FileZilla is only an FTP client, Cyberduck can access cloud storage like S3 too.

Dolphin File Manager vs Cyberduck Comments
Positive comment by jano · May 12, 2020
Dolphin supports FTP, SFTP, SMB and WebDAV as well and gives you all the usability comfort of a normal file manager (tabs, split view, opening documents etc.). Although it doesn't support Amazon S3 and needs a plugin for Dropbox, it's covers more of Cyberduck's use cases than the other alternatives.
