Garbage outdated interface, devs don't care about customers requests

They only care about making money bundling Filezilla with malware (google it up) they never do any meaningful updates. The interface is still an old garbage from the nineties, ZERO dark mode despite millions of requests in the forum. Devs literally don't care about their customers. They bloat the app with useless features like a theme for the icons (WHO CARES) but they can't make a basic feature like a dark mode. If you go to the forums, instead of working on a workaround they bring dumb excuses and put the blame on Microsoft, but there are many other ways to provide a dark mode JUST LIKE TONS OF OTHER SOFTWARES. This is the only app in my entire stack that doesn't have a dark mode BUT OH WAIT they just released an update to "fix issue with toolbar size", phew!!! Priorities!!! Can't believe I paid for this scam

I can't guarantee that I'll ask you to pay again in the future.

I bought a lifetime subscription but it doesn't work after five years. I sent them a letter and they just said they had informed me. If you don't respond, it means you agree to the policy change.Here is their reply~While the license is perpetual, at some point we were forced to change policy with regard to access and abuse of our facility that was possible, yet illegal, under the previous good faith conditions we offered. You have been informed of the change of policy with regard to services and had the option to refuse them. You accepted on 2022-06-03 and were provided with access to upgraded and more feature-rich versions of the application you purchased.The activation of the copy you have is only to access the online services that FileZilla Pro offers on a subscription basis, which obviously includes the access to new versions of the same program, a service you subscribed at no charge on -- as an existing customer -- to and which is expired on 2023-10-02.While we do not recommend installing or using outdated software versions you might have from before accepting the Terms and Conditions—due to known security vulnerabilities addressed in more recent releases FileZilla Pro —if you choose to proceed, please do so at your own risk and liability.

The Filezilla people are not ethical

The Filezilla people are not ethical. They sold me a license assuring me it was a lifetime license. Now they are refusing to give me my license key when my computer died. They are telling me you have to go to older computer and reset it.How can I reset the license from a computer that's dead?The 'lifetime' license is a scam. I have bought other software from companies like Wondershare and Techsmith. They allow me to reset the license or connect license to email id and password.Filezilla's sales promise is false. They are an unethical company. If you pay them, know that they will not respect their promise.

I've been using it for many years. A free program, fast, easy to use, and intuitive. Perfect for less experienced website owners.

Great for FTP veterans

If your knowledge on FTP protocols are extensive, then this is probably the software for you. Free to use. There must be websites out there imitating FileZilla, as I've not come across any malware downloading or installing from the official site as others have stated.
