CuteFTP to FileZilla Site Manager TXT to XML Converter

October 19th, 2009

I’ve recently decided to switch from CuteFTP to FileZilla and I needed a way to import the huge amount of sites that I had saved in my site manager. There were a few resources out there, but none that imported the full site information (including site name and comments).

This php script will take an exported CuteFTP TXT file and convert it into an XML file which can be imported by FileZilla.

Instructions & Download

  1. Export your CuteFTP sites to TEXT format.
  2. Replace the $inputFIle variable below with the correct exported file name
  3. Since CuteFTP does not export passwords, you may use your comments field as the password. If so, change the $commentsAsPass variable to true. If left as false, no password will be imported.
  4. Run the PHP file (make sure your exported CuteFTP sites file is in the same folder).
  5. Import the newly created XML file into FileZilla.
  6. Enjoy!

    Hi there, I am wondering if this would work with WS_FTP? The ini file is already in text format…..I know nothing about PHP though…..if you have a minute, I know, haha. ;-) If you do have a minute, could you email me?

    I have searched everywhere, can find plenty of requests wanting a conversion process, but nothing else. Thanks for taking the time to help those with Cute FTP by the way! ;-)

    Thanks,

    Suzanne

    Hi,

    i used the script and cannot manage to get a correct xml file.
    The script says output completed, but my XML is not completed.

    As an example, my text file starts with :
    Site Label: Akamai
    HostName: something.upload.akamai.com
    etc…

    and part of the content of the XML is :
    Akamai – Belgique Loisirs
    HostName

    this looks like the Name doesn’t stop at the line break. Any clue ?
