Review

0 5 4.4
FileZilla FTP Client is a software application that is very popular among Windows and Linux users. It also supports MacOS, but on MacOS the most popular FTP Client is Cyberduck (which is opensource too and features also a WebDAV client) and only second is FileZilla. The WebDAV client is a feature that is included also by filezilla but not in their free / opensource version but only in their alternate product named FileZilla Pro Client which is not free nor opensource. The Filezilla Client is very reliable for both: connect to FTP and SSH servers. It is free, fast, secure, and has a great user-friendly interface. It has a very low learning curve as well. The built in keep alive system retains a usable link if the source server is busy. Connections can be made despite the presence of firewalls, and proxies can be SSL secured.
The application core is based on LibFileZilla (a C++ library) which is also free and opensource. The LibFileZilla library is offering basic functionalities to build platform-independent, high performance FTP / FTPS / SSL software applications. This library can be used in other opensource software projects.

Pros +
  • the source code is fully auditable by anyone
  • pro-active security, there are a lot of new releases fixing even zero day security issues
  • supports old protocols as well as the newest protocols for FTP / FTPS / SSH
  • easy to use, user-friendly
Cons -
  • the GUI looks not very fancy, it is based on WxWidgets (a cross platform GUI Toolkit)
  • the WebDAV feature is completely missing from this version: free/opensource Filezilla Client
