It is a free solution to one of our most common actions in the office; uploading files to servers.,Site manager for storing login credentials.
Easy drag and drop interface for transferring files.
Multiple connections in different tabs.,I would love a command line interface so I could more easily perform actions on the server. For example, you can upload a compressed folder to the server relatively easily, but there is no easy way to extract it on the server without switching to an SSH client.
Uploading directories with hundreds of files can take a very long time, which is why it's desirable to upload them as zip (or tar) files and extract them on server.,10,FileZilla provides a very inexpensive way for us to do a very common action.
It's a tool that is completely dependable and does exactly what it needs to do every time.

It is very lightweight and easy to use. On top of everything, it's free. One of the best open source software in any category. As an integration consultant, I often come to projects where files present on FTP need to be integrated. This requires a lot of uploading/downloading of files for testing purposes.

It simplifies the task to manage, edit and transfer files on remote systems. This solution especially helps to provide access to files for remote users such as consultants and contractors that don't have internal user accounts.,FileZilla has a very user-friendly interface that allows non-tech savvy employees to use it without any IT department assistance. A few simple screenshots in an email to the end user and all works fine.
Very fast and reliable solution. Transfers all files without any issues.
Drag-n-drop support saves time.
"Quickconnect" - very useful option, especially if you need to connect to FTP server once. For example to upload log files to third-party support services FTP server.
Tree hierarchy for the folders navigation - on practice helps a lot.,Would be very helpful to have site to site transfer option.
Ability to edit files on the FTP server. Sometimes you need to make quick minor changes, so opening them on an FTP server can save some time. However, this is not critical.
Would be awesome to have more functions to interact with the remote server, such as SSH console, etc.
Scheduled file transfers would be very helpful.
On the server side - very often need to have more granular access permissions. I mean it needs to give permissions for specific files but not to the entire folder.,10,For our need the free version of the server and client - the best choice.
Simplicity of usage - increases the performance of our employees.

The program notifies you when there are failed transfers. Makes it easier to avoid missing an upload.,TLS connection issue -- by default when logging via FTP, FileZilla will force a connection with TLS, which is not supported on some servers, including one of ours.
Lacks an in-program text editor -- you have to download files from the server and open them with a local program like Notepad to edit. Then you need to re-upload them.
It seems like there are never-ending updates needed to the free version. I'm not sure these updates are product improvements versus a way to advertise their sponsors.,8,FileZilla does save time when it comes to uploading files via FTP versus the cPanel file manager. The time difference isn't drastic, but it does have an impact.
The existence of a free version of the software is nice -- saves a little money on costs.,,cPanel, Apache Web Server, GoDaddyJustin RoodmanLinux + Open Source + FTP = FileZilla2019-01-23T17:25:05.144ZI use FileZilla to transfer website files onto remote servers.

It's often used by colleagues also.,It's nice to maintain applications and sites up to date since offers very useful features.,It could be better on handling multiple connections at once.

As a freelance developer, I've used FileZilla-- as well as in my full-time job-- in various roles at multiple different organizations. In my current organization, FileZilla is used as the primary FTP client for end-users. It is delivered via SCCM to any end-user who wishes to have an FTP client. FileZilla is lightweight, open-source, and provides all of the security features we need for SSL/TLS encryption when transferring sensitive data--or any data for that matter, to servers.,FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) over SSL/TLS. This is absolutely essential for transferring sensitive data.
It's open-source, and not a proprietary application, which means we can review the source to determine if there are any nefarious functions.
It's extremely lightweight, with a simple interface that allows for quick and easy transferring of data. No mucking around if you're a novice, and lots to be dug into if you're an advanced user. It has everything A-Z.
Cross-Platform support. I've used FileZilla on multiple different operating systems, and it runs super smooth on them all.
Resuming file transfers. If the client crashes, or your internet goes down, you can be reassured you'll be able to resume your transfer next time you launch FileZilla.
Being in a bilingual Country, it's been beneficial to have multi-language support.,The UX/UI is slightly dated. But Since I'm an original user of FileZilla, this is not really a big deal to me personally. Although I would like to see an updated interface at some point, it does not one bit take away from the overall objective of FileZilla.,10,Although I cant give it a dollar value, not having to pay for an FTP Client is absolutely a benefit.
Ensuring that our data is transferred securely and safely is a huge ROI. It would be an absolute disaster if some secure data was intercepted. With FileZilla, this potential monetary and public disaster can be mitigated.,,Bugzilla, Slack, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CC,Managing connections
Transferring files.,8Verified UserThe best file transfer tool2019-02-09T19:41:58.852ZWe used Filezilla as a main file transfer tool between our servers and local computers. It was used mostly by software development team members. We exploited FileZilla a lot because its file listing schema is very user-friendly and easy to use. Besides usability, it allows us to use key pair files to reach our cloud computing storages such as Google cloud and Amazon AWS.,File transfer speed
Directory listing system is a tree and so easy to find your files
It allows using keypair files to access Amazon AWS,Once you delete an item, it is gone forever. There might be a place like a trash folder that requires us to empty it once it reaches a certain size

Since we can use it as an SFTP it resolves our primary concern which is the release of our clients' data securely. As protection of this information is vital to our company and it also allows us to receive information from our vendor as well.,Allow the transfer of more than 8MB of data to and from our vendor
Works very well with the transfer of text and Excel data,A faster connection since we are connecting thru a secure site it takes a little longer than expected to connect.,9,A great impact as we been able to send our data to our testing vendor without any delays of being out of the office.Verified UserFileZilla is a Godzilla.2019-01-25T22:14:13.209ZFileZilla is used for remote file management. We use this as a "shared drive" so remote employees, like myself, have access to files when not in the home office. All of our important documents are stored here across departments. Each employee also has their own private folder to store documents and exclusively share with HR/AP.,Remote file management.
Share sensitive data without password protecting.,The interface is extremely outdated.
An IT person may be able to navigate this seamlessly, but our sales team wants to cry if someone tells us to go find something on FileZilla.,3,As a salesperson, it slows me down when trying to find documents. It could be the way our setup is, but it takes me forever to find things.
Only positive is that we can transfer data securely - no fear of cybersecurity breaches here!,,Gusto, ADP Workforce NowVerified User
