"Cross-Platform FTP Made Easy with FileZilla"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FileZilla?

Cross-platform support helps me a lot. No problem whether I’m using Windows or iOS—it works the same on both, which makes my work easier. Instead of using two FTP tools, I use FileZilla, and it gives me the best working results.

The drag-and-drop option makes things simple. Rather than logging in again and again to Plesk just to upload my files, I can upload them through FileZilla in a much easier way. Features like drag and drop, Quick Connect, and multiple filters make my work smoother.

From what I’ve seen while using it, it saves my FTP credentials, and it never feels like my data is compromised. Every time, I can trust this platform. Connecting with other software is also very easy, and it supports all types of servers. Overall, it saves me time and keeps my workflow smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileZilla?

Sometimes I feel the UI is a bit complex and outdated, and in the case of large files it lags and becomes very slow. If a user is new, they might find it difficult because, compared to other FTP tools like WinSCP, this panel is not as clear or easy to understand.

Sometimes multiple pages open, which usually becomes confusing. It should be simpler. Also, in the middle of a transfer the connection sometimes disconnects, and then I have to connect again. Uploading and downloading speeds also feel very slow. Another problem a new user can face is not being able to differentiate what is for the client and what is for the server admin; this should be made clearer to avoid unwanted downloads.

What problems is FileZilla solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit is that I don’t have to log in to my admin hosting in the browser again and again. I can simply create an FTP connection and transfer files from local to server. Previously, I had to upload projects manually by logging into my Plesk area, which takes time, but FTP makes it much easier. It’s also easy to check which files are old and which are new, and it helps me compare local and online files without extra effort. Multiple FTP connections work well with FileZilla. Moreover, during file transfer it shows the status, which helps me clarify that my file has uploaded successfully. Overall, it’s one of the best FTP tools I’ve used.
