    Filezilla through ethernet but, everything else through wifi?

    I would like to set my computer up to run file transfers in filezilla to go through an ethernet cable but, I would like to have all my internet activity go through my wireless interface. Is this possible to do?
    Whoever came up with the phrase "There is no such thing as a stupid question" obviously never had the internet.

    Yes, but it probably isn't worth the hassle and complexity.

    Stock networking likes to use subnets/netmasks to determine routing. You want to use something other than that - which means non-standard networking.

    Using iptables with the -userid option and running one of the programs under a different uid, you can force that you want. Others here have, however, I have not. -m owner --uid-owner are the options to look into.

    Good luck.
