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.

"Easy summary: it works"
Version: FileZilla 3.5.3
Pros
I use Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 for most of my web stuff, but occasionally it will not connect like it is supposed to, so I use Filezilla. Like other reviewers, I use it only occasionally, but when I do need it, I'm glad it is there and easy to use.
Cons
none, really.
Summary
Works like it is supposed to. Easy to use interface. I used to use CUTEFTP but it will not work with Windows 7. This program does work with 7.
