Download libfilezilla-0.23.0 that is needed from here. NOTE: Only libfilezilla-0.11.0 is available in the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS repositories. Also, only libfilezilla-0.19.0 is available in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repositories.
Installation with the zip version is very simple as long as you know how to work with zip files and can manage general file and directory handling in Windows. Basically you just extract (unzip) the downloaded file to a folder on your disk, e.g. "C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client\" and then just start FileZilla with the filezilla.exe file afterwards. Please note that this action requires Elevation on Windows Vista/7/8! It might be a good idea to make a shortcut to this file on your desktop/start menu/quick launch so that you can easily access it.
If you're using GNU/Linux, you can also try using the precompiled binaries. After extracting the files to any location (location does not matter, FileZilla can detect its own installation prefix), you can start the program using the filezilla executable in the bin/ subdirectory. Please note that due to differences in distributions, the provided binaries might not work on your system.
i'm using raspbian and i want to upgrade filezilla to the latest version, because the current 2 year old version available in "stable" is causing me a handful of issues, i want to see if they're fixed in the latest version.
the latest version of filezilla seems to be available in testing and unstable repos, but the more i read up on how to install a package from testing into stable, the more confusing it is to me, some claiming it's a bad idea.
