Synchronize FileZilla Site Manager between Windows devices

filezillasync.txt

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
5. Open Windows Command Prompt as an administrator (go to Start, search for "cmd", right mouse click on "Command Prompt" and left mouse click on "Run as administrator")
6. Run the command: mklink "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\FileZilla\sitemanager.xml" "C:\Users\[username]\Google Drive\FileZilla\sitemanager.xml" (make sure you use the correct directories to the sitemanager.xml: first the "roaming" directory and second the "shared drive" directory!)
6. Run the command: cd C:\Users
7. Run the command: mklink /j CurrentUser [username]
8. In FileZilla, open the Site Manager and do the following steps for every site that you assigned a local directory to
9. In the Advanced tab, under the default local directory, change the username to "CurrentUser"
e.g. C:\Users\[username]\Google Drive\MySite must become C:\Users\CurrentUser\Google Drive\MySite
10. Click "OK" after changing this to save your change
11. You may now close all windows. Do all of these steps on all the devices that you want to synchronize!

If everything went well, your FileZilla Site Manager will now be synced across all the devices.
I choose to keep the file name 'sitemanager.xml', but you can change this if you want to (change starting from step 3).
Let me know if you have any issues!
