Editing FileZilla (section)

==Reception==
In May 2008, Chris Foresman assessed FTP clients for ''[[Ars Technica]]'', saying of FileZilla: "Some friends in the tech support world often recommend the free and open-source FileZilla, which offers a [[macOS|Mac OS X]] version in addition to Windows and Linux. But I've never been thrilled about its busy interface, which can be daunting for novice users."<ref name="Foresman15May08">{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2008/05/first-look-cyberduck-3-is-a-great-free-ftp-client-for-mac.ars |title=First Look: Cyberduck 3 is a great, free FTP client for Mac |last=Foresman |first=Chris |date=15 May 2008 |publisher=[[Ars Technica]] |access-date=7 January 2012}}</ref>

Writing for ''[[Ars Technica]]'' in August 2008 Emil Protalinski said: "this week's free, third-party application recommendation is FileZilla.... This FTP client is very quick and is regularly updated. It may not have a beautiful GUI, but it certainly is fast and has never let me down."<ref name="Protalinski01Aug08">{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2008/08/friday-evening-microsoft-links-filezilla-edition.ars |title=Friday evening Microsoft links, FileZilla edition |last=Protalinski |first=Emil |date=1 August 2008 |publisher=[[Ars Technica]] |access-date=7 January 2012}}</ref>
