FileZilla Protocol Transition and Manual Data Verification After Backup Restoration
0 reputation · 28 Dec 2025, 20:32 UTC
FileZilla does not provide a built-in restore workflow; users must copy files from a local backup archive to the remote site using the selected protocol.
The verification of transferred files relies on manual comparison of size, timestamps, or checksums, and there is no documented automated checksum report generation.
When restoring across different protocol modes (FTP, FTPS, SFTP) the client's configuration must be changed explicitly, raising uncertainty about consistent verification behavior.
Is there a native verification option that automatically checks restored files against source metadata?
Can FileZilla generate a checksum report for transferred files without external tools?
Should the client alert users when restored file attributes differ from the backup source?
