About FileZilla
FileZilla is a cross-platform file transfer client supporting FTP, FTP over TLS and SFTP, with a two-pane local-and-remote interface, a site manager for saved connections, drag and drop transfers and a transfer queue. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and there is a separate FileZilla Server for Windows.
