In their own words

FileZilla Client

FileZilla Client is a free FTP solution for file transfers, with support for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. It is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project presents FileZilla Client separately from FileZilla Server, FileZilla Pro, and RemoteDrive, so those products should not be assumed to be part of the Client. Documentation includes installation instructions for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, plus tutorials, usage guidance, and help with connection, transfer, and network configuration problems. The Wiki also includes guidance for key-based SFTP authentication. Support resources include a community forum, Wiki, FAQ, support section, and contact page. The project site links to source code, an issue tracker, nightly builds, translations, and version history. FileZilla Pro is a separate product whose overview lists support for cloud services including S3, Google Drive, and OneDrive. No paid price or billing schedule is stated for the Client, and no free-tier limits are stated.
