FileZilla is still awesome after 24 years

Applications

Now and then I need to upload something over SFTP (usually pretty large site backups) and I’ve been using FileZilla for this the last few months. As "retro" as the UI is, this app is still awesome and I am impressed with the speed of my file transfers every time I use it!

The UI hasn’t changed much

Just wanted to share some love for this venerable app.
