What is FileZilla?

FileZilla is a fast FTP client with an easy to use interface which is available in different languages. The Site Manager, Drag&Drop and the transfer queue help you to control your tasks. FileZilla can connect to almost every FTP server, even if you are behind a firewall or SOCKS proxy. On SFTP servers and servers which support SSL or Kerberos GSS, all traffic can be encrypted.
