Question

So far it only looks like the bookmarks you make become available inside Filezilla1 but I want to make them show up on the desktop like shortcut links.

Maybe a shell script would work? I am trying to find (arguments/parameters/options) what I can pass into filezilla via a command line but no luck so far here/google/etc. I’m checking out their documentation and wiki right now but, nothing seems to be mentioning how to do this.

I’ve done similar things with WINE and Editpadpro in Linux Mint in the past but I wish I could just find a way to get the parameters listed. It wouldn’t be any different on OSX than it would anywhere else right? My friend needs it for that, but I think it could easily be ported to Linux and windows as well afterward.

The documentation for command line parameters for FileZilla is here.

It looks like the closest you can get is to do:

-c, –site
Connect to the given site from the Site Manager. Site has to be
given as complete path, with a slash
as separation character. Any slash or
backslash that is part of a segment
has to be escaped with a backslash.
Path has to be prefixed with 0 for
user defined entries or 1 for default
entries. Site path may not contain
double quotation marks. Example:
0/foo/bar/sl/ash connects to the user
site sl/ash in the site directory
foo/bar Start with Site Manager
opened. May not be used together with
-s nor with URL parameter. May not be used together with -c nor with URL
parameter.—-
