Software Update: FileZilla 3.48.1

Version 3.48.1 of the open source FTP client FileZilla has been released. FileZilla is small, simple and yet complete. The program is popular due to its low system resource load. FileZilla is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Since version 3.26.0, passwords are also stored encrypted and secured on the computer. Nowadays there is also a Pro version, which provides support for a small fee for various online storage services.
