Quick Connect Filezilla

I want to be able to set up a quick connect for SFTP connections using filezilla. Is there a way for it to prompt for user name and password?

HI

You must create a template and set the host to $QUICK_CONNECT$, then chose SFTP (global templates are recommended)

The issue arises because prompting for credentials is not available for the FTP type, but we have two solutions

if you select "My personal credentials" and in those you check "always prompt for password", when the dialog pops up you will be able to specify a username password

The second option requires you create credential entries for all your username/passwords, in the template for the credentials you choose "credential repository", then "prompt on connection", this will show a dialog so you can select which credential entry to use. (EDIT: I just realized that you could create a credential entry and check its "always prompt for password" value as well, this means you do not need to create a whole set of credential entries)

I will add the help links in a second reply.
