FileZilla Review

FileZilla Logo

FileZilla is a free, open-source file transfer client that works on all operating systems, with executable binaries available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS. FileZilla offers quite a bit in the way of automated features, such as the site manager which allows you to organize your connections and login information, scheduled bandwidth restrictions that will restrict or open your transfer rate based upon the time of day, and message logging to keep track of transfers and investigate errors. FileZilla's interface is a little more complex than WinSCP, and that can make some users feel lost, but a few minutes of familiarization will allow you to take use of the time-saving UI. One of the best features is that you can navigate through folders while in the middle of a transfer because of local directory caching. The biggest let-down is that there is no task scheduler to let you upload in the middle of the night, but aside from that, it's an excellent free program!
