Download FileZilla 3.13.0 RC1

FileZilla has released a new version of its eponymous open source FTP client, a beta this time. FileZilla is small, simple and yet complete. The program is popular due to its low system resource load. However, a common complaint is that passwords are stored unencrypted on the computer. FileZilla is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and can be downloaded from this page be downloaded in different versions. SourceForge, which hosts the downloads, has been in the news lately because it offers some downloads through its own download manager that contains adware. However, this is not the case for FileZilla. In version 3.13.0, the following changes and improvements have been made:

New features:

• For SFTP servers the private key file to use can now be specified in the Site Manager
• The contents of each queue tab can now be exported through the context menu
• MSW: The installer now registers the App Path so that FileZilla is recognized in the Win+R dialog
• FileZilla now uses pugixml instead of TinyXML to parse and create XML files
• Several performance improvements
• Code cleanup and modernization, building FileZilla now requires a C++14 compiler

Bug fixes and minor changes:

• Fixed an assert loading sitemanager.xml created by an old version
• If password saving is disabled, specifying a password on the command-line no longer leads to extraneous password prompts when transferring files
• If deleting remote directories via the directory tree, navigate out of the directory tree that is to be deleted
