CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 08, 2008

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.

    Version: FileZilla 3.3.4.1

    "Easy to use, efficient programme."

    by maralap on September 5, 2010

    Pros: Very straight forward to use, with the normal two wndows, one for your "home" ststem, and one for the internet pages that you are logging into. Everything works with out any fuss whatsoever.

    Cons: You can lose files when you drag and drop them over. I copied some over to the worng file and I can't now find them to delete them.

    Summary: A no frills programme that works simply and easiy.

    "Excellent transfer tool, does the job easy!"

    by crazycritter on August 30, 2010

    Pros: Anyone can use it. It's built by the people for the people.

    Cons: Haven't found any yet!

    Summary: Good for starters and pro's! You don't need to be a rocket scientist to launch your files with this tool. I use Dreamweaver for sites and generally only need the integrated ftp, but sometimes I use this one when not at my machine, which can be downloaded and configured in minutes to do your work. You can then remove it quickly if you don't want to leave it on a foreign machine. Crazy Critter.

    "FileZilla was not close to what I wanted"

    by tomsbrass on August 30, 2010

    Pros: For my use, there was nothing positive about this program.

    Cons: I was using a program that had side by side windows with a simple highlight the files to upload or download and click the directional button. I wasn't able to get this program to work as simple as what I am accustom to.

    Version: FileZilla 3.3.4.1

    "Exactly what I needed."

    by DrakenNuwar on August 19, 2010

    Pros: Fast, smooth, effective, simple to setup and run. Useful features like multiple downloads.

    Cons: UI feels a bit cramped even maximized in 1920x1200 resolution.

    Summary: Got fed up with another ftp client and tried this one. It was exactly what i needed. A reliable FTP for transfer of several large files over a long period of time on a regrettably unreliable connection. It even retries when a file transfer fails.
