![]() If the computer is moved out of the network, the Site Manager settings are no longer available, and you can't use Filezilla! I need to have access to the settings while in the field. However, like me, this did not totally address the original poster's problem. Great solution and another reason I love open source, not only is the solution simple and in plain English, but there are people who care enough to help solve other people's problems. The suggestion was made that the Site Manager location could be placed on a network drive that was accessible to both computers. The person responding to the question pointed to a XML config folder for Filezilla that will allow you to change the location of the Site Manager. I did some searching about synchronizing Filezilla's Site Manager, and found a person in the Filezilla forum looking for this very solution.

If you've been developing Web sites for a while, likely you have used Filezilla, or at least are aware of it. As anyone who knows me already knows, I love open source. Filezilla is a Free and Open Source FTP client (there is a server edition, too) that, to me, represents some of the best in open source software.
