FileZilla is a robust, free, open-source FTP client that provides reliable file transfer capabilities for Windows users. Supporting FTP, FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS), and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), FileZilla offers secure file transfer options for connecting to virtually any server environment.
The intuitive dual-pane interface displays local files on one side and remote server files on the other, making drag-and-drop file transfers simple and efficient. The transfer queue management system allows you to organize, prioritize, and process multiple file transfers systematically, even across different servers.
FileZilla excels at handling large file transfers with resumable downloads and uploads, ensuring that interrupted transfers can continue from where they left off rather than starting over. The speed limits feature allows you to throttle bandwidth usage, preventing FileZilla from consuming all available network resources.
The Site Manager provides a convenient way to store server credentials, bookmarks, and connection settings for frequently accessed servers. The quick connect bar enables rapid connections to new servers without creating saved entries. Directory comparison highlights files that differ between local and remote locations, perfect for website synchronization tasks.
FileZilla supports passive and active transfer modes, proxy configurations, and firewall-friendly operations. The synchronized browsing feature simultaneously navigates matching directory structures. Remote file editing opens files in your preferred editor and automatically uploads changes. With its stability, features, and zero cost, FileZilla remains the go-to FTP client for millions of users.
