I'm interested in finding a replacement for FileZilla that works on Linux as well, ideally with data import (having tens of connections saved).
- rob74 3y agoOn Linux you should be safe if you install FileZilla using your package manager, I have always done it this way and actually today is the first time I'm hearing of this adware issue...
- p4bl0 3y agoOn Linux the main file managers (Dolphin, Nautilus) can be used as very good (s)ftp clients, on par with FileZilla. No need for additional software.
- TonyTrapp 3y agoWindows Explorer is also "good enough" in many cases if all you want to do is quickly download or upload a few files.
- funnybeam 3y agoFTP support was removed from Explorer years ago I thought?
- duffyjp 3y agoEven web browsers can’t do FTP anymore which is crazy.
- frankjr 3y agoWhy? The support was always read-only, you still needed an external client. And if replaced with HTTP(s), you get something that's stateless, uses common port numbers, requires no special treatment from firewalls, can use standard HTTP headers (encoding, caching...)...
- TonyTrapp 3y agoNo. It was removed from pretty much all modern web browsers. But not from the Windows file explorer. Maybe not even from Internet Explorer, since that uses pretty much the same technology under the hood as Windows Explorer.
- everforward 3y agoThe CLI clients are quite good. I typically just use the sftp binary or rsync, or lftp if I'm doing actual FTP connections. They're available on Windows via WSL, or probably natively on Mac (I assume Homebrew has them if not).
