Cyberduck Help / Howto / Preferences

In general, user adjustable preferences are discussed in the context of the topic in all wiki pages.

Language

Choose the language of the user interface. It defaults to the system language when set to Default. Thirty localizations are included.

• On Mac OS X, the first matching language is chosen according to the Languages list in System Preferences → International. To change your preferred language for all applications, change the order there.

Update

An auto update feature will alert you when a new version is available and self update the application. Choose Preferences → Update → Automatically check for updates. You can also get the latest builds (​Mac, ​Windows) by manual download.

Snapshot Builds

Snapshot builds include the latest changes and are published regularly. These builds are not tested.

Beta Builds

Beta builds are published before a release and include the latest features and have been tested but haven't release quality yet.

Hidden configuration options

There are some settings which aren't yet available in the Preferences either because they are not considered stable yet or not of general interest. Follow these steps to enable a hidden preference referenced in the wiki:

Mac

Type the defaults command given in a Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities) window and restart Cyberduck.

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/ch.sudo.cyberduck.plist <property> <value>

Windows

Quit Cyberduck if it is currently running before editing any configuration file. You need to add the setting to AppData\iterate_GmbH\Cyberduck.exe_Url_*\[Version]\user.config as follows:

...
<setting name="CdSettings" serializeAs="Xml">
  <value>
    <settings>
      <setting name="[property]" value="[value]" />
      ...
    </settings>
  </value>
</setting>
...

CLI

Refer to ​Preferences.
