How to install FileZilla 3.22.0-rc1 released on Ubuntu

    FileZilla is a free, cross-platform and full-featured FTP (File Transfer Protocol) solution for the Linux and Open Source ecosystems. It is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

FileZilla 3.22.0-rc1 New features:
  •     Directory listing filters can now be exported and imported
  •     Added the "not all" filter match type to filter out all items not matching all conditions
  •     Added the "not all" search match type to search for all items not matching all conditions
  •     Building and running FileZilla now depends on libfilezilla >= 0.7.0 (https://lib.filezilla-project.org/).
  •     Building and running FileZilla now depends on GnuTLS >= 3.4.15

FileZilla 3.22.0-rc1 Bugfixes and minor changes:
  •     Speed up creation of socket and file i/o threads through the use of a thread pool
  •     Replace invalid characters in filenames when calculating the local filename for editing remote files
  •     The updater can now handle HTTPS servers that redirect to other HTTPS servers
  •     SFTP: Try password based login if a password-protected keyfile is rejected by the server instead of failing the login
  •     MSW: Tee shell extension now supports long paths on Windows 10
