Description

FileZilla performs file transfer using FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols. The application organizes the server connections using a simple and straightforward interface. It also enables the user to transfer multiple files at the same time between the two networks.

The interface is very plain and clear, and it shows the local and remote directory structures well. It is easy to use as all one has to do is to click and drag files between the two systems. FileZilla supports bookmarks for quick connect to the popular server locations.

Transfer speeds are regulated depending on the network conditions without any interference from the user. All the transfer activities are logged in details by the application. Users can pause and resume file transfers. Some of the features that FileZilla includes are the site manager where connection details are stored.

FileZilla also allows the control of file and folder permissions. This is useful in identifying file differences within directories. Server to server file management is made easy with queues for organizing files.

  • Works right out of the box – no complex setup required
