Setting default application to open files through FileZilla?












23















I have installed Sublime Text 2. I have set all the default files to open with this. However, when I open a file from my server using FileZilla (by right-clicking and file and then click "View/Edit") it still opens up in Gedit.



Can I change this?

          You can set it by going to edit > Settings, and then going to the Filetype Associations section and adding the filetypes and the editor you want.

          Choose Use custom editor and browse the executable file of Sublime Text 2.

          Write in the terminal : dpkg -L sublime-text to check the sublime current location.



          And then try to find something like this : /usr/bin/subl



          Now you just need to go to - edit - settings - Filetype Associations



          And write the following :



          html /usr/bin/subl


          to open in the same window



          and...



          html /usr/bin/subl -open


          to open in the new window :)

            as per direction given in set default editor for filezilla in ubuntu 16.04 , you can modify for default editor.



            You have to change the preference as for the executable file exist in /usr/bin/$PATH for editor.

              step2



              Press CTRL + L and Search for /usr/bin sblm and select.

                You can set it by going to edit -> Settings in filezilla, and then go to Filetype Associations section and add the filetypes and the editor you want for them.



                html /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text


                /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text is executable path of the sublime text editor. You can enter your own path of executable file.

                  • click 'view/edit' on a particular text file

                    For Ubuntu 16.04.
                    First, find out where your Sublime-Text is located:
                    go to usr/bin and double click sublime-text.
                    You should see something like:



                    #!/bin/bash

                    /opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text --class=sublime-text-2 "$@"


                    Copy just the beginning of line 2:



                    /opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text


                    Add html to the front:



                    html /opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text


                    Go to edit -> Preferences -> Filetype associations and paste that in.

                      for me dpkg command didn't work. I manually had to find sublime-text installed folder and it was in snap folder of root.
                      I pasted this line in custom Editor. please check if sublime_text is available in path or update it as per your sublime_text path. Rest settings as per image reference attached please.



                      ./snap/sublime-text/18/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text


                      File-Editor Path Update FileZilla Image Reference



                      P.S : I'm on Ubuntu'18.

                        You can find directory your installation, in my case, the directory of install of sublime is:



                        snap/sublime-text-/24/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text


                        Case you have installed your FileZilla, can you open your old configure file, for it, you can use the commands:




                        vim ~/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml




                        or




                        vim ~/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml




                        in the file, you search the word "editor" using the command:
                        /editor



                        look a picture



                        In line has the directory of your old text editor.

                          Here are steps to do it quickly -



                          Step 1: Open Filezilla > Then Click on Edit Menu. Under Edit Submenu Click on Settings ( As Shown in Screenshot Below)



                          enter image description here



                          Step 2: In Settings Window Click on "Use Custom Editor" Radio Button -> Then Click on Browse Button To Choose your Default Text Editor / Code Editor. ( As Shown in Screenshot Below )



                          enter image description here



                          Step 3: In Browse Window Navigate to Installation Directory of your TextEditor You wish to use. In my use I am using "Brackets" Text Editor So I navigated to "C:Program Files (x86)BracketsBrackets.exe" that is installation directory of my text editor.



                          enter image description here



                          Step 4: Then Click on Ok Button to close Settings Wizard.



                          If your's Specific files like php files, cfm files, css files or js files still not opening in your default editor Then WAIT THERE IS ONE MORE Step you need to follow



                          enter image description here



                          Step 5 - In Settings Window that you opened in step 1 -> Click on FileTypeAssociations -> It will show list of all files extensions configured to open in specific text editor. See screenshot below -



                          enter image description here



                          You can see in above screenshot some of my filetypes are associated still with notedpad.exe. for example - i was trying to open .php file from ftp in my default text editor but its associated with notepad.exe that's why it was not opening.



                          In order to open php file in my default editor from FTP I changed below line



                          php C:Windowssystem32NOTEPAD.EXE


                          to this line below -



                          php "C:Program Files (x86)BracketsBrackets.exe"


                          I have done it for php you can do it for any other filetype you wish and also for any other texteditor you wish.

                            This is for those ubuntu user who installed sublime-text-editor by snap wanted to use in filezilla, they can use this command in "filetype associations".



                            php /snap/bin/subl

                              If you installed sublime-text via snap on Ubuntu 18.04 you can use



                              /snap/bin/sublime-text.subl

                                                                                                Step 1: Open Filezilla > Then Click on Edit Menu. Under Edit Submenu Click on Settings ( As Shown in Screenshot Below)



                                                                                                enter image description here

In my use I am using "Brackets" Text Editor So I navigated to "C:Program Files (x86)BracketsBrackets.exe" that is installation directory of my text editor.



                                                                                                enter image description here



                                                                                                Step 4: Then Click on Ok Button to close Settings Wizard.
