How to Automatically Update Filezilla?

Everytime I open FTP client software FileZilla, there is a new version that I need to manually download and install. How can I automate the process so it is not as obtrusive,prompting me to update every time I start the software?

I'm on Mac, but how can this process be automated in general?

If you use homebrew (The Hidden Package Manager for OSX)

then just brew upgrade in terminal.app and everything installed with homebrew (filezilla) is also upgraded. Silently, Quickly, automatically. Its also possible to schedule that command to happen at custom intervals with cron, but I have little success in that field.

There should be Install new version on the new version notification dialog.

If you do not get it, FileZilla probably has problems downloading the update automatically.

Are you behind a proxy? You may need to configure it in Edit > Settings > Connection > Generic proxy.
