<li><b>How much does FileZilla cost?<br />Is FileZilla free?<br />Can FileZilla be used commercially?</b><br />
FileZilla is free open-source software distributed under the terms of the [http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/GPL.html GNU General Public License] free of charge.
<br />
Basically this means that everyone, including corporate entities, can use FileZilla, including but not limited to private, educational and commercial use.
</li>
<li><b>What do the version numbers of FileZilla mean?</b><br />
The version numbers of FileZilla (client and server) are in the following format: n.n.n[c], where n is a number and c an alphabetical character.
The first number is the major version number followed by two minor version numbers. The character at the end is optional and indicates maintenance releases, which mostly fix bugs; the "a" or "b" suffix does NOT imply the instabilities conventionally associated with an "alpha" or "beta" quality release.

<br />
<br />
Example: 2.2.4 would be the original version, the first maintenance would then get 2.2.4a as version, the next 2.2.4b and so on.
