FileZilla is a free software, cross-platform FTP application, consisting of FileZilla Client and FileZilla Server. Visiting the Filezilla forums yields comments from the developers like, 'be glad we even offer a Mac version'. For example, I usually minimize the app using the default Mac OS keyboard shortcut, Command-M, but now this brings up the manual transfer window. The program is available for a range of platforms, providing a familiar experience no matter which operating system you are using, and handy features such as drag and drop support, directory comparison and remote file search are a boon for any web site developer.My complaint is this latest update (3.9.0.1) has changed some functions I've grown used to.
FileZilla's site management feature can be used to save the login details for several FTP servers so there is no need to constantly enter usernames and passwords manually.įileZilla also supports bookmarking to save having to trawl through remote directory listings, as well as the option to limit transfer speed to prevent FTP transfers impacting on other online activities. Rather than using a hosting company's online tool to upload file, turning to a dedicated FTP client not only adds the option to resume transfers - including file over 4GB in size - but also makes it easy to work with multiple sites. By using the FileZilla FTP client you have the ability to resume uploads and downloads that have been manually paused, or have been interrupted for some other reason.Īn FTP client is particularly useful if you have a web site. Broken connections can means having to restart a file transfer from scratch, leading to increased bandwidth usage and wasted time. Uploading and downloading files can be a tricky business, particularly when large files are involved.
