The new FileZilla seems to be a bit more user friendly. However I wish there was a way to have imported my list of sites.
I was actually surprised that they didn’t do that, too. Of course the whole program was essentially re-written from scratch to be cross-platform, so it may have been too difficult to do that.
I suppose for the cascual user it is not such a big deal. However I have multiple sites I maintain/update so it was a bit of a pain to ‘rebuild’ my site list (especially when you have the application set to remember passwords).
good to see linux distros here. it will be good if you could add a updates linux apps.
Unfortunately I don’t use enough Linux apps to know what’s good, and what’s not. I really only like to write about the programs that I’ve tried myself, and I’m still getting comfortable trying to do just the Windows ones. So I’ll probably stick with that for awhile.
