FileZilla Server’s service accepts a --config-dir
parameter. You can use this parameter when starting the service.
- On Windows, to relocate the configuration files in your folder of choice, open a cmd
console with Administrator privileges and run the following command.sc config filezilla-server binpath= "\"
\filezilla-server.
exe\" --config-dir \"\"" Where
is the absolute path to your folder of choice.For example, to store the files under FileZilla Server’s installation folder, and FileZilla Server is installed under
C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server
, the command should be:sc config filezilla-server binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\
filezilla-server.exe\" --config-dir \"C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\""Quotes and spaces must be entered exactly like that.
- On Debian Linux, as root, open in an editor the file
/etc/systemd/system/filezilla-server.service

label, like this:
ExecStart=/opt/filezilla-server/bin/filezilla-server --config-dirWhere
is the directory where you want to relocate
the configuration files.Then restart the service, with the following command:
