Just went to the FileZilla website to grab a link for a forum post and to my surprise version 3.0 was just released.
From the FileZilla Project Page:
Overview
FileZilla Client is a fast and reliable cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with lots of useful features and an intuitive interface.
Features
Among others, the features of FileZilla include the following:
* Easy to use
* Supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
* Cross-platform. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD, OSX and more
* Available in many languages
* Supports resume and transfer of large files >4GB
* Powerful Site Manager and transfer queue
* Drag & drop support
* Configurable Speed limits
* Filename filters
* Network configuration wizard
There are missing features but it is a complete codebase rewrite and it is blazing fast compared to 2.2.32 but you may want to hang onto 2.2.32 for a while until the features are added back to 3.x.
Cheers,
Jay

I wonder how this compares to WinSCP? It has been my client of choice most recently, as I wasn’t too fond of the previous FileZilla interface. I may have to check this one out...
I’ve been using FIlezilla for a long long time. I’ll have to upgrade. I moved to Filezilla after messing about with something using SmartFTP for an hour, only to realise that it had in fact updated the file, but smartFTP really wanted to use a cache instead of displaying the newer version.
Thanks for the link

Its good to have more Linux software, but I cannot see FileZilla on Linux becoming that popular: there are a lot of good FTP clients out there. I tried FileZilla and I far prefer to use Konqueror which is a lot more intuitive (remote directories look just like local ones always do, you can open files in an editor directly from it, etc.).
The only additional feature I could see in FileZilla (over Konq) is resume functionality, which might be useful for large files, but Kget has that and integrates into Konq.
