TECHiE TALKS

Filezilla is an FTP Client used for transferring files from one host to the other or is used to exchange and manipulate files over a TCP/IP based network.  It is a free software downloadable on their official website filezilla-project.org.  Filezilla is one secure FTP client and so far the best FTP Client I have used.  I already have tried several software before like SmartFTP.  SmartFTP is easy to use but it is not a free software, you need to buy it so you can use it.

Filezilla has a simple user interface and for the first time I used it,  it feels like I have been using the software for a while.

You can store and manage your Websites using Filezilla with their site manager.  When we have a lot of sites to manage and forget the password we tend to search our mails again and look for the password because as what they say that you can not view your password in filezilla.   We’ll you’re wrong, passwords in filezilla can be viewed. If you have saved the login information on the site manager the here are some simple steps on how to view them .  First open filezilla and on the file menu Click Export and you will be prompted with 3 options, you can click the 3 options if you needed them.  But for now you can check the option Export Site Manager Entries.  Go to the directory where you saved the file FileZilla.xml.  Open the file using notepad or wordpad and there you can view your saved passwords.

I hope I saved your day and always remember not to let anyone access your private files, Stay Secured!
