This may have gotten posted twice because I did not see it. If it did please forgive me and delte one of them.

I want to be able to open different local directories for different ftp connections. I use to use a different ftp client and I could do that in the settings for each connection but I can not seem to find anyplace to do that with FileZilla.

I know this is a support forum for Thunderbird but this is the forum you are taken to when you click the help link in the FileZilla dashboard. I will be more than happy to post my question in the FileZilla forum if someone would give me the URL to get there.

FileZilla has no relations to Mozilla.org or Mozilla related products in any way even though it is a rather old application (June 22, 2001) and has "zilla" in the name.

The homepage for FileZilla is https://filezilla-project.org/ and the official support forum the FileZilla author has is at https://forum.filezilla-project.org/

Are you sure you are being sent to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/ ? as that is not correct.

We are a support forum for the Thunderbird email client. I don't think that you'll get any useful answers for the Filezilla ftp client here.

As you suggested I needed the other site. I have no idea how I was getting here except possibly both forums are hosted on the same server and when I entered my username and password it brought me here.

The good news is I got to the right forum, asked the question, got an answer and found I had already been looking in the right place and just not seeing what I was looking for.

Gosh it ruff to get old.

Thanks, Clyde
