Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, FileZilla is a popular FTP client, available for Linux, Windows and Mac systems. The latest version available is FileZilla 3.9.0.3, which has been recently released, coming only with small changes and improvements only:
- Fix potential crash on connection failures
- Fixed navigating through the different controls in FileZilla’s main window using the Tab key

Because FileZilla 3.9.0.3 is not available via any repository yet, we have to download FileZilla 3.9.0.3 from the project’s site, extract the archive, move to /opt and alias the launcher.
