How to disable FileZilla update notification

Disabling updates in settings simply doesn’t work and will remind you that there is an update even if this is disabled every time you start it.

To solve the problem first make sure that FileZilla is closed. Then locate it’s config file at:
 
\appdata\roaming\filezilla\filezilla.xml

or for portable version located at:  

\data\settings\filezilla.xml.


Open the file for editing with notepad or wordpad & locate the line with value starting with:

<Setting name=”Update Check New Version”>

and delete that entire line it is a long piece of code and save the file. Now launch filezilla and you will no longer have the annoying update screen.
