FileZilla Client vs Xftp

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.

Xftp is a Windows client for transferring files with SFTP over SSH2 and FTP. It supports drag-and-drop, queued and concurrent transfers, plus FXP transfers between servers. Scheduled jobs can send or receive files daily, weekly, or once in the background. Folder comparison and synchronization help keep remote locations aligned, while browsing can stay aligned between two servers. File tools include remote editing, search, filtering, transfer prioritization, and command-line transfers. Authentication options include public keys, passwords, and keyboard-interactive login, as well as SSH PKCS#11 and Kerberos integrations. Listed encryption includes AES and CHACHA20, and users can set a master password. Xftp interoperates with Windows Explorer and NetSarang’s Xshell, Xagent, and Xmanager. It runs on Windows 8 or later and Windows Server 2012 or later. The free license is limited to personal, home, and educational non-commercial use. The standalone Xftp license is $59 as a one-time purchase, with one year of maintenance included; a free plan and a 30-day trial are also listed.
