### 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.

### Most mentioned cons

- The interface looks somewhat old-fashioned compared to newer FTP solutions, and new users might need a few minutes to get used to the layout.

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

Have used Filezilla so many times but this software didn't make me happy with its functionality and features. Logged in for the file access is a nightmare. But yes, it gives a strong file management option that I like.

#### Cons

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 rating: 4/5

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.

### Free cross platform FTP software with drag and drop interface

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

- Functionality: 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.

I mostly like the easiness of using FiliZilla. It has two pans UI. In the left side pan, It shows files from our local system, and in the right pan, It shows files from the connected server.We can simply drag and drop left to right or right to left. It also allows us to save many server credentials which makes life easy to connect to a particular server.

#### Pros

It's an excellent FTP app that has been around for a long time, and it shows through all the features that are available. Updates are frequent, and always appear to improve stability and add new features to stay up to date. It's easy to set up a new connection, and to have lots of different connections open in the tabbed interface.

#### Cons

There are quite a bewildering amount of options available now. It can be cumbersome to right click to view/edit files rather than double click, which downloads the file.

FileZilla is a classic for good reason: it just works. Fast, unencumbered by bells and whistles (I'm looking at you, Dreamweaver!), this is the first FTP client you should reach for.

FileZIlla presents a traditional FTP user interface that most developers will be able to use intuitively. This is a fully-featured, cross-platform FTP client. For free.

#### Cons

The user interface is pretty clunky and outdated at this point.

Lightweight, customizable, stable, standard-adherent, fault tolerant, automated: basically everything you want from an FTP client it's there. Its server counterpart, FileZilla Server is also a neat software.

#### Cons

I'm struggling to find cons to FileZilla, of course it has some bugs but in my many years of real life usage i encountered them maybe once. Maybe a related con is the relative difficulty to obtain it without getting harassed by adware, offers, and so on.

Filezilla is an ftp client, a tool that I use as a website administrator, hosting administrators provide their programs but they are not as good and complex in my opinion as this one, it works very well, I have no problem with it and I have been using it for several years, it is also Linux version

#### Cons

The design is as simple as windows 98;) but it has its charm and on the other hand it's also cool that the program doesn't change visually it's a sign of stability

I am using this tool for the past 7 years. As a developer, I have to deploy my changes into server continusly. Filezilla helps to transfer files into linux server with lighting speed. We can change the linux file mode using this tool. Connecting a server is a simple option. "Quickconnect' option is a great option, where we can connect server with stored server detail. Navigating server directories , Creating new directories options are simply supper. I will recommend this to my firends.

I use FileZilla to keep a list of servers saved for our integrations. For internal use I can usually RDP onto the server to handle file transfer, but for external integrations and partners I prefer to use FileZilla. FileZilla is simple to configure given any credential details which made it a preferred choice when you have many different clients or partners.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

I like the simplicity of FileZilla. It is very simple to add saved connections for quickly connecting/switching between servers. We use linux so the install is straightforward. For most cases, FileZilla is ideal for SFTP and FTP servers.

#### Cons

We've had issues with installing FileZilla on Windows so we stick to Linux. For highly customizable connections, FileZilla may not be capable of facilitating the connection. For example, we have one connection requiring several certs and passwords to connect which we are unable to do via FileZilla and instead have to go through the terminal.
