I want to install FileZilla. I can find it in Ubuntu Software Center but not download button. Using Ubuntu Dash I can't find a download button either.
Using terminal it doesn't work because I only found instructions for Ubuntu 12 (but I am on 13.04).
Filezilla is already available in default repos of Ubuntu 13.04
You can try this
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install filezilla
nischay@NischayLaptop:~$ apt-cache search filezilla
filezilla - Full-featured graphical FTP/FTPS/SFTP client
filezilla-common - Architecture independent files for filezilla
nischay@NischayLaptop:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=raring
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.04"
To install FileZilla, you just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adabbas/1stppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install filezilla
For latest version of filezilla use below example of filezilla version 3.10.1.1
wget sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/files/FileZilla_Client/3.10.1.1/FileZilla_3.10.1.1_i586-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf FileZilla_3.10.1.1_i586-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
Note extracting folder. Here is filezilla3
sudo rm -rf /opt/filezilla*
sudo mv **FileZilla3** /opt/**filezilla3**
sudo ln -sf /opt/**filezilla3**/bin/filezilla /usr/bin/filezilla
filezilla
Now filezilla is available in Ubuntu Software.
Alternate:
You can download the file directly from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
More info:
As of now the file is FileZilla_3.56.0_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 . Extract it to your required folder, it can be in your home folder.
My file location is /home/sudhakar/Soft/FileZilla_3.56.0_x86_64-linux-gnu/FileZilla3
&4.: Then create a filezilla.desktop file at /home/sudhakar/.local/share/applications
filezilla.desktop

Finally: Check it in app launcher. If it's not there just logout and login. It should appear in app launcher.
NOTE: This will be available for current user only. If you want to install for all the users in the PC. (2) Move the extracted folder to /opt directory (it requires admin permission. In terminal - sudo mv '/home/sudhakar/Soft/FileZilla_3.56.0_x86_64-linux-gnu/FileZilla3' '/opt'). Also move the filezilla.desktop file to /usr/share/applications folder. Before moving update Exec= and Icon= location.
