places?

Re: Kiosk Mode
Bad News
I just installed FZ from the web.
This program continues to have "normal" and "account" modes in the site manager.

Also, it's spelled fzdefaults.xml, not fxdefaults.xml
The hyphens do not belong there.Code: Select all

Re: Kiosk Mode
No! The file is called fzdefaults.xml and must be in the program directory of FileZilla, that's the one where FileZilla.exe is.in c:\docs&settings\myname\appdata\FZ
fxdefaults.xml
Normal and Account options do not disappear, even in kiosk mode. To find out if kiosk mode is enabled, select one of them and press OK. You should get a dialog window telling you that these two are not available because FileZilla is in kiosk mode.still kiosk mode (i.e., site manager still has normal and account modes)
@botg: Could we have a visual confirmation for the mode running (maybe in the About window or similar location)?
