One of its most notable features is its capability to pause and resume file transfer processes, even for files larger than 4GB. Users can chose to overwrite existing files based on the age or size of the file. It also allows the preservation of [[Timestamp|timestamps]] on transferred files, provided there is support from the local system when downloading or from the target server when uploading.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How to Preserve Timestamps FileZilla Pro |url=https://filezillapro.com/docs/v3/advanced/preserve-timestamps/ |access-date=2021-11-01 |website=FileZilla Pro |language=en-US}}</ref> FileZilla Client uses a tabbed [[user interface]] for multitasking, allowing users to browse more than one server or transfer files simultaneously between multiple servers.

The software provides directory comparison for comparing local files and server files in the same directory. If there is a difference in the file details, such as a mismatch in name or size, the software will highlight the file in colour. Other features include configurable transfer speed limits, filename filters, a network configuration wizard, remote file editing, [[Keepalive|keep-alive]] command to prevent disconnections when idle, [[HTTP/1.1]], [[SOCKS|SOCKS5]] and FTP-Proxy support, and [[Logging (computing)|logging]] events to a file for [[debugging]].
