### Most mentioned pros

- Combined with tools like Task Scheduler and Power Automate, I have built a reliable process that uploads multiple inventory and sales files to manufacturers on a daily basis.
- The connection process is fast, and the transfer speed is excellent, which saves a lot of time during website maintenance or file backups.
- It’s a dependable and straightforward FTP client that makes transferring files quick and hassle-free.

- sometime it's difficult to set the access to your website

The UI UX is poor, all functionality is not strong, not comfortable to use and the whole Filezilla looks messy!

#### Reasons for switching to FileZilla

FileZilla wasn't able to fulfil my requirements, so I switched to WinSCP.

### An essential and powerful piece of FTP software for managing website files

Overall, after trying several alternatives I find myself coming back to FIleZilla. I find that it always works. The interface is a bit intimidating but if you can look past that and focus on the file transferring and getting the job done than it's all good! FTP software isn't meant to be pretty anyways, it's about functionality and it does just that.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Filezilla is great! The fact that it's available on all operating systems is fantastic! I've used on Windows and Linux without issues, it functions the same. Feature-wise, the "Quickconnect" feature is incredible, it allows you to quickly connect to previously logged in servers without having to type in any login information! This saves so much time. Furthermore, their is the "Site Manager" which is super useful, allowing you to create a directory of all of your websites and keep the login information for each in one place. If you want to know the status of your file transfers there's a little tab menu at the bottom displaying failed and successful transfers - especially important for when uploading multiple files at once. The program runs smooth, transfers my files as expected, and I've never had any issues trying to connect to any external FTP or SFTP servers - so that's great!

#### Cons

Despite all that FileZilla has to offer it does suffer in a few ways. One being the interface can be a bit overwhelming with the screen being divided into 4 panels consisting of folders, files, and the website files. There needs to be a built-in dark theme! Another thing is I wish a large directory of files from my PC would upload quicker to a given web server - I've encountered this specifically when trying to install CMS platforms directly to the root of the site/server. This isn't very often I need to do this, so it's not a total deal breaker.

#### Reasons for switching to FileZilla

WinScp lacked some of the functionality and stability I required. I also needed an FTP client I could use on any platform, WinScp is strictly for the Windows OS.

I use Filezilla for developing websites as I copy files over to staging areas on the remote site. I find it easy to use for this purpose as it has a drag and drop interface. I can easily see which files I need to copy by ordering them by date and time.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

It is free, but then so are some alternatives e.g. Cyberduck It automatically tells you when there are updates and it is easy to install the latest version I appreciated how it warns you if the destination server is insecure I can view and edit files on the remote site in my favorite editor I liked the drag and drop interface

#### Cons

The first time I installed it, I didn't realize I should have checked a box to prevent bundled offers from being installed. It does warn you and advises you to check the box, but I found it easy to overlook. It took me a while to get rid of the junk software, scan my computer for potential threats and carry on. There was no ability to synchronize folders so changes are automatically copied over.

#### Reasons for choosing FileZilla

I preferred the interface compared to Cyberduck and I know quite a lot of people who use FileZilla who I could potentially turn to if I have a problem.

Filezilla never lets me down. It works everytime! I can connect to the server I need and upload and download what is needed. The settings are setup out of the box, so nothing to really worry about. All the settings you need for different servers are at your fingertips and easily found. Great product.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

Implementing Filezilla is very quick and basic. You can have this FTP client installed within minutes and connect to your needed server in moments. Filezilla has all the settings you need to connect to any server. Fast uploads and downloads work great.

#### Cons

The only negative is how when you first open Filezilla, you have to click File -> Site Manager... It would be nice if the Site Manager just opened when you open Filezilla. Could save a click or two.

#### Reasons for switching to FileZilla

Cyberduck has a tendency to hide the "htaccess" file and that is better on Filezilla.

### Decent File transfer protocol in my routine

My overall expereience with FileZilla is good, it is really a decent FTP tool with mid-tier pricing. Some of the reviewers mention poor customer handling of FileZilla, but the customer support team really helps me in understanding the options. In my perspective, FileZilla is a secure and reliable FTP tool for daily uasge.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

The best thing about FileZilla is it's ease of access, it is highly user-friendly and don't need much technical stuff to use this. I use FileZilla to transfer my official data like client data, product brochures, official circulars with my team. The user interface is simple and solid. It is good for small group to share files among them.

#### Cons

FileZilla is good for small groups of around 50 to 100 members, but if you want to share with the group of large members it takes lot of time. I expereinced frequent connection disruptions while sharing the file with many members. Sometimes downloading the files from server also takes more time.

#### Reasons for switching to FileZilla

I used WinSCP free version for my official use earlier, and the organization makes the move to switch from it.

### Easy way to move files to and from the server

I have used Filezilla for more than 10 years now, and have no need to switch. The user information has been easy to move from one computer to another when changing hardware, and not one single time have I had any issues. For a while I was thinking that SCP connections are not supported, but apparently they can be used as well (some servers demand those). Good software.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The user interface is great. It features both the folder structure and contents of a chosen folder on the computer, and also the folder structures and contents of a chosen folder on the server. This makes it easy to drag and drop files and directories, unlike some other software that show only one side at a time.

#### Cons

It has a large amount of more complex options which make the menus a bit cluttered and sometimes some less-used features are difficult to find. At some point I read reviews online that Filezilla comes with some bloatware installed that the user cannot remove when installing, but I have not noticed such. You can always opt out from installing any additional junk when installing Filezilla.

#### Reasons for switching to FileZilla

Filezilla's user interface is just so much better in my opinion.

I've been using Filezilla for many years and it always does exactly what it says on the tin. I'm not a power user and it has a lot of options I don't need, but I've run a bunch of websites with it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Filezilla is easy to use and has an interface where you can see exactly what you're doing at a glance. Strengths include the drag and drop functionality, and the ability to queue entire websites which make it really helpful. Being able to edit files as if you're editing them on the server is especially handy. Filezilla is regularly updated, which gives me peace of mind security-wise.

#### Cons

I can't really think of any cons. Filezilla help could be a little better integrated when dealing with more intricate tasks but I'm saying this as a user who doesn't have much complex ftp knowledge.

#### Reasons for choosing FileZilla

Filezilla just has such a great track record.

It has been a very easy to use system. The learning curve is very low, and the system almost always works flawlessly. Once in a while there is a connectivity slow-down, but I would blame the server or the ISP rather than FileZilla, but I cannot pinpoint it exactly and it is a very minor inconvenience when it occurs.

#### Pros

FileZilla is an extremely efficient system used to connect your local computer to a server, easily, quickly and securely.

#### Cons

I've been using it for over a decade, and it works great. In today's modern AI world, I would like to see FileZilla automatically upload files that I am working on throughout the day, but doing it manually is fine.

#### Reasons for choosing FileZilla

I tried CuteFTP years ago, but was not impressed with it and found it unreliable. For over a decade I have trusted FileZilla for all of our company file transfer needs.

### The best free FTP solution you'll ever need

I've been using FileZilla for probably over 10 years and didn't even think about looking for something else because it gets the job done and it gets the job done beautifully. It's constantly being updated, yet I've never experienced any bugs. I see new features being developed like integration with Storj, so it keeps with the new modern times. The FileZilla Pro also has options for amazon S3, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. So it really offers a lot, and if you have a few extra bucks to throw in for the Pro version, it's really worth it!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

FileZilla has everything you need to transfer files through FTP to your site hosting or server. It is easy to use and intuitive. The development adds new features. I just saw that it integrates with STORJ - the decentralized storage platform based on the cryptocurrency. How cool is that? It has all the advanced options you need, without making it confusing. The basic settings will work for 90% of use-cases when transferring files to your host. And you also have those advanced options for specific use cases. So everything you need for FTP, you can find in FileZilla.

#### Cons

The design of the software and website could be improved to make it look more modern. I'm afraid many people not giving it a chance because of other "shiny" tools that can't do 10% of what FileZilla can do. Some options are tucked away, hidden, which makes it hard for me to find them. I understand this is also a positive because you don't want to confuse new users with unnecessary options being presented.

#### Reasons for switching to FileZilla

I used Total Commander before, like 15 years ago when it was popular, but FileZilla has an easier structure and less confusing "commands". Yet, the blue color of Total Commander is somewhat nostalgic.

My least favorite aspect of Filezilla is the browser window for the files. The folders do not expand and must be entered completely changing the directory displayed in the window. It's a minor annoyance, but still noticeable.

I'm using FileZilla to exchange files with remote machines. These are often multiple files (up to 50) containing several GB of data (up to 200 GB all). FileZilla is handling that great and also provides possibility to pause the transfer queue. It's very useful as I sometimes need to move my laptop outside of network and this doesn't disrupt whole file transfer. Even if I forget to pause the queue, than FileZilla is capable of resuming transfer of the files (though it require some manual selection of which files should be replaced or not). In general this is the best software for file exchange and I can only highly recommend that.

#### Ratings breakdown
