Making FileZilla 3 Client Portable
The FileZilla free FTP client is available for all the major operating systems. To make the latest Windows release portable, follow these steps:
- Visit the FileZilla Client Download page and download the .zip package
- Unzip the package to your desired location. z:\filezilla for example
- Copy z:\filezilla\docs\fzdefaults.xml.example to z:\filezilla\
- Rename z:\filezilla\fzdefaults.xml.example to fzdefaults.xml
- Edit z:\filezilla\fzdefaults.xml and change the following line under settings:
- Save the file then launch FileZilla
<Setting name=“Config Location”>$SOMEDIR/filezilla/</Setting> Change to: <Setting name=“Config Location”>.</Setting>
If you were running an older 2.x version of the FileZilla client, you can import your FTP sites by selecting Edit/Import.
