Ok, so I was at a customer site and we needed to download some patch updates for a program which required an FTP client. The customer didn't have one installed and I suggested downloading and installing FileZilla. File-what came the reply. Ok, so I realize now that not everyone has heard of it before, so I thought I'd pay homage to FileZilla in today's post.
FileZilla Client is a cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with lots of useful features and a graphical user interface.
(From the FileZilla website) The features of FileZilla include (among others) the following:
* Supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
* Cross-platform. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X and more
* IPv6 support
* Available in many languages
* Supports resume and transfer of large files >4GB
* Powerful Site Manager and transfer queue
* Drag & drop support
* Configurable Speed limits
* Filename filters
* Network configuration wizard
* Remote file editing
* Keep-alive
* HTTP/1.1, SOCKS5 and FTP-Proxy support
So, next time you need a full-featured FTP client, don't forget about FileZilla.
