This application looks fine to me.

Clearly labeled sections.

Local on one side, remote on the other

Transfer window on bottom

Thats how you know its old. Its not caked full of ads, insanely locked down, and trying yo sell you a subscription service.

Except that FileZilla does come with bundled adware from their sponsors and they do want you to pay for the pro version. It probably is the shittiest GPL-licensed piece of software I can think of.

It even has questionably-helpful mysterious blinky lights at the bottom right which may or may not do anything useful.
