[edit] Doc
The doc is way out of date. I'm gonna update the command lines here for posterity:
FileZilla does support some basic command line options. The supported options are:
- URL: You can specify a URL FileZilla connect to when started
- -d <sourcefile> <targetdir>: Downloads the specified file from the server into the target dir
- -u <sourcefile> <targetdir>: Uploads the specified file into the target dir on the server. *<sourcefile> has to be the full path of the file.
- -t <targetname>: Only valid together with -u or -d: Specifies an alternate name for the target file.
- -s <site>: A saved site
Example: filezilla.exe -u "c:\Program File\FileZilla\FileZilla.exe" ftp://user:pass@ftp.myserver.com/upload -t CoolProg.exe
[edit] WINE
A while back, I added in that it is known to work at least somewhat well on WINE, but that was deleted becuase 'almost any Windows application can'. Actually, my expirience tells me that very few can nowadays, so I was thinking that it might be appropriate to add in. Thoughts? WBHoenig 02:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Please avoid WP:OR. I didn't remove the remark on wine, however it is true that wine runs A LOT of apps--especially the simple and popular open source ones. It might be appropriate to mention that FZ 3 will have Linux support and that FZ 2 works under wine (with citations for both of these). --Karnesky 02:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, then. You seem to have a lot more experience here than I do, so I'll let you decide WBHoenig 02:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 9x/ME
"As of version 2.2.23 FileZilla uses Unicode internally. As a result, it no longer runs on Windows 9x/ME."
This is helpful information -- but not as useful as it appears. The developer has abandoned Windows 9x/ME users, although the older versions seem to still be available. We need to know exactly what is the last best stable version we CAN use. 2.2.22 (2006-04-20 13:05)? Is there a usable changelog somewhere, organized by version number? 69.87.202.246 01:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
PortableApps suggests Win 95/98/ME use 2.2.22 [1] which can be downloaded here. 69.87.199.253 02:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date/TimeStamp
It seems that it is impossible to upload a file with FTP and retain the original file Date/TimeStamp. If there is a way to do this with FileZilla -- How? It just has a setting for downloads. Uploaded files are timestamped with current time. I have just wasted a half day trying every possible way, with every program I can think of. Why is there such a limitation, and what ways might there be to get around it? I guess one could zip files into an archive and transfer them that way... But I don't know how to get them unpacked at the other end. What a big nuisance! 69.87.203.244 01:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
