Internet Apps Support

I just noticed that FileZilla 3.0.7.1 was available so I thought I'd give it a try. Interface looked nifty but then I realized that the support for SOCKS-proxies is non-existant.
Which is a real pity, I really need that feature along with some other features which aren't supported (yet).[1]

Anyways, there are a couple of errors in FileZilla's portable app-page[2]:

1) "Features: It supports [...] SOCKS4/5 and HTTP1.1 support [...]"
-> Not true for this version.

Hello,

I've tryed to install filezilla portable on a network share where users have only read access.
I've copy the file filezillaportable.ini in the same directory as the launcher and change the setting "SkipBackups=false" as explained in the read me file.

But I've always errors saying that the files *.xml could'nt be writen ? ...

Please help ...

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm missing something but when I create a Windows shortcut to PuTTYPortable.exe and set it to run Maximized, it doesn't. Is there another way? Thx

I have tried to import the settings from my desktop putty (same version 0.60) but it refuses to work.
I exported the registry branch and placed it into the setting as putty.reg. When I view the content it looks ok.
Then start the putty portable, the settings are not present.
However when closing putty portable, the putty.reg is renamed into putty.reg.old and new putty.reg file is created.
Seetings done then on the putty portable itself will be kept in this new reg, provided the putty is closed ordinaly and not somehow by the telnet session itself etc.

Can we add pageant to puttyportable? Is it portable? It'd be useful to click on "puttyportable.exe" and have both pageant and putty pop up... thanks!

I tried to open Pidgin Portable just now (it's the latest one). I get as far as entering my MSN details, after I click on OK, it brings up the Pidgin Portable windows, but with nothing in them. It freezes instantly and then comes up with the following error message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pidgin has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on
might be lost.

Please tell Microsoft about this problem.

Basically, I want to ditch non-portable, closed SecureCRT and start using PuTTY. I've got a bunch of SSH2 public keys in SecureCRT format.

I would like to import the SSH2 public keys into the putty.reg file. Any method to do this would be easier than reverifying everyone's fingerprints.

If the key on the remote computer is in the form of:

ssh-dss {public key all on one line}

then, SecureCRT simply reformats it like this:

---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
{public key from above, wrapped 68 characters per line}
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----

I have been using portable gaim for awhile now on my usb drive. I like the fact that the apps are self contained and don't really install anything anywhere. Anyways, I've been using the logging option and like the fact that the logs are backed up in the data folder on my flash drive. But now that I'm going to install it on my computer, is there any way I can change the location of where the logs are stored? Is this even possible?

I've searched the forum and found a couple post on how to change my pidgin theme but I did not understand them. could someone please walk me thru it? I guess Im not that computer savy.
Thanks,
Ed

I have just stumbled upon PuTTY Connection Manager, an application which allows having multiple tabs, i. e. simultaneous PuTTY sessions open at the same time.
I am wondering whether this useful piece of application can be provided within a portable application?
I see one problem: PuTTY Connection Manager needs Microsoft's .NET Framework installed on the computer. Maybe a portable installation routine could check whether the framework is installed and, if so, display a question whether it should be installed or not. Just an idea.
If it's not possible, here's the link for you PuTTYers:
