Written by Elena Opris on November 15th, 2011
Webmasters always need to have powerful tools at their hands, that will allow them to easily manage their websites. One of them is a FTP client.
FileZilla is a small, open-source FTP client that enables you to have complete control over your websites, from any computer.
So, if you are the lucky owner of a couple of websites but lack the necessary funding to get acquainted with professional tools, FileZilla is what you're looking for. It has been designed for both beginners and more experienced users.
With this program you can save usernames, passwords, connection types, and other details necessary for connecting to a website, thanks to Site Manager.
Because FileZilla doesn't require any installation, you can just store it on an external device, and use it on any computer.
The user-friendly, straightforward interface is based on the Explorer style, so navigating through files and folders is extremely simple.
You can batch download and upload files from and to multiple servers, modify access rights on your server, change firewall or proxy settings, cache directories to increase FTP site browsing speed, quickly connect to the server, set to automatically adjust transfer speeds, change the user interface, and a lot more. In addition, this application supports several languages.
If you find yourself stuck at any point, just look over the help file.
Also, memory resources are minimally used, and that makes FileZilla a reliable FTP client.
In conclusion, FileZilla is one of the best solutions out there when you want a quick, easy, and free way to manage your websites.
