There are also many guides on the Internet about how to integrate KeePass with FileZilla. Then start using KeePass to store your account credentials. Your best option here is to disable password storage in FileZilla Meaning they will also have access to the encryption keys or the keys encrypting the encryption keys and so on. If a malware is running on your user account, they have as much access to what you (or any other application running at the same level) have. You see, encrypting the credentials requires an encryption key which needs to be stored somewhere. Yes, it's storing passwords in plaintext, but the alternatives are only slightly more secure. Sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/filezilla.FileZilla per se isn't inherently insecure. Sudo desktop-file-edit -set-icon="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/filezilla.svg" /usr/share/applications/sktop #Change the icon of filezilla to avoid missing icons Sudo cp -a /opt/FileZilla3/share/icons/hicolor/* /usr/share/icons/hicolor/

#Copy all filezilla provided icons to the /usr/share/icons/ Sudo cp /opt/FileZilla3/share/applications/sktop /usr/share/applications/ #Copy the sktop file to /usr/share/applications/ to enable us bookmark filezilla (add it to Ubuntu dock) Sudo ln -s /opt/FileZilla3/bin/filezilla /usr/local/bin/filezilla | sed -e 's/^ # Here we make the assumption that the provided link will be a link to a linux tarball because we provide a linux user-agent to WGET filezilla-installer.sh #Get the download link of the file. Personally, I use this script on my laptop whenever a new version of FileZilla is released!Ĭopy the code below into a file and save it as filezilla-installer.sh, using the command line make it executable chmod +x filezilla-installer.sh.Finally, execute the file. This script automatically pulls the latest version of FileZilla tarball from Filezilla project website and installs it on your Ubuntu machine 🙂 Today in this blog post, I present a fully automated bash script based on my earlier script. Almost five years ago, I wrote this blog post Making an installer/updater for Filezilla on Ubuntu Linux
