"FileZilla is the best free FTP there is"
What do you like best about FileZilla?

I use Filezilla to maintain my small professional portfolio site. It find it easy to update content and upload new files. It is easy to browse, easy to sign up. I have not needed to use the customer support so I am not sure if it is good. It was easy to sign up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileZilla?

I wish there was a way to get FileZilla to monitor certain folders and always update the server to match my local drive. This would save me manually uploading all of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Reliable FTP"
What do you like best about FileZilla?

A best file transfer protocol that you can find. A detailed view of transactions we can find when we use data transfer between the network and local repo like queues, what files are in progress and what files are completed. This gives the better history of files transferred Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileZilla?

Editing of files on server is a tough work.Managing file and folder permissions could be handled better here. Though all the detailed view is listed down in app, the interface could be simple enough and not much complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Remote download from cloud or machine done easy"
What do you like best about FileZilla?

The transfer speed and flexibility in downloading a file is very easy and fast. We need to provide IP address and password and that's all. If there is internet issue and your files are stopped from being downloaded we can easily resume it later. Unlink browser where your downloads needs to restarted.

What do you dislike about FileZilla?

Initial connection to the server takes more time. UI is very outdated. Some one needs to knowledge transfer you or else it is kind of difficult to understand. Sometimes network gets time out and needs to be reconnected again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust, but outdated.."
What do you like best about FileZilla?

It is a very good tool to access FTP servers. It is lightweight and gets the job done. File transfers are quick, and the program is full of features and options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileZilla?

It looks very outdated, and it isn't very well integrated into Windows. I would like integration with Windows File Explorer or at least a user-friendly way of grabbing files from your computer and uploading them to your FTP server (or vice versa). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is there any way to copy paste in remote server, other than drag and drop within file?
