• This FTP server is terrible!

  ABrnApril 22, 2013

  Pros

  It logs in.

  Cons

  Can't do much else except log in.

  Summary

  Unbelievably bad. It installs fine. Creating a user account was pretty easy. Giving that user account access to a folder was simple enough. But then getting any other computer to be able to much except log in was not happening. Trying to log in anonymously with Google Chrome would NOT prompt for a password... like it is supposed to, it would just wait and eventually time out. Other FTP servers would make chrome prompt for credentials. Not this one. Furthermore, filezilla server takes about a full minute to log in. Every time. And then it never logs the user into the home folder you specified for their account. It just times out the connection after about 10 or 20 seconds, and nothing happens unless the client begs and begs for it to happen. This server never sends any messages to keep the progress moving forward, it ONLY responds to messages sent by the client. Not all clients except such silence, so they sit there waiting for messages from the server, which never come. Such messages might be related to the home folder, etc. Never happens. So the connection times out after the login is finished. Not a professionally made ftp server.

• Super Fast Downloading my Web Pages

  KomputerKatMarch 13, 2013

  Pros

  I use this to send my updated web pages. Very easy to set up. The best part is that it remains open while I gather up all my corrections (after seeing the download), so I dont have to sign back in every 2 minutes. The boxes are big, many, useful, easy to understand.(I dont have a big web site, so I'm not using up a lot of band width, or whatever it's called, while I'm making quick corrections...eg spacing..photos..). Also, once set up, just click "quick connect."

  Cons

  Newbies might not understand how to fill in the 3 things needed to connect to where they want to send their stuff. Just call YOUR web page techs to get the code --- although my info was ON their "help" pages. Is basically the same info that you use to get into your ISP pages, plus the port, which is often either blank or whatever they provide (ck. the ISP web help pages).== I wish I could set it up so that I dont have to check the box each "day" I am updating the pages (box:"yes this goes for all new downloads").

  Summary

  Thanks for offering this top notch free software to the public. It makes life so much easier. I don't hesitate about updating my web pages because I know it will go fast.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 13, 2013<p/>opps, this review is suppose to be about the basic client Filezilla software, not the Server. I got an email from cnet, and just clicked on it. sorry. I'm trying to contact the administrator to move or delete it. Have used the product for many years, and love it.

• F A N T A S T I C !!

  Nat.A.RayFebruary 17, 2010

  Pros

  Deceptively simple Interface hides a secure, powerful FTP server . . .

  Cons

  Not for the novice, no help file included, however, it is in the beta stage.

  Summary

  This is a sleeper. If you are looking to share files with friends and family from your own server, look no further. Setting it up requires a basic knowledge of routers, firewalls, and Internet Applications. Although it doesn't have a help file, the application's forum does have an extremely knowledge Administrator and Users. Best of all . . . it's F R E E !! Best regards, Nat Ray
