I was looking for a way to have multiple devices because I have multiple computers and I need to sync the FileZilla Site Entries. So I found this nice article that showed me how to perform this.

These are the instructions:

  1. Create a new folder called “Filezilla” in your Dropbox – Use your favorite file manager
  2. Open this folder and create two more folders – Site Manager and Settings
  3. Copy the location of the Settings folder
  4. Open Filezilla
  5. Export your Site Manager – File – Export – check Site Manager – Save in the Dropbox folder Site Manager you just created
  6. Locate Filezilla in your Program Files folder – EX: C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client
  7. Close Filefilla
  8. Open the fzdefaults.xml.example in the Docs folder – Do not use Notepad that comes with Windows, use Notepad++ instead
  9. Find the line that reads: $SOMEDIR/filezilla/ – On line 65 for me
  10. Select (highlight) $SOMEBIR/filezilla/ and paste the location of your Settings folder
  11. Save As fzdefaults.xml in the Filezilla program folder – Not the one in Dropbox, the one in the Program Files, you may need administrative privileges
  12. Now open Filezilla, all of your sites should be there!
