Considered Both Products	FileZilla Joe Polimeni Integrations Analyst III in Information Technology at Aqua America (Utilities, 1001-5000 employees) Chose FileZilla I use WinSCP in conjunction with FileZilla as it offers better logs and you are able to authenticate with key and password authentication. This too is another nice product, but FileZilla is a lot nicer to navigate and understand like setting up new sessions Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Montgomery CTO in Manufacturing at Animal Necessity (Veterinary, 11-50 employees) Chose FileZilla We've been using FileZilla for so long that we've really never had to try any other FTP software. We did for a bit use Cyberduck FTP on some Mac devices. Cyberduck worked fine, but we always revert to using FileZilla where we can because it is the industry standard of file … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla Both perform the job they are expected to do, and they are easy to use. The FileZilla software is a desktop-based app, so I can only access it on the device on which it was installed. Cisco Secure Email allows you to send emails as you would normally, but the email and … Incentivized Helpful? Derek Beutler Attorney in Legal at Beutler Law P.C. (Law Practice, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla It really comes down to ease of use and cost. FileZilla blows away the competition in both categories Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla We've used mostly either command-line FTP programs built-in to the operating systems, or we've used web-based file transfer sites. Some of these web-based sites might require Java or other specific browser addons, which sometimes are not safe and/or can be hacked, so it's much … Incentivized Helpful? David Ferrier Human Resource Information System Manager in Human Resources at eMoney Advisor (Financial Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose FileZilla I have used products like CuteFTP and found them clunky and not as easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Robert Worth President in Corporate at RMWJR Technology (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla Well, we sent an email to the organization 10 days ago and have yet to receive a response. The email had to be sent because their systems do not recognize the purchase yet when we made it we found the information they were using was false. Thus, we file a complaint with our … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla We did not evaluate any other alternatives to FileZilla, as the FileZilla program offered everything that we needed without a cost involved, and was the recommended FTP software solution by our web host and developer. Incentivized Helpful? Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer in Engineering at Bluefire Productions (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla I've tried so many FTP clients over the years I've lost count. WinSCP, FireFTP, CuteFTP, SmartFTP, Cyberduck, WS_FTP, and countless others. They all offer pretty competitive features. I do find WinSCP to have some extra features that I like, such as better SSH and SFTP support, … Incentivized Helpful? Edgar Romero Director of Sales in Sales at Robocrea (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose FileZilla Other products that we had evaluated are more complex to install, configure, and use. Filezilla is pretty simple to use and configuration parameters are pretty clear to capture--no room for error. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla Tools such as WinSCP, FireFTP, and Total commander have features that are similar to what FileZilla offers. WinSCP is similar in features to FileZilla for accessing FTP and SFTP hosts. Lately, WinSCP seems less stable with FTP connections. Total commander is another good tool, … Incentivized Helpful? Justin McClelland Real Estate Tax Analyst/Software Developer in Marketing at Schwaps (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla Cyberduck isn't as intuitive as FileZilla thus I tend to go with what's the most simple and effective. I also chose FileZilla due to how reliable it is and the fact that it rarely crashes if ever. Incentivized Helpful? Keisha Chavers CS Tech in Information Technology at CTIS (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla I've used Dreamweaver's FTP services. It allows you to lock and unlock files in a team environment. You can see who currently is updating a file on a site. I've also used Team Foundation Studios that provided the same feature. Comparing the locale and remote site is more … Incentivized Helpful? Robert Gephart Partner in Finance and Accounting at Cantlon Financial Planning, LLC (Financial Services, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla I have been using FileZilla for over 15 years. I don't remember the other programs that I used to use, but I will tell you that when I found FileZilla, I realized that I didn't need to look any farther. The developer continues to update the program to keep it functioning well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla The only alternatives we use are Git and the built-in SFTP client inside Dreamweaver. Both have different use cases and help us accomplish different tasks. FileZilla is great for migrating an entire server or website and transferring files between two locations when you are not … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla FileZilla works in the same way, but this allows for greater security if your company is concerned at all with the Google platform. FileZilla actually makes you open a connection on a server and upload and then closes that connection. Dropbox is like Google - it's always open. D… Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla I have not tried any other files similar to FileZilla. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla We used WS_FTP; it's too limited. FileZilla has a lot more functions. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Oros IT Analyst in Information Technology at Duquesne Light Co. (Utilities, 1001-5000 employees) Chose FileZilla WinSCP is not listed, but that is the main alternative to FileZilla at my company. Both are similar in functionality and capabilities. FileZilla is more user-friendly, although WinSCP is more advanced user-friendly. FileZilla is easy to use when exchanging files between … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose FileZilla We also use GoAnywhere for FTP from our IBMi platform and we also host an instance of GoAnywhere on Windows. We use SFTP in both of these instances, so a server platform that can handle that protocol is a requirement. Unfortunately, Filezilla can't be used in this instance. … Incentivized Helpful? Nicholas De Salvo Chief Executive Officer in Marketing at Edge One Media (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla Previously, I've tried Fetch, WinSCP, CyberDuck, Transmit and countless others. The reason I like Filezilla is because it's cheap (free), it's available on many platforms, and site manager makes it easy to transfer credentials between installations. Overall, it's an easy, … Incentivized Helpful? Valery Mezentsau IT Department Manager in Information Technology at Acceptance Solutions Group (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose FileZilla In my past experience, I used other FTP solutions like CuteFTP, FireFTP, WinSCP, and others. They all are pretty much the same, however, FileZilla is the one that is stable; gives you what you need and does not overload the system. FileZilla has a server part which makes this … Incentivized Helpful? Atilla Vekony Vice President in Marketing at Wheatmark, Inc. (Publishing, 1-10 employees) Chose FileZilla This is the only FTP client that I've used in the last 5 years. Incentivized Helpful? Eric Thorsteinson Senior Quality Review Specialist in Quality Assurance at Agent Pipeline, Inc. (Insurance, 51-200 employees) Chose FileZilla FileZilla is very user-friendly and very easy to transfer files securely and safely. It's much easier to get started than some of the others and easier to use every day. It's a safe and effective way to move data between companies or clients. I think it goes a little further … Incentivized Helpful?
