Filezilla Client for Mac is, as the name implies, a Filezilla version specifically designed for MacOS. Filezilla is an open-source FTP client, allowing you to upload and download files via the File Transfer Protocol using a graphical interface instead of a command line. Filezilla Client for Mac installs quickly and easily.
As you would expect, Filezilla Client for Mac supports FTP, as well as FTPS and SFTP. It supports a number of languages. The Filezilla Client for Mac interface is not complicated, although at first glance it can appear so. The main area of the interface is split into identical images of file and folder structures for both the local and remote machine. A command window shows what's happening above those two areas, and progress meters take over the rest of the screen. To use Filezilla Client for Mac, log into the remote file server (settings can be saved for fast repeats) and then both local and remote directory structures appear. You can use menu options, pop-up menus, or drag and drop methods to move files back and forth.
We've used Filezilla Client for Mac for years with no issue at all. One of the most solid FTP clients on the market, it also runs exactly the same way on Windows and Linux. You can build complex log-in processes and automate them, as well as manage to upload and download thousands of files with one command. For Mac OS users, Filezilla Client for Mac is the ideal FTP client.

"Very usuful"

Pros
Very usuful
Cons
Very usuful
Summary
Very usuful
-
"Best free FTP tool for power users"
Version: FileZilla Client 3.5.1
Pros
Very comprehensive feature set.
Easy to use, got it working and connected to my web host in 5 min.
Site Manager is a great feature.Cons
It should auto-refresh periodically so file list stays live.
I little harder to use than the GUI-friendly tools, but good for power users. -
"Simple on my mac"
Version: FileZilla Client 3.4.0
Pros
The connection is quick and precise. The files that have to go in are clearly delineated - and it gives you immediate feedback on whether individual files have uploaded or not.
Cons
You have to know what files you are taking from and putting into.
Summary
I like it. It makes ftp transfers from a mac to a windows-based webhost work simply!
-
"Easy-to-use FTP client."
Version: FileZilla Client 3.4.0
Pros
Very straight-forward. Shows progress of transfer. Reliable.
Cons
No major issues. Oriented for a Linux/Unix-savvy user.
-
"Frecking ugly"
Version: FileZilla Client 3.4.0
Pros
Probably fast enough.
Cons
Ugly as sin.
Summary
The description says the interface is "straightforward". That's a nonsense considering how cluttered and polluted the UI is. Utterly poor UI design that needs to go on Hoarders and have everything thrown away while it cries on national TV.
Go look at Cyberduck - it's also open-source, but it isn't vomitously hideous. -
"can't compare to Windows version"
Version: FileZilla Client 3.4.0-beta1
Pros
free, free, free, free,,,,
Cons
not really work for me.....maybe I did something wrong but lost patience after several try
-
"It just works!"
Version: FileZilla Client 3.4.0-beta1
Pros
It just works
Ability to FTP securely
Cross platform
FreeCons
That I can't set up a site profile until I have all the info (unlike Dreamweaver). Too text-heavy for my low-literacy students to use.
-
"Far more user friendly than cyberduck or fetch"
Version: FileZilla Client 3.3.5.1
Pros
Love the dual screen layout with the drag-n-drop interface.
Logical layout of screen with all of the information needed at your fingertips.
Setting up and remembering sites is a breeze and highly customizable.Cons
Tends not to be as fast on uploads as fetch
Summary
All of the information you need is right on the screen. One one side are your local folders and on the other are your remote folders. These are navigable via point-and-click. Below these are the contents of the folders. Fully drag-n-drop to the other side in order to initiate a get/put command. Wonderful.
Setting up sites organizes the options fluidly and sensibly. Easy to do.
For a quick and dirty transfer of a group of files. I use it regularly for moving a limited number of large files. -
"my favorite"

Does everything you need from an FTP software.
It's FREE.

Summary
Strongly recommend it to everyone! very easy to use.
Did I mention it's FREE? -
"Not the most intuitive interface, but it does the job."
