FileZilla Portable for Windows

User Reviews

• Insecure, do no use portable app

  Narfe6/11/2014

  Pros

  FileZilla is a great piece of software, but the portable version is not made by them and is insecure.

  Cons

  This portable version stores all ftp account passwords in a plaintext xml file.

• Great FTP program

  DexterHaven-CK7/16/2013

  Pros

  Easy set up. Installed on thumb drive, ran it, and was downloading in less than two minutes. Super easy to use. The caveat is you have to have a basic understanding of FTP. Really basic. There is also help. And if you really don't have a clue as to what you are doing, try using a search engine and read about using FTP.

  Cons

  I have not found any yet.

• Favorite of all FTP proggy's

  DaDreamWizard6/29/2013

  Pros

  Does what it should fairly easily. Being familiar with the way ftp programs work is always a plus, and there's no choice but to learn. But it's simple to use. As functional as the one's that cost dollars and it just seems cleaner, less cluttered.

  Cons

  none really - first time I ever installed was up and running and retrieving within 5 minutes. No Fumbels McGee menu's or confusion.

  Summary

  Had 75% of the ftp programs over the years. And I just took a liking to this and it didn't cost a dime. Oh there's ftp programs that have that super compact look - nice yes. But they're involved, I'd even go to say confusing at times. Bottom line, it works nicely to say the least. And if your new to this, if I were you I'd go with this. If this were the first ftp app I'd ever had I'd have avoided way to many love/hate relationships with other software.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jun 29, 2013<p/>note: I just changed over to using portable versions when feasible. Hence this review goes for both the installer version and portable versions.

• The Best Choice For Windows 8

  Mike9812/30/2012

  Pros

  Easy to install. No problem(s) and no error(s). Works excellent. I was sceptical about FileZilla Portable, because I used FileZilla with often connection broken and program hanging when I was uploading files to the server with Windows XP. FileZilla remembers which folder you were using when uploading last.

  Cons

  There are no cons.

  Summary

  FileZilla Portable is very clean and I think the writer omitted the flwas of FileZilla in FileZilla Portable.

• The best I have seen.

  jbalboa1/3/2012

  Pros

  It's better than "IPswitch's WS_FTP Pro." You can drag and drop within the host server. It's very robus. It's PORTABLE, so you can run it from a USB flash drive in any PC. And best of all . . . IT'S FREE.

  Cons

  None . . . It's perfect.

  Summary

  I have used the professional stuff and let me tell you, this FileZilla does a better job and it's free.

• Filezilla does everything I need

  BGreenTruck12/4/2011

  Pros

  Simple and effective... and our favorate..FREE!!!

  Cons

  You have to learn to use it.. not a big deal though most hosts will walk you through it. Godaddy.com walked me through the process. I had a site for a year. And plan to make a new one soon

  Summary

  This program is awesome, it did everything I wanted it to do. I just had to write my page and create/gather my pictures. I am computer illerate and still was able to make a site... If I can do it anybody can.

• Pffffftt!!!!

  skeptic1st4/10/2011

  Pros

  It's easy to install.

  Cons

  Another empty hole with no direction signs.

  Summary

  You'd think by now that somebody would have figured out how to communicate simple things to normal minds, but this software proves that's still an illusion. What's so hard about having labels like "move/copy from" and "move/copy to?" Oh, nooooooooooooooooooo! That would never do! Let 'em figure it out--it's free, f*** 'em! I have not been impressed with any of the products from this company. They are drastically over-rated and over-hyped. This is a pure dog.
