How to Change your Automatic Updates Settings

By default, FileZilla/FileZilla Pro checks for program updates once a week, and looks only for stable updates – not beta or nightly build updates. It is recommended that you use stable versions of FileZilla/FileZilla Pro only, unless you want to test new features that may not be reliable yet.

If you want to change the frequency of update checks:

1. In the main menu, click on Edit > Settings….
2. Select Updates from the menu on the left.
3. Select a frequency from the Check for FileZilla/FileZilla Pro updates automatically drop down list.
4. Click on OK.

If you set the frequency to Never, FileZilla Pro may still prompt for an update if the update was
previously detected.

In addition to stable versions, you can use beta versions to test new features or resolve an issue:

1. In the main menu, click on Edit› Settings….
2. Select Updates from the menu on the left.
3. Select Stable and beta versions from the When checking for updates, check for drop down list.
4. Click on OK.
