I am trying to build FileZilla on OS X. However, I'm running into a problem with wxWidgets:
FileZilla Client: Keywords: Connection Yosemite Macintosh: Cc: Component version: Operating system type: OS X: Operating system version: 10.10 Description Version 3.9.0.6.has been working just fine. I updated to version 3.10 on my desktop iMac (about 1 year old). I'm connecting filezilla on a distant ftp host using my Network Drive on OSX as 'Local Site'. Before i upgrade my Mac OSX Server to Yosemite 10.10, no issue. But after Yosemite upgrade, i am sometimes not able to get the Mac OSX Network Drive files list. Problem building FileZilla 3.14.1 on OS X Yosemite #1 Post by rrll » 2016-01-21 19:01 I am trying to build FileZilla on OS X. However, I'm running into a problem.
I built wxWidgets with --enable-printfposparam, so this isn't it. Another user on this forum was getting the same error message, so (without comparing log files), I tried the first suggested solution, I did
Filezilla Download Mac Yosemite
make uninstall on wxWidgets, then set the following env variables:Code: Select all
and rebuilt wxWidgets (as before, with legacy WebKit):However, when trying to ./configure FileZilla, I got the same error. The log file is attached.
I am new to building from source and I appreciate any help.
My preferred FTP client has, for a long time, been FileZilla. To connect to a FTP account, I generally select the account from the Quickconnect menu, as I am sure many others do. However, I find that sometimes on connecting to a new FTP account, I might mistype the information, or (as recently occurred), if the information is intentionally mis-entered, the entry is added to the Quickconnect list. Firstly, I do believe this is a subpar design – the entries should, ideally, only be added if the connection is successfully established (while I can see some merit to the current method, I think the disadvantages out-weigh the advantages).
Recently I wanted to remove a single entry from my Quickconnect menu, the following how that can be accomplished on Windows 7:
The Quickconnect list is stored in an XML file named recentservers.xml. On Windows 7, this is located in C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingFileZilla
Filezilla Os X Yosemite
The file’s structure is as follows:
To remove an FTP account from the list:
- Close FileZilla, if it is open
- Backup
C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingFileZillarecentservers.xml - Open the above file in your favourite editor
- Delete the entire Server element (
<Server>...</Server>) corresponding the entry you wish to remove and save the file. - Reopen FileZilla and check your Quickconnect list – hopefully all is well.
Given the straightforward format of the XML file, it would also be quite easy to modify an existing entry (e.g. correct a mis-entered username or password), or to add another entry by simply copying an existing one and modifying it.
A quick note – usernames, passwords, and hostnames are stored in plain text in this file – which might certainly amount to a security concern if you use a portable version of FileZilla without any additional form of encryption.
