When it comes to FTP connections, FileZilla is one of the best applications that can be used in order to securely connect and transfer files using the mentioned protocol. The FTP transfer method is mainly used for website administrators that need to download or upload files to their site.

The login information can be used for a single time or they can be memorized by the tool for further use, if a user needs to do various changes to the website.

The files will be displayed with various details and users can make use of drag and drop feature in order to transfer different files with ease.
