FileZilla Client
FileZilla Client is a free FTP solution for transferring files, with support for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. It is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project provides separate products or sections for FileZilla Pro, FileZilla Server, and RemoteDrive; those should not be mistaken for Client features. Documentation includes installation instructions for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, plus tutorials and usage guidance. The Wiki also covers connection and transfer troubleshooting, network configuration, and key-based authentication with SFTP. Other support resources include a community forum, FAQ, support section, and contact page. The project site links to source code, an issue tracker, translations, nightly builds, and version history. The maker has a dedicated Client features page, but the supplied information does not detail those features or state free-tier limits. FileZilla Pro is a separate product whose listed support includes FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and cloud services such as S3, Google Drive, and OneDrive. No paid price or billing schedule is stated for FileZilla Client.
