Like FileZilla, FireFTP supports FTP, SFTP and FTPS connections. If you run Firefox as your primary Web browser, you can download and install a plug-in called 'FireFTP' that provides the same traditional side-by-side transfer windows as FileZilla. The only thing you may have to get used to is the single-pane, drag-and-drop interface, but those of you with only one mouse button are probably already familiar with that. If you don't mind the 'get a donation key' banner, you'll have a desktop client that supports FTP, SFTP and FTPS, just like FileZilla. If you transfer files from Mac desktops, you may want to consider an OS X client called Cyberduck.

So, yes: it's completely free, and it's the full version. To get your own free copy, download FTP Voyager now.Īlthough FTP Voyager was previously sold for about $50/copy, we decided to re-release it as a free tool in 2012. As a native 64-bit app using the same type of ribbon interface now seen in every Office application, FTP Voyager feels particularly at home on Windows 7 desktops and laptops. However, FTP Voyager also includes a free transfer schedule service and synchronization utilities. SolarWinds' own FTP Voyager handles the same protocols as FileZilla: FTP, FTPS and SFTP. Here are three desktop alternatives that feature modernized interfaces, free transfer schedulers, or free synchronization tools. Yes, FileZilla supports multiple protocols and, yes, it's free, but a few other options have come along since FileZilla first appeared on the scene in 2001. Whether you've been using FileZilla as your main FTP client for a month or five years, there comes a point when you realize it can only do so much-and it's looking a bit long in the tooth.
