For the past few versions, great file transfer tool, FileZilla, has been available only on the Windows platform. Whilst there is definitely no shortage of GUI-based file transfer tools on Linux, filezilla is one of the coolest, at least I think it is. :)
Now switchers from Windows to Linux no longer have to look for an alternative app because FileZilla version 3 is now on Linux… and FreeBSD and Mac OS X! Here're some of the features of FileZilla as listed on their website:
- Easy to use
- Multilingual (English, German, French, Japanese, just to name a few)
- Strong encryption support using SFTP over SSH and FTP over SSL/TLS
- Supports transfer resuming and files larger than 4 GiB
- Site Manager
- Queue support
- Proxy support
- Speed limits
- MODE Z transfer compressing
