FileZilla 3 now on Linux

Filed in archive Utilities on August 31, 2007

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
