How to change FileZilla so that View/Edit opens .html in Notepad++, not Firefox

As an IT administrator, it can be helpful to know how to change the settings in FileZilla so that HTML files are opened with Notepad instead of Firefox. This article will explain how to do that.

FileZilla is an open-source, cross-platform FTP (file transfer protocol) client. It is used to transfer files between computers on the Internet. FileZilla is typically used to upload and download files from web servers, such as webpages, scripts, and images.

When you view or edit a file in FileZilla, it will open the file in the default program for that file type. By default, HTML files are opened in the Firefox web browser. However, you can change the settings so that HTML files are opened in Notepad instead.

To do this, open FileZilla and click on the “Edit” menu. Then, select “Settings” from the drop-down menu. In the settings window, click on the “File Types” tab. This will bring up a list of all the file types that FileZilla can open.

Find the “HTML” entry in the list and click on it. This will bring up the “Edit File Type” window. In this window, you can change the “View/Edit” command to open with Notepad instead of Firefox. To do this, click on the “Browse” button and navigate to the Notepad program in your computer.

Once you have selected the Notepad program, click on the “OK” button to save your changes. You will now be able to open HTML files in Notepad when you view or edit them in FileZilla.

It is also possible to change the settings in FileZilla so that it will open other types of files in Notepad instead of their default programs. To do this, follow the same steps as above, but select the other file type you want to open in Notepad.

Changing the settings in FileZilla to open HTML files in Notepad instead of Firefox is a simple process. It is an important setting to know how to change, as it can be helpful for IT administrators who need to view or edit HTML files in FileZilla.
