How to use FTP link/URL with FileZilla?
I use FileZilla for FTP upload and download from FTP shares, websites. But I always struggle with using direct FTP links/URLs, like:
or FTP structured like this:
ftp://user:password@host:port/path
Is there a way to use FileZilla without setting up New Site for each FTP link? Can I just copy & paste the link to something in FileZilla that will start downloading, like any browser does?

You can paste a URL to Host box on Quickconnect bar. Once you click Quickconnect button, the URL is parsed into Host, Username, Password and Port.
And actually even a protocol is recognized, so you can e.g. paste sftp:// URL to connect with SFTP, what is otherwise not directly possible with Quickconnect bar.
In 'View' menu make sure that 'Qickconnect bar' is enabled.
If so, toolbar with fields 'Host', 'Username', 'Password', 'Port' and the button 'Qickconnect' will be shown just under main menu.
Fill all needed fields, press 'Qickconnect' and you'll got what you want.
Good luck!
