FileZilla transfers files unreliably

FileZilla transfers files unreliably I have had numerous examples of this and it s cost me a lot of time I now use another product winscp and NEVER have unreliable transfers

Bundled with malware

Used filezilla often But the fact that the latest installer SILENTLY installs third party software that changes your search engine and other browser settings is unforgivable

INSTALLS MALWARE

DO NOT INSTALL FILEZILLA IT WILL INSTALL ADWARE ON TO YOUR COMPUTER I think that many of the good reviews here are not paid by filezilla rather users who have not noticed the adware installed on their pc I needed 5 adware removers to remove the damn adware

Installs 3rd party software without asking

Opening the install file automatically installed third party software from WebCompanion which either crashed or forced my Google Chrome closed resulting in all my tabs being crashed The software tried to automatically give itself permissions to view and access ALL of my internet browsing history Luckily Chrome warned me and asked if I wanted to uninstall their trash All this before I even agreed to FileZillas terms to install the software I actually downloaded FROM THEIR SITE not a third party This kind of action is a complete violation of trust not to mention privacy given what the third party software was trying to access I will never use FileZilla due to it GTFO

The Filezilla people are not ethical

The Filezilla people are not ethical They sold me a license assuring me it was a lifetime license Now they are refusing to give me my license key when my computer died They are telling me you have to go to older computer and reset it How can I reset the license from a computer that s dead The lifetime license is a scam I have bought other software from companies like Wondershare and Techsmith They allow me to reset the license or connect license to email id and password Filezilla s sales promise is false They are an unethical company If you pay them know that they will not respect their promise
