FileZilla problem, any other better alternative?

I use WinSCP/BitKinex/MobaXterm depending on what I'm doing. I also have a few Linux VMs. I wouldn't use Linux as a desktop OS though (it's pretty garbage for that, and OS X isn't much better these days). It's much easier just to have VM running in the background. Given the popularity of .net and what not, someones getting work done on Windows somewhere.

With Linux you can achieve a quite amazing setup on a desktop or laptop for great workflow.

If you venture into the territory of windows managers and not just desktop environments you can reach some pretty amazing levels of efficiency. I used i3 i3 - improved tiling wm for a while and it emphasizes workspaces and keyboard navigation. There is nothing productive about slogging windows around a screen and alt tabbing things. I've gotten more done my laptop running i3 than a desktop with 4 monitors and XFCE.
 


If you know your way around the file system, WinSCP is going to be the next easiest option.

If you work online, and your livelihood revolves around working with LINUX based servers, then yeah, switching your OS to LINUX tends to make shit easier.

If the guy can't make FileZilla work (preschool stuff) how is Linux going to be any easier?

LOL, I have used FileZilla before several times without any problems. But recently it started to give weird errors like showing the files being copied as already exist, much bigger than the source files. You would understand it when you face a problem like that. I didn't want to mess up my websites which are making a little extra money for me.

@JonamKos, what's stopping you from contacting your webhost's tech support?

Thanks. But I wanted to do it on my own without asking for the tech staff's help at my new host. I was (and am) a bit paranoid the tech guys might screw up or steal my affiliate commissions by replacing my affiliate links with theirs.

Anyway, I took a full backup of my home directory and used the files I got from the backup and uploaded the files to my new host. It worked well, without any problems.
