Where are FileZilla Server’s/FileZilla Pro Enterprise Server’s Configuration Files?

FileZilla Server

The location where configuration files are saved depends on the operating system FileZilla Server is running on.

  • The configuration files for the server reside under %LOCALAPPDATA%\filezilla-server and the files for the Administration interface under %LOCALAPPDATA%\filezilla-server-gui where %LOCALAPPDATA% is the environment variable which expands to the local AppData directory of the user that’s running the service and Administration interface.

  • On Debian Linux, the configuration files for the server reside under /opt/filezilla-server/
    etc/     and the ones for the Administration interface under ~/.config/filezilla-server-gui, where ~ is the home directory of the user that’s running the FileZilla Server’s Administration interface.

  • On macOS the configuration files for the server reside under /Library/Preferences/org.filezilla-project.filezilla-server.service and the Administration interface’ ones under $HOME/.config/filezilla-server-gui.

On Windows, by default, FileZilla Server’s service runs as the SYSTEM user hence, if the boot drive is C:\, then the configuration files reside under %PROGRAMDATA%\filezilla-server.
