I love using #Linux, but sometimes it can be a right pain in the ass, Having installed #fedora on a third PC at home, I just wanted to share a folder to drop some files from my #arch set up to it. Create a shared folder I said to my self, but after more than ten minutes trying to do a #smb shared folder with no luck. I gave up and just used #filezilla, got that working in about one minute sharing a folder in Linux, over complicated, grrrr

#WinSCP kennt ihr?
Gibt's was gleichwertiges für #Linux / #Debian ?

Wer #FileZilla nennt, dem oder der hau ich die Tastatur um die Ohren Das kotzt mich übelst an.

FileZilla Client 3.69.1 was released on April 23, 2025. This release comes with bug fixes and minor changes.

FileZilla is a free, open-source FTP client and server software. It allows users to transfer files between their local computer and remote servers, primarily used for website uploads and downloads.

There are discussions going on about potential issues with FileZilla, including a malware alert and concerns about password storage.

TIL #Filezilla now accepts your #SSH private key unmodified. You no longer have to convert it to a putty style key.

Sweet jesus...Chrome?

I don't even wanna know how this arrangement came about.

Hard pass.

Why does #qbittorrent for Windows open a http link in the browser after you click "yes" when it notifies you of an update? Why doesn't it just open a magnet link, downloading the update as a torrent from within qbittorrent? That would be much more convenient IMHO. When there is a #Filezilla for Windows update and you click "yes", it just opens an FTP link within the running Filezilla instance, then closes Filezilla and runs the installer, qbittorrent should do it like that, only with a magnet link to a torrent, of course.

Looking for recommendations please of a FTP client for #Linux. I have typically used #WinSCP on Windows but now I need something for my Linux machine. I do like the side by side layout of local and remote directories. #FileZilla appears to be an option.

#Mobile #Tipp

#ShareMe App - Funktioniert Transfer #Android <> #Windows ?

Weil es bei uns diskutiert wurde: Es gibt keine ShareMe App für Windows, aber funktioniert mit FTP-Tools wie #FileZilla (OpenSource) gut.

Ja, FTP ist auch als Boardmittel verfügbar, nutze aber bevorzugt aufgesetztes FTP-Tool

ShareMe: Aufstarten, Menupunkte anwählen, Option "PC Austausch"; Adresse wird generiert, diese beim FTP-Tool erfassen usw.

Dear Friends of NOT giving up,

There I was, trying to set up a virtual server #instance with a hosting company. I am so niave, out of touch, etc, that I thought I would get access
to an area allowing me to run a mastodon instance...

No!?

#Krystal (hosting company) say I need root access?
Surely I just need an FTP set up (#Filezilla in my #Linux case)
and can upload the required stuff (a technical term)?

So far I have uploaded a test webiste. A Cpanel program (that is very good, apart from a horrible commercial at the base)

It does not really feel like my space at all.

I will be sobbing and screaming into a cushion for a while.

=== krystal email, pertinent bits:

You have a shared hosting package, which means you share a server with other users.

To set up a Mastodon server, you require root access to run/install certain packages - that is not available on our shared hosting servers because that would impact other users.

To host websites/emails/databases, your current package is more than suitable. However, in specific use cases like setting up a Mastodon server, you will require a server that is not shared with other users (VPS):

What a day! First I was using `float` and `clear`, and now I'm uploading files via FTP. #filezilla

#GitCaught campaign relies on #Github and #Filezilla to deliver multiple malware

Current status:

I have a bunch of files in an old FTP server that I cannot download with FileZilla... because

However, cURL is perfectly capable of downloading them.

Upgrade PuTTY if you're using it. This may also affect things like WinSCP, FileZilla, TortoiseGit, Tortoise SVN

(also https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2024/q2/122)

We found a critical vulnerability in #PuTTY SSH client with NIST P-521 keys, that allows private key recovery from only 60 signatures, CVE-2024-31497! If you use #Putty or #Filezilla with ECDSA P-521, upgrade now and generate a new key! Joint work with @Skrillor!

CVE-2024-31497: Secret Key Recovery of NIST P-521 Private Keys Through Biased ECDSA Nonces in #PuTTY Client

PuTTY client and affected components generate biased ECDSA nonces for NIST P-521 (due to first 9 bits of nonce being zero). Assuming ~60 signatures signed by the same secret key can be collected the attacker may be able to recovered the associated private key.

Affected:
- PuTTY 0.68 - 0.80

In addition the following software packages are also affected:
- #FileZilla 3.24.1 - 3.66.5
- #WinSCP 5.9.5 - 6.3.2
- #TortoiseGit 2.4.0.2 - 2.15.0
- #TortoiseSVN 1.10.0 - 1.14.6
(this list may be incomplete)

The DFIR Report provides a case study of a ransomware incident in February to late March 2023 where the initial access was Microsoft OneNote files to deliver IcedID malware. Cobalt Strike and AnyDesk were used to target a file server and a backup server. After exfiltrating data with FileZilla, Nokoyawa ransomware was executed. The DFIR Report provides everything from attack chain, to IOC, to MITRE ATT&CK and also Diamond Model. https://thedfirreport.com/2024/04/01/from-onenote-to-ransomnote-an-ice-cold-intrusion/
