Filezilla is a great FTP program, it allows us to send secure information and data from our business to our vendor and vice versa. 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.

I am the only one using FileZilla as far as I know right now. I use it to help securely send files to another company's server. I use it just about every day and it's been so simple and easy to use. I looked at other types of file transfer but found that FileZilla was the fastest and easiest to use.

FileZilla 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.

FileZilla is used across my organization. We love the feature of saving the credentials for multiple sites that we access frequently and don't have to type it the credentials every time. It's suitable for both small and big downloads. It supports both FTP and SFTP which is an added advantage as well.

I personally use FileZilla for uploading files to and downloading files from our web server via FTP. FileZilla lets me queue up multiple files for upload/download and it is generally faster than logging into the server cPanel and using the file manager. FileZilla also provides a site manager which allows me to save credentials for multiple sites.

FileZilla has been my go-to FTP/FTPS client (and server when needed) for roughly 15 years. 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.

I use FileZilla to transfer website files onto remote servers. Many hosting solutions provide file management solutions, but often they are limited in functionality, not to mention proprietary, where FileZilla remains Open Source and in my opinion, a better file transfer solution than others I have used. One example is that Linux, the OS I use, works perfectly and simply with FileZilla. If you seek a user-friendly FTP solution, this is a great one to start and stick with.

I use FileZilla almost daily. It is my primary FTP client for all web development and remote file management needs with nearly 300 sites/servers saved for immediate access. It is fast, effective, and an industry standard, making it easy to recommend to others knowing support is abundantly available for them if they were to need it.

FileZilla is being used by the Marketing and Information Technology departments. It is used by one person in Marketing, and many in IT. We use it as an easy (and free) way to access all of our websites and Intranet securely and quickly. This tool is necessary for us to accomplish on server development since many in the organization are not trained on Git.
