Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET 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.

"Great, but with a serious catch!"
Version: FileZilla 3.6.0.2
Pros
Fast and easy to use. Displays a readable log of what is going on.
My favorite it the use of multiple tabs. You can keep more than one site open at a time.Cons
BIG Problem. Passwords are NOT encrypted. They are in a simple .xml file (sitemanager.xml). Anyone that breaks into your machine, can also have access your ftp accounts!
Summary
Bitter sweet.
