Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. My issue is that I am unable to actually download the executable from the official site as Windows Defender blocks the download. I will get to that issue as and when I can download the file. This blocking of Filezilla is a new issue as we never used to have issues downloading this for our users previously.
Just wondering what signature changes have been made to Windows Defender that would cause Filezilla to be flagged? I assume that MS have now updated their signatures as this is no longer being blocked by Windows Defender. I know that I saw other people having the same issue, so I guess either someone noticed at MS and made a fix, or the people over at Filezilla said something.

I've installed it correctly, but it isn't opening.
Also since this isn't working then what other ftp clients can I use? It is simplier to find way to run Filezilla than to install something else and find way to run it. The application was selected for the European Union's bug bounty program among other software applications. The main download page offers a download for Windows only; this particular version includes a bundled offer, aka adware.
Text on the page highlights this: "This installer may include bundled offers. Check below for more options". If you download the client anyway using that option, you may get a Windows Defender warning about potentially unwanted software.
However, there is a better option as the project maintains copies of the client version that are adware free. The download page lists downloads for Windows, Mac OS and Linux, and all are free from any bundled additions. The Windows version is offered as a setup version or portable version, and both can be used, as both are free of sponsored content. You may check the filenames as well to verify that. The version of FileZilla that comes with adware has "sponsored" added to the filename, the clean version names come without the word.
To sum it up: if you have to download FileZilla from the official site, make sure you download the version that does not come with bundled software, that you don't need. If you want an alternative, check out the excellent WinSCP. Now You : do you use file transfer software?
Funny you mention that, I remember years back when users asked FileZilla to stop storing passwords in plaintext the developer scoffed at the idea and said if you get owned its your own fault. This deception has been going on for a long time. It not always the case with other software and I stay well away from these. The developers post it in BOLD letters:.
When I started up my FTP program today I received automatically, the not even on the download page visible, the latest release version.
