   FileZilla is a fast, reliable, and secure FTP/SFTP client that allows you to transfer files between Web sites and PCs running Windows

 

Why do I need it?
The open architecture of the Internet is great for rapidly exchanging information, and it's designed to be very stable, even when vast numbers of people are using the system. Unfortunately, the very "openness" that makes the Internet so useful also makes it vulnerable to malicious attack.

Common attacks include eavesdropping for passwords or sensitive information; hijacking messages to inspect and modify transmitted data; and faking network addresses to fool access control mechanisms or redirect connections to a fake server.

Using FileZilla helps guard against all of these attacks.
