Review:
WYSIWYG Web Builder is based on the concept of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). This term means that the page terminated for Web publishing appears exactly the way that you created in the program.
The software generates HTML tags while you point and click on the desired functions. You can create all of this without learning anything about HTML. Just drag and drop objects in the right location within the page and publish.
This editor also creates custom forms for interaction with ActiveX, Java, Flash, Windows Media Player, QuickTime and other plug-ins. You can publish locally or use an FTP server within the program itself. Build everything you ever wanted to on the Web including photo galleries, banners, images, JavaScripts, with scrolling menus, navigation bars and much more with readymade templates.

FileZilla is open-source, free (GNU General Public License — a.k.a., “the GPL”) software that allows you to transfer files from one computer to another computer using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Of course, the ohe other computer must to be running an FTP or SFTP server for this to work.
FileZilla is designed for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, and XP and can be downloaded from the project’s SourceForge.net project page http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/.
Where might you use FileZilla? You could use it to download files from an FTP site. Similarly, you could use it to upload files to your web server account at your ISP or web-hosting company.
Filezilla can handle multiple transfer threads at the same time. This is especially helpful if you are tranferring a lot of little files. It also has a nice keep-alive function that will keep your FTP connection open and available. Since most web hosts will close the connection after a couple of minutes of no activity, this will solve no end of frustration if you are making a bunch of little tweaks and changes on your site.
As usual for most FTP programs these days, FileZilla has an optional setting called “passive.” This setting is required if your computer is behind a router or firewall, which I hope yours is.
FTP was originally designed to require two separate connections, one from the client (your machine) and the other originating from the Server. One connection was to be used for data and the other for control communications between the two computers. Of course, routers and firewalls will block the connection attempt that originates at the server from getting your computer. The “Passive” setting tells both computers to put all communications through the communications “port” opened by the client computer.
One very interesting feature that I like is that Filezilla can run multiple instances — multiple copies of Filezilla can run at the same time.
With Filezilla, I ftp to one site to upload files to that ftp server. While that is going, I can start another copy of Filezilla and connect to another ftp server. I can even use Filezilla to connect as two users to the ftp serverr, as long as the ftp server itself doesn’t limit the login.

FileZilla is a free FTP (file transfer protocol) program. It is free because it is Open Source and anyone can donate talent or money to the project.
Description: A decent FTP program.
Compatibility: Linux, Windows XP and Vista, Check HERE.
Necessary Info: FileZilla has many fans out there in the ether, but I don’t happen to be one of them. In fact, I’m not a huge fan of the whole FTP program genre. But as far as FTP programs go, FileZilla is a pretty good one.
Reasons to like FileZilla:
* Its free!
* It easily saves your previous successful login data to use again later.
* Auto Updates! Stay updated and stay safe, or at least safer.
* You can easily “Clear Private Data” just as in Firefox. And it gives you choices as to what you want to clear.
* It really has many relatively advanced options as far as FTP clients go.
* Can drag and drop to and from the desktop.
Reasons not to like FileZilla:
* Folders and files are located in small windows (which can be expanded).
* The visible file structure is a tree. I’m just not a big fan.
* You can easily create a network drive under XP and Vista for FTP servers that you use often. This is what I do and prefer.
Rating: 
Conclusion: If you need an FTP program, get it. It is better than most. If you use certain FTP Servers often, just create the network drive.
