FileZilla
FreeA free, open-source FTP, FTPS and SFTP client for Windows, macOS and Linux with a two-pane file manager.
About FileZilla
FileZilla is a long-established file transfer client that supports FTP, FTP over TLS and SFTP. Its main window shows local files on one side and the remote server on the other, with a transfer queue below, so moving files is a matter of dragging between panes.
The Site Manager stores connection details, and features such as resumable transfers, bandwidth limits and filename filters help with large or repeated uploads. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, which is handy for teams that mix operating systems.
FileZilla suits web publishers, developers and anyone who needs to push files to a hosting account or server. The client is open source and free to use. The project also offers a separate paid Pro edition with extra protocols such as cloud storage services, so check which edition you are downloading.
When installing, read each installer screen and choose the official download from the project site.
Download only from the official project site and watch the installer screens for optional extras. Use SFTP or FTPS rather than plain FTP where the server allows.
