How To Automate Filezilla
Filezilla does not provide any way to automate file transfers, but you can import your FileZilla Site Manager data into Diplomat MFT to effortlessly automate your transfers.
Step 1: Export Your Filezilla Site Manager Data
Launch Filezilla and choose “Export…” from the “File” menu. Choose all available settings to export so that we can accurately create Diplomat MFT transactions to match your Filezilla settings. Save the resulting file in a location that you can remember (such as your Desktop).
Step 2: Import The File Into Diplomat MFT
Using the Filezilla Import tool, you can point to the file you saved in step #1 to import the Filezilla Site Manager data into Diplomat MFT. The Site Manager data will be imported according to the Diplomat MFT edition you have licensed. For Enterprise edition, all Site Manager entries become partners, but for Standard and Enterprise the Site Manager data is used to populate the transaction directly. For each entry in the Site Manager, a Diplomat MFT transaction is created so you can set up the schedule, notifications, archive, and other options specific to your business need.
Step 3: Test Transactions
You can use the “test” button in Diplomat MFT to verify the connectivity details to remote servers and network paths. Once confirmed that you can connect to those locations, you can click the “Run Now” button to immediately execute the transaction in order to confirm that all files transfer as expected. Once you are satisfied, you can enable the transaction to run on the specified schedule — and your job is done!
Automation Complete!
With a few simple steps, you can automate FileZilla transfers by migrating the Site Manager data into Diplomat MFT. Then, you enjoy all the automation and security benefits of Diplomat MFT, freeing up your time to work on the other important business projects you have demanding your attention.
