I was looking for some documentation on Filezilla's fzdefaults.xml config file, and came across this page which purports to be a guide that helps you "instantly" populate an fzdefaults.xml file.
Apparently, a workflow that involves manually entering all the data in to Excel (though to be fair, it might have been in Excel already), saving it as CSV, loading it into a MySQL table, using some PHP scripts to access the data in the database, outputting the whole thing as a web page, and then manually renaming all the escaped HTML entities that show up counts as "instantly".
The worst part is that almost any Google search involving "fzdefaults.xml" brings this piece of junk up. You have to wonder how many people have followed that idiot's advice.
I'm not normally one to link to XKCD, but honestly this is only appropriate.
Oh, and as for that documentation? It looks like there's none. You just have to manually change values and see how they map to settings; though the XML is somewhat self-explanatory, you just have to guess that servertype #4 is FTP over SSL and authentication type #1 is "normal" authentication.
It all depends on your timescale. On a geologic timescale, it's instant.
