If it works for you then fine, but be aware that a transfer that seemingly worked fine can end up being totally fubar and end up really pissing off your customers. This is with the current filezilla on sourceforge. I’ve now gone back to FlashFXP as this main benefit of filezilla is unusable. I had this about 10 times when deploying web sites to hosts or grabbing the current codebase – with multiple hosts using both Windows and *nix – and eventually had to resort to disabling the multiple processes completely. Interestingly, it supports internationally encoded files and allows. It lets you compress, extract, and browse archives directly from its interface. The client can connect to many sites inside a single window, thanks to its tabbed interface. Although not quite as advanced as Transmit, Cyberduck. CrossFTP (Windows, macOS, and NIX) CrossFTP is a free client that can batch transfer files in one go.

If you hate the idea of paying 30 for Transmit, give Cyberduck a whirl. It uploads a file to a folder with the right name… however the content of that file will be the content of a different file in the queue, either from the same folder or a different one. Mac OS X only: Manage your FTP connections for free with Cyberduck. The main one being that “enable multiple processes” (multiple connections to the FTP) has a massive bug where when either uploading OR downloading the ftp client totally mashes up the filenames. I used filezilla for a while but eventually switched back to FlashFXP due to a couple of highly annoying bugs.
