FileZilla Thick Client SSO

FileZilla is a thick client FTP/SFTP application that runs on the user’s desktop and provides a rich graphical interface for managing file transfers to remote servers. As a thick client, it handles connection profiles, encryption settings, and file operations locally while communicating with FTP, FTPS, or SFTP servers over the network.
