Cannot start FileZilla from linux command line
You need to enable server access control program for X by
invoking xhost + in your normal user terminal. It
will grant any user to connect to X-server. Once you are done,
just make sure to restrict it by xhost - since its
enable by default for security reasons.

Set Filezilla so that it view/edit by default instead of downloading
Open FileZilla, enter Edit → Settings
(Alt + E, S) and to go
Interface → File lists.
There, in Double-click action you can set the
default action for double-clicking files and directories:

FTP client with "master password"
WinSCP has this feature. I just started using it
recently and so far I'm impressed. You can use passwords or
public keys. It also supports command-line use.

Change FileZilla settings in Ubuntu Linux so view/edit uses gedit
Go to Edit -> Settings....
Scroll down to File editing -> Filetype
associations.
In the Custom filetype associations box, add the
line html /usr/bin/gedit (and remove any other line
starting with html).
(Taken from here - it's Linux Mint but it should be
similar enough in Ubuntu.)

FileZilla menu not showing up in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04)
You seem to be saying that you have no menu bar in FileZilla, but
that it still responds to menu accelerators such as
Alt-E.
FileZilla keeps a record of all its settings, including the UI
layout, in ~/.filezilla. Close FileZilla, rename
that directory, and reopen the application to see if it brings
the menu bar back. If it does, then you can manually merge files
from the previous settings folder into the newly-created one to
carry forward your site manager settings and bookmarks. The file
names are all fairly self-explanatory and the content is XML so
it can easily be viewed and understood.
If this doesn't work, try a forced reinstall of the FileZilla
package. This can be done in Synaptic with Package >
Mark for Reinstallation.

FileZilla tranfer files between linux and windows machine basic tutorial
I believe FileZilla is a FTP client, so it connects to a ftp
server. Meaning if you are transfering from the windows machine
then the linux machine needs to be running a ftp server to which
you can connect.
source
filezilla open with a certain local directory in linux
You have 2 options:
- Either, specify a default folder on Filezilla site manager
and open it with
filezilla
--site=the_site_name_and_path (see below),
- Or, open it up directly, using something like:
filezilla ftp://user%3Apassword@ftpaddress/path
The tricky bit has to do with the first option (using the site
manager). The syntax is not very intuitive. You need to both
specify the path to the site name and prefix the whole thing with
a 0.
So, a website named "mysite" that you created in the Site Manager
under My Sites\Hosting will be called as this:
filezilla --site="0Hosting/mysite"
You start by typing '0', then introduce the path to the site as
seen on the site manager and ignoring the "My Sites" folder, and
finish with the site name. You enclose everything under double
quotes.
As for Local Paths...
Unfortunately this is not possible. Filezilla wasn't meant to be
used for automated transfers (see official stance, last December, 2008. 2nd
Reply). Thus command line options are limited to what you can see
through filezilla -h.
However there's an old feature request on Filezilla Trac's that was
deemed an official answer indicating plans to create a command
line client sometime after version 3. I do not know if this is
being done or not, if it was abandoned or not. I do suggest you
try the filezilla official forums. My guess is due to lack of
requests, the idea was dropped.

.tar file currupted when copied to Windows using FTP
Force your FTP client to use BINARY file transfer mode - this
should be possible to set somewhere in settings.
As background: there are two modes of file transfer - text and
binary, if binary is used, data are transferred as is, if you use
text, it tries to translate ends of lines to the target platform.
In your case the latter happens and damages your archive.
source
setgid bit always unset when changing file permissions
The application is almost certainly sending the permission change
to the server in octal like 0775.
Simply checking/unchecking boxes is not going to do what you
want. If you want to set the permissions, provide the options in
octal.
To set the permission so of a directory to
drwxrwsr-x, you should send 2775 into
the numeric value box.

sftp to ec2 instance using FileZilla/Putty
First of all, lets quote the wiki:
Importing a site's public key is not supported. It's not
possible to pre-cache a public key (which I had obtained as a
keyfile from the site's administrator) to verify the server is
the one you're trying to connect to. Eventually I had to run
ssh-keygen -l -f on a Linux box, then perform a visual
comparison.
Once you have understood this, lets assume you have a .ppk file
from your Putty installation, which come down to two possible
solutions:
Using Pageant
Pageant is a daemon-like agent for storing your private keys
saving you the time to put your passwords each time you want to
use your stored ssh keys.
- You should already have installed Putty, then go to the Putty
directory in your Start Menu, and select Pageant.
- It should appear a small icon in the notification area
(besides the clock), right click it then select Add...
- Look for you private key, will ask you for your password,
then accept.
- Open FileZilla, and it should find Pageant running so it will
take your private key and authenticate to your server.
Manual method
In FileZilla:
- Go to Edit > Preferences menu.
- In the Connection - SFTP tab, look for
Add key file... button.
- Look for your key and hit Open.
FileZilla will convert this file from Password protected
to no password during the importation.
For everything else
FileZilla supports almost any SSH Agent, if the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set in the environment variables.
Please refer to your documentation for your agent in this case.

linux command prompt ftp to ftp server running on windows
The command-line ftp is working properly, and taking
you to the root of the folder that FileZilla
Server is configured to serve. If you look (more) closely at the
FileZilla Client, you can see that it, in fact, does read
/ when you connect.
description
FileZilla is a
powerful client for plain FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and
the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
