Filezilla at a Glance
Filezilla is so easy to download and launch that you might not realize how powerful it is. Just enter a few basic server settings and you’re up and running with a single click. To upload and download files, simply drag and drop them between your Web server and computer. You monitor your actions in the site manager pane, which highlights the status of file uploads and downloads, or bypass the queue with manual transfer. You can also pause or cancel file transfers and even configure transfer speed limits to reduce file transfer errors, making the process of managing your Web site a breeze!Product Details

This download contains malware and should be removed from sourceforge. Even if you uncheck the realplayer crapware you still get the malware. Filezilla used to be a decent FTP program but now the makers are happy to screw up their users machines to get some cash.
-
Excelent piece of software
-
I reported the malware problem to SourceForge 2 weeks ago, but nothing has been done about it.

Best for windows.

Holy cow. Completely unethical and deceptive installer. I will never use FileZilla again, and I am going to actively support and promote alternatives amongst my user-base. While included bloatware that can be opted out of may be a fuzzy area, this Optimizer Pro BS bait and switch crossed a clear line, because: (1) it is completely unclear that it is being installed, and (2) it is blatantly malware that uses classic malware tactics to prevent a clean uninstall.
