FileZilla
Description
FileZilla is a cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client that runs on Windows, Linux and macOS. You can pause and resume transfers, even for files larger than 4 GB, thanks to its robust transfer engine and safeguards for large transfers.
You get a tabbed interface that helps you manage multiple server connections at the same time. The Site Manager lets you keep track of your server lists, and a transfer queue eases large batch operations. You can drag and drop between windows and use directory comparison features to spot mismatches in file size or timestamps.
It supports IPv6, filename filtering, and a network configuration wizard to handle firewall or proxy setups. You can even log events to a file for debugging and export your transfer queues as XML. This makes your file transport both trackable and adaptable.
Despite some criticism around bundled adware in certain installers, FileZilla remains one of the most popular FTP clients globally, widely recommended across Linux distributions and web hosting providers. You can still obtain versions without adware via alternate download links.
Its large user base and active development make it a staple for both beginners and experienced users needing powerful FTP functionality across platforms.
