Managing Your Quickconnect in Filezilla

So, I had some ftp connections in my quickconnect which I wanted to remove as in Filezilla there’s NO easy way to remove those from the UI itself. One has to access the recentservers.xml file and remove the section related to those ftp connections from there.

Unfortunately most of the sites show the location of the xml file in newer operating systems.

Here’s where I found it on Windows XP, since most of the companies are still using Windows XP

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\FileZilla

Remove the section pertaining to connection you want to remove, i.e.

<Server>
    <Host>unwanted server connection</Host>
    <Port>21</Port>
    <Protocol>0</Protocol>
    <Type>0</Type>
    <User>John</User>
    <Pass>mypassword</Pass>
    <Logontype>1</Logontype>
    <TimezoneOffset>0</TimezoneOffset>
    <PasvMode>MODE_DEFAULT</PasvMode>
    <MaximumMultipleConnections>0</MaximumMultipleConnections>
    <EncodingType>Auto</EncodingType>
    <BypassProxy>0</BypassProxy>
</Server>

This should do it!

Let me know if there’s any issue with that
