Synchronize FileZilla Site Manager between Windows devices
This example makes use of Google Drive (Backup and Sync from Google), but you can use other shared drive services such as OneDrive, Dropbox, box.com, WebDAV... as well.
Always replace [username] with your username on your device (you can find this by going to C:\Users in Windows Explorer).
Requirements:
- correctly installed and configured FileZilla
- correctly installed and configured shared drive service that is installed in the same user directory and uses the same account on all the devices
1. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\FileZilla\sitemanager.xml
2. Open a new Windows Explorer window and go to the shared drive location (e.g. C:\Users\[username]\Google Drive\FileZilla)
3. Copy the sitemanager.xml from the "roaming" Windows Explorer window to the "shared drive" window
4. In the "roaming" Windows Explorer window, rename sitemanager.xml to sitemanager.xml.BAK to create a back-up file
