FileZilla: cloud ftp

Submitted by justin_w on January 27, 2016 - 12:15pm

I keep looking for a good cloud solution for ftp. FileZilla Portable is ALMOST ideal. You can simply copy it to your Google Drive or Dropbox, etc. and run it from any computer that you have that same cloud app installed. The only problem is that these settings appear to be loaded only once when the program is first loaded and then saved when the program is closed. If you leave the program open on one computer and then try to use it on another computer it gives an error saying that the program was not closed correctly last time it was used.

Pidgin: Purple-Facebook plugin not loading

Submitted by CLons on November 11, 2015 - 9:56pm

Now that Facebook no longer supports XMPP, I was trying to see if I could get Pidgin to work with the new protocol.

There is a plugin that I found that seems promising: https://github.com/jgeboski/purple-facebook/wiki#basic-usage

I dropped libjson-glib-1.0.dll in PidginPortable\App\Pidgin and libfacebook.dll to PidginPortable\App\Pidgin\plugins.

But Pidgin Portable does not load the plugin. I wonder if anyone has had success with this plugin and the portable edition.

FileZilla Error message on start

Submitted by kermik on October 30, 2015 - 5:10am

After about version 3 I keep getting this error message when I start FileZilla Portable:
Error loading xml file
The file 'E:\PORTABLES\Portable Filezilla\Data\settings\queue.xml' could not be loaded.
Start-end tags mismatch at offset 87.
The queue could not be saved.

When I click OK, Filezilla starts normally and works like a dream - like it's always have done - so it's no big deal really.

When I rename the file queue.xml to queue.eksemmell, FileZilla Portable starts normally with no error message.

Any clues as to what this may be?
