It has been intended to be used to move files via FTP or SFTP, for example, for web hosting. I found more practical usages than the company could realize for this software. I like to use it not only to handle FTP transactions but I can really see hidden files on my machines without going to my settings or input a certain key combination. I also want to be able to delete files that I wouldn't be able to delete permanently through Filezilla. On my Mac, I can actually delete the file and then go to the garbage basket, without having to send it to the trash bin. I may really erase it from the local file page of the window from the whole device. The second wonderful thing about Filezilla and the deletion of files is that: I recently was banned from accessing my OneDrive, which lets you to maintain a local cloud file shortcut. I could not even remove the files by being banned. I could truly remove files and directories permanently with Filezilla. This program must be installed on any machine (and I have 3). I also love that the search file on Filezilla is one thousand thousand times faster. > > **Cons**: FileZilla's least able to help in is its data transmission speeds. 2 Mbps is the maximum upload rate. This means that I can receive and upload a dedicated 40Mbps bandwidth connection. Sometimes this is not suitable for massive data transfer, since it takes a lot of time. > > I can now handle projects on both my local PC and the distant server with ease. I'm also capable of maintaining appropriate synchronization between the two platforms. The fast connect bar on the top of the FileZilla program eliminates the trouble of remembering and inputting the password every time. If there is any other job going on at the same time, I may adjust the transfer speed limitations to my satisfaction. This file transfer program is suggested for all users for moving data from one location to another, whether it's your local computer or a remote server. Very handy if your file has been updated and you need to sync it with the cloud or a distant server in real-time. It is quite popular since it is free of charge. ----- ### "For me the best ftp server and it is free" — 4.0/5 > **Jose Manuel** | *March 15, 2022* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is free and it works perfectly. It is quicker than other similar software. > > **Cons**: I think that there is nothing to improve. For the job that I do (upload files) it is perfect. > > I can upload great files quickly and securely ----- ### "Good open source project turned proprietary." — 3.0/5 > **Ali** | *September 30, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: FileZilla was one of the most popular widely used and a pillar of open source projects on Windows, that end up turning proprietary. in the last few years the development of this great Files upload tool turned into the proprietary FileZilla pro while the free open source version is limited to only FTP and SFTP. > > **Cons**: Most the the development, functions and supported protocols are added to the proprietary version FileZilla Pro. > > not bad it worked great when i was using it, right now i switch to other tools like WinSCP. ----- ### "Excellent software for file transfers" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *December 24, 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how simple it is to use\! I just put in the requisite login information and I'm ready to go. > > **Cons**: I wish that the file transfer process was faster. Sometimes, it can hours or even days to download folders containing 500mb-1tb of data. > > Despite the speed issues, I think this is a great piece of software. ----- ### "FileZilla saves the day repeatedly" — 5.0/5 > **Wes** | *November 1, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When I need to share files between computers running different OSes; e.g. Windows and Linux; FileZilla Server works where the alternatives all fail. For example, recently working on a Linux system where we build the kernel , smbclient didn't work due to the non-standard kernel build. The answer was running FileZilla Server on the Windows system; then just enter the Windows system sftp url into the Linux file explorer and I can drag and drop files between the two systems. > > **Cons**: FileZilla is free, so for customer support you must be adept at searching to find some of the best tricks to get the most out of it. > > It's a heaven send, often I wasted time trying to get an SMB windows share connect working before I realized FileZilla could fit the bill nicely. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2048455/filezilla?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2048455/filezilla) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
