Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: FileZilla is praised for being a robust cross-platform FTP client and a free tool, yet it has faced criticism over usability and security vulnerabilities, like storing passwords in plaintext. Concerns regarding bundled adware in installers and reported issues with virus infection have led some users to shift to alternatives like WinSCP. Despite mixed sentiments, FileZilla remains a popular choice, especially in the Linux environment, given its consistent updates and simplistic user interface.

Don't fall into the trap of clicking without reading then you will not end with any sponsor. Download from the All option Download page https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1 instead of being impatient and click on the first link you see. ;)

After 2 years started to use filezilla again. I did stop using it because of the password security. I am now seeing there is master password. And WOW, this is what i was looking for. Non problematic transfers and the (transfer panel) file by file showing, i can see any error easlier

That saddens me greatly. I got caught off guard, I just assumed (given my previous experiences) that it was a normal install process and clicked through it without thinking, and it installed some obnoxious program on my computer. You know it is obnoxious when it magically has an install date of not-today, making it hard to find what got installed because it all happened so quickly.

Well, the user interface is pretty ugly, and the software is far from perfect, but it's the only serious FTP client for Linux. On macOS, I used Transmit and Cyberduck, which I find way better, but on Linux I'm stuck with FileZilla. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

Too broken to really use. Check stackoverflow question number 66916585:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66916585/error-occurred-during-parsing-fail-to-push-limit-google-ads-api

and it keeps happening in the latest version. this renders is useless as it wastes too much time on any admins side.
