Download FileZilla 2.2.23

The developers behind the open source ftp client FileZilla have just released version 2.2.23 of their program on SourceForge. There really isn’t much to say about this program, it’s a small, but very complete and easy-to-use ftp client. For example, there is support for FTP, SFTP, SSL and GSS connections. Biggest change in this version is support for it 8bit Unicode Transformation Format, also known as UTF-8. The new feature does mean that Windows 9x are no longer supported. The full changelog looks like this:

New features:

• Now using Unicode internally. As a result, no longer runs on Windows 9x/ME. This should fix every charset conversion issue as long as the server supports UTF8.

Fixed bugs:

• Fix critical buffer overflow. Remote code execution might have been possible if connecting to a malicious server.
• Fix performance issues on systems with more than one CPU.
