Honestly, after using it since 2014, there’s very little to dislike. The only thing I’d point out is that the interface feels a bit dated, and customer support could be more responsive. But overall, the tool’s reliability, ease of integration, and feature set easily make up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is the cross-platform compatibility, which allows me to run it on my Windows OS while accessing a Linux OS hosted on a server. It also provides enhanced security when accessing files from the hosting server. Additionally, it enables me to connect to multiple servers simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that, in the older version, passwords were stored in plain text files, making them vulnerable to adware. Additionally, I have experienced frequent disconnections, which is another issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An old interface, the lack of security, no wordpress plugin (like wordpress file manager) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Supports every common protocol – FTP, FTPS and SFTP, so I can hop between legacy hosts and hardened servers without swapping tools.

Cross-platform binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux let me keep the same workflow regardless of the workstation.

Drag-and-drop two-pane UI, Site Manager bookmarks and transfer queue keep large projects organised while still feeling lightweight.

Resumes interrupted uploads and downloads over 4 GB, a lifesaver on shaky hotel Wi-Fi.

Tabbed sessions and directory comparison help me juggle multiple servers and spot out-of-sync folders fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface looks dated; icons and layout haven’t materially changed in a decade, so basic tasks feel clunky next to modern WinSCP or Cyberduck skins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simple to use if you are looking for a traditional SFTP program. It's easy to setup and is secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little difficult for an average user with some of the terminology that is used. I have been building websites for almost 30 years and sometimes find the naming of features both outdated for modern times and also named more like a programmer vs a power user. Overall, it's not a major issue for me given I love the program, but it can slow me down for a few seconds on occasion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used FileZilla for years to upload files to our FTP area. We use this to back up and store projects and to share files between team members. We use FileZilla multiple time a day and have done so for over 10 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past few months, every time I open FileZilla, I receive an error message telling me there has been an Error loading queue. I don't know how to fix this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
