FileZilla is being ported to Linux! Hurray

I used to use FileZilla on Windows before I migrated to Ubuntu Linux. Found out today that the FileZilla team are working on a port to Linux. Alpha snapshots are available here:

FileZilla is a great FTP tool, user friendly and very capable. It appears that the team are using the cross-platform wxWidgets GUI toolkit for the UI, it uses GTK+ on linux so FileZilla already looks good on the Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop. I look forward to the official release of version 3 on linux. Here’s a screen shot.
