In the transferring of data from one site to another securely it's well suited. I have used it as well while outside the office and it worked great in sending the secure data to our vendor. This has been great as it ensures that we do not have any work stoppage.

I think FileZilla is one of the best ways to transfer very important and secure data between companies. It's very easy to install and to use on a daily basis. Once you save your login information, it can be pulled up very quickly and the data moved from one file to another very fast. Any company that has to move files between another company securely could benefit from FileZilla.

Well suited for when sharing sensitive information and you want to do so securely. The way we are using it (as file management for the entire company) is not at all what I would recommend. I would much rather use Google Drive or something easier to navigate.

It is a wonderful tool for your day to day FTP needs. It's a lightweight tool supporting both secure and non-secure FTP. It lets you connect to multiple FTP locations in different tabs simultaneously. You can save the FTP profiles for easy access later.

I don't think you can schedule downloads using this.

FileZilla is a solid FTP program for beginner users and power users alike. The user interface is simple to understand, and the program offers all of the features that you could need for doing file transfers. Compared to other FTP programs that I have used in the past (Bulletproof FTP and CuteFTP), FileZilla performs well and is easy to use.

FileZilla is extremely easy to use. If you've ever used an FTP client, you will have no issues navigating this layout--it will be familiar to even the most novice users, as it draws inspiration from years of similar design features seen throughout windows applications. When you're working in a secure environment that requires you to transfer sensitive files securely over intranet or internet, FileZilla is an excellent choice, as it's both open-source and supports FTPS over SSL/TLS. As well, it also provides SSH FTP, which I've personally used to transfer files to my own personal Linux server. Filezilla allows you to have an unlimited amount of connections (tabbed) to multiple remote servers. This is useful if you work in an environment that requires the management of lots of servers. If you're a server administrator, FileZilla is an absolute must for your toolbox of utility software. One of my recent favorites is the support of IPV6, since our environment has recently upgraded its infrastructure to IPV6.

If you need to securely access a site to get into the code, FileZilla is needed. If you are familiar with Git, there may be a better option for you, but FileZilla is an easy way to transfer and edit files from local to dev and live environments. If you are accessing sites from public networks (which you should never do) FileZilla can cause an additional security breakpoint since passwords are saved in plaintext.

Great tool to use, very simple and user-friendly. It has no adware or add-ons that slow down your computer. Filezilla helps when downloading all of a site's images and putting them on a thumb drive for a client who needs to print them. It is a very easy way of keeping things organized online and offline.
