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.
It's always the same and it always works
Setup files include BUNDLEWARE, windows defender detecting unwanted program. (Detected: PUA:Win32/FusionCore)
download the zip file (no installer) or get the portableapps version, to avoid the spyware the installer uses
Also to not save passwords to a plain text file you have to use the option "use master password", this will then encrypt your passwords. Otherwise you will need put filezilla inside an encrypted file using truecrypt and only mount it when you need to use it and make sure all the files (the ones that get stored as plain text) remain in there also. Then when you close the encrypted file, its all secure. Those are your 2 options to keep the passwords safe.

In addition to my big long novel, the thread cited for bundleware shows that FileZilla probably deserves a more alarming tag, like malware, which I assume is a tag that exists. As discussed in that long comment, I'm skeptical of most of the meaningful statements made in that thread (on both sides of the argument), but it seems unlikely that FileZilla's accusers were entirely wrong/lying (they might have an ulterior motive for their accusations, and there might have been fewer people than accounts, but neither their motives nor possible subterfuge affect their claims, just my inclination to take it all on faith). Should another tag be added?
