FileZilla Server is a server that supports '''FTP''' and '''FTP over TLS''' which provides secure encrypted connections to the server.


FileZilla supports SSL, the same level of encryption supported by your web browser, to protect your data. When using SSL your data is encrypted so that prying eyes cannot see it, and your confidential information is protected. It also supports on-the-fly data compression, which can improve the transfer rates.
Support for [https://filezillapro.com/docs/v3/faq/what-is-sftp/ SFTP] (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is available only in [https://filezillapro.com/server/ FileZilla Pro Enterprise Server]


Unfortunately, the compression setting can have mixed results, so it is advised to use it with care. It is possible for files that are already compressed to be transferred over the network using more than their original data size.


Support for SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is not implemented in Filezilla Server.

I am learning that moral courage comes when selfish timidity is renounced.  It becomes easier to pray about these larger issues then.  And courage comes from a word that means heart.  So when I  heart  my community, the courage to stand up for good is easier.
