Using the File Transfer Protocol, an FTP client transfers files to and from a server. An FTP client usually has a graphical user interface with buttons and menus to help you transfer files. However, some FTP clients are text-based and run from a command line or shell session.

FileZilla is a popular free FTP client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The program is easy to use and understand, and it uses tabs for simultaneous server connections.

Filezilla includes a live log of your connection to a server and displays your local files in a section next to the remote files on the server. This simplifies transfers to and from the server and shows the status of each action.

FileZilla Client supports bookmarking FTP servers for easy access later. You can resume and transfer large files of 4GB and above, and it supports easy drag-and-drop functionality. It also allows you to search the FTP server.
