Considered Both Products
FileZilla
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
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 …
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 …
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 …
Chose FileZilla
I have used products like CuteFTP and found them clunky and not as easy to use.
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 …
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.
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, …
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.
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, …
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.
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 …
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.
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 …
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. …
Chose FileZilla
I have not tried any other files similar to FileZilla.
Chose FileZilla
We used WS_FTP; it's too limited. FileZilla has a lot more functions.
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 …
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. …
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, …
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 …
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 …

I use FileZilla to securely upload files that are not permitted to be sent via insecure methods like email or web forms. FileZilla is great to test the ability to "reach" the remote SFTP server and to verify my files arrived. Once I have tested that, then our internal IT group automates the uploads to these third parties, however I can always manually log into FIleZilla to verify the uploads.

Pros
  • Easy to use - Some FTP servers bury their functionality in window after window of settings. Not FileZilla. You can get up and running in a few seconds.
  • Drag and drop - FileZilla allows easy uploading and downloading via drag-and-drop.
  • Edit in place - FileZilla allows users to edit a text file (or HTML, etc) in place and automatically upload the changes upon save. This is a great feature for making quick edits to a website!

Cons
  • The editing and viewing feature in FileZilla is not as user-friendly as some other applications. Editing sometimes requires downloading a file and editing it, and then re-applying the file.
  • Placing and saving encryption keys can sometimes be difficult for non-expert users. FileZilla-driven prompts to assist in this would be helpful.
  • The cluttered interface sometimes seems non-navigable. There are many times too many windows and unclear where the actual "action" is occurring.

Usability
FileZilla is really easy to understand and makes it easy to log into servers to upload files. Moving files around is a breeze (even if it's a little tedious to wait for large quantities to move one by one) and editing html and css files directly is a feature it would be difficult for us to live without

I've always found the setup of FileZilla to be easy to use and setting up new sites has been quick. In working with FileZilla, I haven't had any issues. I rate it high because it's easy, quick, and free. I think anyone that is familiar with File Explorer can use 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 payment processor and asked for our money to be refunded. That process generates several emails from the FileZilla organization asking that we reconsider as well as changing our rating of their services. We did do that AFTER they gave us the correct credentials to be able to download the product. However, when we did everything we were supposed to do to get registered with the User Community, we got several error messages stating that the purchase was not recognized as being valid and they had no record that we made a purchase thus deny entry into their User Community. We are at the current opinion that it is no longer the same organization it was years ago like they really don't care about the product. We've also been having, from time to time, transfer errors popping up within the Free product for which you have very old reviews.
