And then when its time to move to a new computer (like now) I have to reconfigure dozens of them.

Filezilla Mini Free And Open

It is a free and open source FTP client that works on Windows, Linux and Mac it can be downloaded from here.

Filezilla Mini Password So That

Filezilla has many features, one of the nicest features is called Site Manager where it saves the server information along with your user name and password so that you can connect to it quickly.

If your a webmaster with many websites and random passwords this is a definite time saver.

If you are like me and a lot of other webmasters you have a regular computer and a laptop for the road.

This posts assumes your copying from settings Windows to another Windows machine as thats what most people use.

I will show you where the folder in on Ubuntu and OS X the file is the same on all platforms and can be copied between systems without issue.

Simply go to File Export and select what you would like to export.

You may get a warning stating the the export was created using a newer version of Filezilla (especially going from Windows to Ubuntu), from what I can tell its safe to ignore this warning.

Site manager is the leftmost icon, Ive highlighted it in the screenshot below.

Click New Site, name it and put in your host, select Logontype normal from the drop down and input your user name and password.

Connect to each account to make sure it works then close Filezilla.

For instructions on how find your app data folder click here (new window).

Now you want to copy the sitemanager file to a thumb drive or perhaps email it to yourself.

Keep this file secure The passwords are stored in plain text anyone can open the file in any text editor and view all your account information.

Alternatively you can copy the whole Filezilla folder to your thumb drive to save all the programs settings.

Be sure to install and run Filezilla first on the second machine so that it create the Filezilla folder under appdata.

Alternatively you can install Filezilla and dont run it then if you copied the whole folder just drag and drop it to appdata.

If you copied the whole folder just drag the folder off your thumb drive to your home folder and rename it to.filezilla then launch Filezilla and all your sites will be there.

If you just copied the sitemanger.xml file.

First launch Filezilla by going to Applications Internet Filezilla then close it.

Copy sitemanager.xml to.filezilla and relaunch all your sites will be there.

Alternatively you can copy the Windows folder from your thumb drive and rename it to.filezilla then drop it into your home folder.

Might be good for those follks that needed to revert back to version 2 because of the trouble in keeping a connection alive in FileZilla v3.

Its pages like this that are the only true fixes for computer problems.

Thanks.
