New FileZilla

Published on 14^th October 2007 Estimated Reading Time: 1 minute

First, I must admit that the release of FileZilla 3 passed me by until recently. From the user interface point of view, the changes don't look too radical, but it is now cross-platform, a bonus for Linux and Mac users. It can also co-exist with FileZilla 2 for those Windows users needing features from that offering that aren't yet available in FileZilla 3. That does pose the question: why upgrade when that which you have works just as well? It is just as well that transferring settings is as easy as importing the FileZilla 2 settings into its successor is as easy as importing an XML file: in version 3, go to Edit > Import... on the menus and pick up the FileZilla.xml file from the installation directory for version 2. Though you might get some warnings and I certainly did, the FTP sites that I had set up already came over intact.
