    "Great tool and it's free"

    November 19, 2012  |   By HarryC59

    Version: FileZilla 3.5.3

    Pros

    Free
    Fairly easy to use

    Cons

    So far none

    Summary

    I took a class to develop websites about 12 years ago. I really enjoyed it and created my own. After about 2 years I got busy with other things and forgot about it. I decided to go back to it and start redesigning it. I found this on google and decided to try it. It was easy to download and install. The only reason I said it's fairly easy to use is I had forgotten how to set up the FTP client so I had to google some tutorials. So it's not an issue with FileZilla, it's more that if you're a novice you may have to do a little research to get it going. I've only done a few files but have had no issues with it.

    "Fast, free and perfect"

    July 19, 2012  |   By rpmendez

    Version: FileZilla 3.5.3

    Pros

    Works perfect
    Flexible options
    FREE

    Cons

    None I cna find

    Summary

    I have been using Filezilla for almost 5 years now and have found it to be a wonderful program and best of all: free. Using the reconnect button always pops me into my website for easy windows-like file transfer. Never had a connect issue (unless my caps-lock was on) or any other. There is an option to swap local and remote windows in case you're like me and feel they are backwards by default.

    "Does the job for me."

    March 15, 2012  |   By LenoreCollins

    Version: FileZilla 3.5.3

    Pros

    I maintain three web sites, will soon add a fourth and possibly a fifth. FZ has done the job for me from Day One -- simple (I'm experienced but not an expert), intuitive (although getting through the first upload took a little fumbling, but no prob after that), easily updated, not a resource hog, free -- what's not to like?

    Cons

    Nothing I've found.

    Summary

    I have FZ installed on three computers and recommend it to friends and family who need FTP software.

    "Can't find file folders in Documents or sub folders."

    March 4, 2012  |   By Nonamouse

    Version: FileZilla 3.5.3

    Pros

    Easy to sign on with. That's it because the Cons outweigh any other advantage

    Cons

    As the title says you cannot locate some folders in your computer's My Document, these just don't show up in Filezilla. You go to a folder that does appear. After opening this folder to locate another folder contained within and some of the folders low and behold don't exist. Either way if you can't get to a file in the "invisible" folders the FTP program is useless.

    Makes the program worthless. Is it worth my time to go through documentation to find out why this occurs? No. If the above glitch occurs because I have a file open in that folder, then the program is still useless.

    I would give a half star if I could.

    Summary

    Don't waste your time downloading. Some My document folders (and sub-folders which the folders that do appear)are just not there.
