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. Using Kerberos, all traffic can be encrypted.

Features:

• Ability to resume Uploads/Downloads (if the server supports it)

• Custom Commands

• Site Manager with folders

• Keep Alive system

• Timeout detection

• Firewall support

• SOCKS4/5 and HTTP1.1 Proxy support

• SSL secured connections

• Upload/Download Queue

• Drag&Drop

• Multi-language support

• GSS authentication and encryption using Kerberos

Requirements:

• Windows 2000, 95, 98, NT or ME

• Up-to-Date MFC and Common Controls version.
  If you get an error message like "A required .DLL file wasn´t found, MFC42.DLL" or "LOADER ERROR: The ordinal 6929 could not be located in the dynamic link library MFC42.DLL" or other startup crashes, you have to update your system DLLs. An update program is available on the FileZilla download page (FzDLLUpdate.exe).

• Kerberos for Windows if you want to use the GSS support.
