The FileZilla free FTP client is available for all the major operating systems.  To make the latest Windows release portable, follow these steps:

  1. Visit the FileZilla Client Download page and download the .zip package
  2. Unzip the package to your desired location.  z:\filezilla for example
  3. Copy z:\filezilla\docs\fzdefaults.xml.example to z:\filezilla\
  4. Rename z:\filezilla\fzdefaults.xml.example to fzdefaults.xml
  5. Edit z:\filezilla\fzdefaults.xml and change the following line under settings:
  6. <Setting name=“Config Location”>$SOMEDIR/filezilla/</Setting>
    
    Change to:
    
    <Setting name=“Config Location”>.</Setting>
  7. Save the file then launch FileZilla

If you were running an older 2.x version of the FileZilla client, you can import your FTP sites by selecting Edit/Import.
