Is FileZilla Safe 2020?

Yes, I have used it for 5+ years. There has been no security failure attributable for Filezilla. It's frequently updated ! Always keep updating your version from time to time and you will be just fine

Answered: Haresh Kodnani (MBA Admission Gurus Central) on December 15, 2022

FileZilla is open‑source and widely used for FTP/SFTP/FTPS transfers There were no known backdoors or malicious code in the official FileZilla client It supported secure encrypted protocols like SFTP and FTPS, which are safe when properly configured
