Install filezilla module later

Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

Install filezilla module later

Postby kaizer » 24. April 2013 10:52

Hello,

I installed XAMPP installing only the Apache and MySQL modules - I figured at the time I wouldn't need anything else.
Is there a way to add the filezilla module at a later time. Having it work with the Xampp control panel just as though I installed everything together?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, it is relatively easy to add manually since it is not tied to the other modules but not via the XAMPP installer or XAMPP method.

1. Download the server: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server
2. Create a folder in the XAMPP root ("\xampp\FileZillaFTP")
3. Start installer, after the 'I Agree' > check only "FileZilla Server" and "Administration Interface" > next
4. Set the destination folder to the folder you created in step 2 (if you installed to C:\xampp, it would be C:\xampp\FileZillaFTP) > next
5. Select the "Do not install as a service" option and uncheck "start after setup completes" > next
6. Select "Start Manually" and uncheck "Start interface after setup completes" > install
7. Open the Control Panel config (\xampp\xampp_control3.ini)
8. Under [EnableModules] set FileZilla=1
9. Under [BinaryNames] change "FileZilla=filezillaserver.exe" to "FileZilla=filezilla server.exe"

If the filezilla installer added any startup entries, you can remove those as well.

Hi there,

I've followed these same instructions and in my localhost page it says that ftp server is activated. The problem I'm having is that every time I open the control panel, FileZilla is still shown as if it hasn't been installed. I've configured the xampp config like you said but when I restart xampp the config resets too, is there another file I need to edit to make sure it doesn't reset? I've also tried to access the Filezilla Server through my Filezilla FTP client and it says the connection has been established then it just keeps timing out

Great easy walk-thru worked well for me.
I changed:
Change Under [BinaryNames] change "FileZilla=filezillaserver.exe" to "FileZilla=FileZilla server.exe"
and your ini might be named xampp-control.ini as was mine.

some tips that I had seen:

there is two lines with
Filezilla=1
[Autostart]
[EnableModules]

The first and second time that I modified the xampp-control. ini file,
only I see the first Filezilla=1, on the 14th line, the line where to make the change is the line 77th.

On the other side, when install the filezilla in the "xampp/FilezillaFTP" folder,
the installer creates another folder inside "FileZilla Server", then the route is "xampp/FilezillaFTP/FileZilla Server"

I needed to cut all files in the "Filezilla Server" folder and paste at "xampp/FilezillaFTP", before this, all run fine.

Thanks for the guide.

@ hackattack142, thank you immensely for the wonderful walk-through. You saved me a tons of headache because I almost reinstalled xampp afresh just to enable filezilla module.

Just some tip for the benefit of others:
---------------------------------------------
1) On step 7, my ini file is named xampp_control.ini and not (xampp_control3.ini)
2) Had to cut all the files in "xampp/FilezillaFTP/FileZilla Server" and paste them in "xampp/FilezillaFTP" for module to start from XAMPP Control Panel

Thanks for the guide!

Hi,

I'm trying to get the filezilla server working using this walkthrough but I'm stuck. I followed the steps, but I get the message "Port 21 in use by "Unable to open process"!"

You already have started an FTP server. Maybe you started another FileZilla separately before starting Xampp?

Probably you already started FileZilla and cannot start it twice. It already blocks itself.

Run an ftp client, you may run the simple ftp client in a command box, enter "ftp" and hit enter, then in the next prompt enter "open" with enter and when you are prompted for "(to)" or similar, enter "localhost" and see if the request is refused or you are prompted for a user and password or if you are welcome or whatever.
