FileZilla Download
The FileZilla file downloads are available
here
If that link doesn't work, try
the main page
and click "Download" in the "Contents" column.
Scroll down to the second "Table" on the page and find a
file that looks like FileZilla_X_X_X_setup.exe
Click on that and save it to your disk.
FileZilla Installation
Run (double-click on) the FileZilla_X_X_X_setup.exe file on your disk.
If you get a security warning, click Run.
Have your lawyer read the incredibly long License Agreement, or since it
is the GNU general public license, just agree.
In the Choose Components window I suggest UN-checking:
- Additional Languages (unless you want another language)
- Start Menu Shortcut
- Debug Files (takes up 7Mb disk space)
Use the default Install Location in Program Files
Use the default Start Menu Folder
Use the default General settings - or change if you want
Click Install.
This should leave a FileZilla (FZ) shortcut on your desktop.
