If you a web designer or developer you must know the importance FTP but this FTP is fading away for most of the people. As a web developer I have used so many FTP clients but none of them was as good as FileZilla. FileZilla is still one of the best FTP client because of its easier interface and usability.
FileZilla is an open-source free FTP client available in almost every platform and bundled with lots of features.
Getting Started With FileZilla
FileZilla is pretty easy to use to once you installed the software it would be pretty easy for you to send or receive files from it you can download the installer from http://filezilla-project.org
Run the application and click on the site manages a window will appear in the screen ask for your FTP information and this site manager will save your FTP login information so you don’t have to provide it again and again so you can easily connect it later.
FileZilla also comes in portable version you can keep the portable version with you on a flash drive, or use on a regular PC without spreading out the app data files. The portable version works just as well as the regular version and is also free.
