When you first launch FileZilla, you’ll be greeted by the paneled main GUI screen. Keep reading to see some screenshots of the abovementioned features. In a nutshell, FileZilla works for practically any protocol on any platform and in any language.
Configurable transfer speed limits ( lets you manage bandwidth). 
Support for FTP, FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS), SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Easy to use graphical user interface ( tabbed connections, bookmarks, drag-and-drop file transfer, Site Manager). When pitching it to them, mention these features: If you’re working with a Technology or Wed Development team or a client, chances are they use FileZilla, too, and if they don’t, you can suggest it to them so you’re all on the same page. That alone is a reason to download it to all of your Windows, Mac OS and Linux-based computers right now. Ahhh – FileZilla! FileZilla Client Features and OverviewįileZilla is a free, standalone, cross-platform GUI FTP client that supports FTP, FTPS and SFTP. Anytime I make an upgrade to groovyPost, I transfer the new files to my website using an FTP client. For example, almost all Webmasters use FTP to transfer files from their computer to the Webserver. All the communication between your browser and my server is running over HTTP ( Hypertext Transfer Protocol).įTP (File Transfer Protocol) works pretty much the same way at HTTP only instead of displaying websites in a browser, FTP users an FTP Client and FTP Server to transfer files around the internet. Take this website for instance, you’re using your Internet Browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari etc.) as the Client to connect to my Web Server which is running. Pretty much everything on the internet is Client / Server based. There is also a FileZilla Server edition which won’t be discussed here since most of you probably don’t need to host an FTP server on the internet… What is an FTP Client used for? FileZilla's interface, features, ease of use, and price/value are all excellent.Note: This is a review and screenshot tour of the FileZilla Client. The rating system here should include a rating for Reliability. Queued transfers can continue even when the remote directory cant be listed, but no new transfers can be added to the queue. Sometimes the remote directory list fails, which prevents dragging files to it. My timeout detection is set at 30 seconds. 
So I transfer files in groups of five.Īnother problem is inexplicable timeouts that occur even while files are actively transferring. That forces me to retransfer every file if the job has any errors. Sometimes files that show critical transfer error are not the same files that didnt make it. This morning I uploaded 445 files and only 390 made it, and two ended up with zero bytes in error. Ive been using FileZilla for over a year and its still the best free FTP program Ive found, but for me it is unreliable.
