I don’t know of a way to do that. FileZilla is a file transfer utility, not a backup utility. A backup utility will clear the archive bit on a file when it makes a backup. When the file is changed, the bit is set again, so it is easy to detect for incremental backups.

It might be possible to do this from a command line, but it looks like the command line was removed in FireZilla 3.x.

This would be a nice feature. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can this be done?

I had to dig to find out where the codes originated, but there isn’t very much info. It appears that it may be related to the type of FTP daemon used on your server. Personally, I would also like to see the name of the owner and group, rather than a code, but it doesn’t look like it is something that you can configure in FireZilla. Even if you could change the display, you cannot change file ownerships with an FTP utility.

The easiest way to do this is to transfer the files to your PC from the first server and then transfer them to the new server. If you are moving to a different server, you will also have to transfer the database.

Be aware that you may have some configuration issues in your blog. You may need to set the new default URL before you backup and transfer the database.

Thanks!

Is it telling you that the password is incorrect, or “Could not connect to the server”? The “Could not connect…” message doesn’t specifically mean that your password is incorrect.

Check again to make sure that everything is correct with your login information. Upper and lower case characters do matter. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between and 1 and a lower case L, or a zero and an upper case O.

Check with your office IT support people to see if they are blocking FTP access from some office computers. Many companies do that these days. Your company could have a firewall (most smart companies do), which may require special access settings.

If you are using FileZilla 3, try using the Network Configuration Wizard found under the Edit menu. It can help troubleshoot connection problems.

There are lots of issues that could block the access to your web site.

You might want to try calling tech support at your hosting company. If that was the webmaster you talked to, you might have talked to a rookie. A lot of the tech support people that answer the phones at hosting companies do not really know much about servers–and they typically always blame the problem on something other than their systems–or their lack of knowledge. If you do not get a good answer, try escalating it to a tech who works with the servers.

Thank you for helping so many people with Filezilla!

I am currently trying to connect to my host site. I have all of the log in information. I have double checked the info with my webmaster. I followed his instructions to the T, and he has no alternative for me to try. The program goes through all the motions and then reports my password is incorrect. I know that another computer in my office used the exact same information and was able to connect. They have not changed the password.

Do you have any advice?

Thank you so much,

I’m not sure what you mean by not being able to execute multiple files at a time, but that is a server issue, not a FireZilla issue. You might want to check to see if the client server is capable of executing PHP or whatever scripting language you using. Also, check the permissions on the scripts. In additon, make sure that the paths to your files are correct.

These are server and scripting issues, not FileZilla issues.
