Set Application To Open File Types in Filezilla Using Mac

This post shows you how to change your Filezilla settings so any file you view/edit in Filezilla, opens with a specific application.

In this case, all files will open using Text Wrangler for Mac users.

Windows users might want to set Notepad++ instead.

If you don’t configure these settings In Filezilla, your files may open using notepad in Windows or text/edit in Mac which isn’t safe to edit.

Rather then open your files using text/edit, notepad or your browser, a better and safer option is to open your files using your code editor.

If you view/edit a file in Filezilla after connecting to your server, it won’t automatically open using your default text/code editor:

view-edit

To change the settings so the files on your server open with a specific program:

  1. Open Filezilla
  2. Tap the Filezilla tab
  3. Click Settings

filezilla-settings

Next, in Filetype associations ( Under File Editing ), uncheck inherit systems filetype associations because this feature does not always work.

Finally,

  1. Click file editing
  2. Use custom editor
  3. Browse for your code/text editor on your local machine
  4. Always use default editor
  5. Ok

If you haven’t setup your filetype associations correctly on your local machine, this should guarantee all file types open using your selected application when you edit/view the file in Filezilla.
