CNET Editors' review
Rich in Web content, short on cash? This free, open-source FTP application is handy if you're looking for a solid tool to handle FTP transfers and don't want to part with your bucks.
The straightforward interface offers translations in most of the world's major languages. Caching directories speeds up browsing FTP sites, and multiple secure connection options ensure that you can move files around without concern. Bookmarking comes in two flavors: the Site Manager for all your major FTP locations, and QuickConnect for fast switching on the fly.
The program lets you download or upload multiple files at once from and to several servers. If your bandwidth is somewhat limited, you'll appreciate a feature that lets you automatically adjust transfer speeds based on the time of day or date. FileZilla also lets you browse FTP sites mid-transfer. The lack of a task scheduler is compensated for, in our eyes, by a powerful filter so you only see the files you need.
FileZilla is no monster, either, eating up a manageable 50 MB in memory. Clearly, this is one of the best FTP tools around.

"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.
