FileZilla is a program for managing FTP connections, FileZilla is multiplatform and is also available for operating systems GNU / Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as well as being open source and licensed under the GNU General Public License.
fileZilla supports FTP, SFTP and FTP over SSL / TLS protocols (FTPS), which allows us to manage and administer the credentials of sites with which we can establish encrypted connections.
FileZilla Features
- Site administrator: with your connection data, with normal or anonymous login. For normal startup, the username and optionally the password are saved.
- Message log: displayed at the top of the window. Displays in the form of a console the commands sent by FileZilla and the responses from the remote server.
- File and Folder View - Located in the central part of the window, provides a graphical interface for FTP.

How to install FileZilla 3.30.0 on Ubuntu?
In order to install this new version we we must go to their official website and download the package that they offer us.
On the other hand, we can install it on Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives through the help of Flatpak, for this we must install the flatpak support in our system and install Filezilla in the system.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install flatpak
Now we must install with the following command:
flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.filezillaproject.Filezilla.flatpakref
Great news! Whenever I use it, it asks me to update through direct downloads on its web page, but it is better that they have included it, prior test in between, in the official Ubuntu repositories.
Thanks for the article on one of the veteran FTP software.
Here is better explained the use of flatpak, honestly I find the matter cumbersome but it was the best solution I found:
