How to Export and Import the Transfer Queue

Export a Transfer Queue

FileZilla/FileZilla Pro can export the Transfer Queue – queued, failed, or successful transfers.

This list is exported in XML format, and can be imported in the future to restart or repeat the file transfer.

You might use this functionality to retry failed transfers another day, or to run periodic backups of a static number of files and folders.

To export the Transfer Queue for a specific remote server:

1. In the Transfer Queue, select the Queued files, Failed transfers, or Successful transfers tab.
2. Right-click on the server name.
3. Click on Export….
4. Browse to the desired file location.
5. Enter a file name (the default is FileZilla.xml) and click on Save.

To export the entire Transfer Queue:

1. In the main menu, select File > Export….
2. Tick the Export Queue checkbox.
3. Click on OK.
4. Browse to the desired file location.
5. Enter a file name (the default is FileZilla.xml) and click on Save.
