Configuration

Overview:

FileZilla supports many configuration options that you can set with the "FileZilla Options" dialog box. Click "Settings" under the "Edit" menu to open up the dialog box.

Under normal conditions you don't have to configure FileZilla. FileZilla comes with a default set of options that is optimal for most users.

The options are divided into several pages that are indexed on the left side of the options dialog. Click on any entry in the tree to open that page.
