Last updated: April 4, 2019

FileZilla client has recently reached the 3.20 release. While Ubuntu 16.04 offers the old 3.15.0 release in its main archive, you can easily upgrade to FileZilla 3.20 by following this tutorial.

FileZilla 3.20 now depends on ibfilezilla >= 0.6.1, it brings some crash fixes, error message improvements, and other bug-fixes. See details at this page.

1. Open terminal from Unity Dash or via Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut keys. When it opens, run commands to:

add Getdeb repository:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'

install the key:

wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

2. Launch Software Updater and upgrade the FTP client.

Last updated: April 4, 2019

The GetDeb repository now is maintaining the latest FileZilla client to make it easy to install and upgrade FileZilla in Ubuntu 16.04.

FileZilla FTP Client is available in Ubuntu universe repositories, but Canonical does not provide updates for the application. You have to manually install / upgrade the client as a new version is released.

While the official Linux binary is not well integrated with Ubuntu, the GetDeb repository now builds FileZilla for Ubuntu 16.04, so far it’s version 3.19.0.

1. Add GetDeb repository.

For Ubuntu 16.04 and derivatives, open terminal and paste (Ctrl+Shift+V) the command below and hit run:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'

Type in your password when it asks (no visual feedback) and hit enter.

To make Ubuntu trust the packages from that repository, install the key:

wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

2. Install / Upgrade FileZilla Client.

If you have a previous release installed, you can now upgrade it by launching Software Updater:
