= Torifying Filezilla = 

Filezilla is a widely used open-source, cross-platform file transfer client originally released in 2001. It features a graphical user interface and a considerable variety of configuration options. Filezilla offers client-side support for SCP, FTP, SFTP and FTPS connections, and is a popular choice for Windows users that utilise these protocols. It can frequently be found in the repositories of major *NIX distributions, and is available for download from the official homepage for Windows and MacOS users. 

Official site: [https://Filezilla-Project.org].

=== Note on FTP/S ===
FTP requires two different connections: one for commands and one for data.
A data  connection is created every time a directory listing is created 
/ browsed or file is transmitted. Almost every modern FTP server checks if
both the control connection and data connection come from the same IP address. 
Tor changes circuits for new TCP connections every 10 minutes - this means, if
you  download several files from the same FTP server (or browse content of
FTP server), your  connection  will fail in approximately 10 minute 
intervals, and you will need to  re-connect.  Please note this only affects 
newly created connections, and does not interrupt current file downloads.

== Configuring Filezilla settings ==
1. Download and Install the [https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1 Filezilla client software]. Ensure you select the correct system architecture.
