Perhaps the ugliest but most amazing FTP app out there. - Version: 3.2.5-rc1, 6/10/2009 03:07AM PST

Filezilla's only problem is that it's interface is ugly, poor and sometimes quite difficult. Perhaps to win95-like. Yet, under that interface there is an application that is rock solid and very feature rich, for free!
If you can live with the ugly interface, then Filezilla is the tool you should use when doing FTP, SFTP or whatever file transfer option you're doing. It's fast, reliable and works great with batches of processes and arcane settings.
As an example it's the only tool I found that can batch process file permissions on subfolders and files separately or not, a life saver for me when a few thousands folders had their permissions corrupted in my server...
So, though it's ugly, it's free, it can do everything any other FTP apps can (an then some more) and it's stable like a rock.

I have used Transmit, and other FTP programs on my Mac but for free this is simple and does what you want it to. It works on multiple platform so for Windows user converting to Mac it is the same interface which makes transition seamless.
I have used filezilla regularly for years on both Windows and OS X and would recommend it to anyone!

Ugly as sin - Version: 3.2.4.1, 4/28/2009 02:23AM PST

Launched this app and practically quit it immediately. The interface is awful and considering the great other options such as CyberDuck and alike a saw no reason to battle through this ugly up to try and work it out.

I've used several versions of FileZilla for uploading and downloading files to my websites during building and maintenance. Though it is a little clunky, especially its interface (being something like an old Windows style), I've found it excellent and effortless and reliable. Even when other FTP programs wouldn't connect for odd reasons, FileZilla just carried on as though nothing was up. I love it. It's easy and clear to navigate local and remote files and folders and shows clear info for upload and download status, size etc.
I haven't found any 'folder sync' function but then again I never use that so haven't looked very hard.

I used Fetch for years, now I just used SimpleFTP, it's very fast at connecting and is very user friendly. It's just fun to use. I actually paid real money for it, which is very rare for me.
When really great apps come out I always pay for them. Apps like SimpleFTP, CopyPaste, SuperDuper, Overflow. I'm sure there's a couple dozen others.
There's like a dozen or so different FTP apps, do we really need to reinvent the wheel.

Works, but is hideously ugly. The entire UI, regardless of platform, needs a complete rethink, because there is just too much, too many panels and too complicated an interface by default. The vast majority of these extra panels should be hidden away as optional log, progress and transcript windows.
Unlike Fetch, which relys on the difficult-to-manage Apple Keychain for shortcut passwords.
Don't know how Cyberduck or SImple FTP handles that --
BUT it is old Windows ugly and confusing to a Mac user.
Yes fast, stable and solid, once you get used to doing things the old WIndows way.
For big workgroups or managing an FTP server, yes.
For indiviudal users, probably not worth the learning curve unless you are used to Windows version.
Help files are almost all WIndows-specific (and therefor NOT helpful)
