Firefox Bookmarks and Settings Sync?

<< < (2/2)

MilesAhead:
The original author of SyncPlaces,SortPlaces,CheckPlaces has abandoned those AddOns. But they are being maintained available for download.  If you have your own FTP access you can sync using SyncPlaces.  The fly in the ointment seems to be if the FTP uses a port other than the default.  I cannot find anyplace to put the port number in SyncPlaces.

Edit: what I'm doing as workaround is just syncing using a file on the HD.  Now and then I upload the file to FTP using FileZilla.

That was after I chose FTP, BTW.

MilesAhead:
It likes the port.  But I get "unrecognized user or password." I just checked with FileZilla and that connects fine.

Edit: likely the encryption is messing it up.  I'm not sure what all these encryption protocols are.  So I don't really know if SyncPlaces supports them.

So you're using FTPSw (FTP over SSL/TLS) or S/FTPw (FTP over SSH) ?

MilesAhead:
FTP over SSL/TLS
is it.
