For Linux, download the i586-linux-gnu package, such as FileZilla_3.0.0-rc3_2. Keep in mind that FileZilla 3 is still currently in a beta status, but it should be at release status soon. To begin, make sure wxWidgets is installed and then download FileZilla from the Web site. For others that do not provide it, you will need to download and compile wxWidgets. Some Linux vendors provide a packaged version of wxWidgets, such as Mandriva Linux, so installation of wxWidgets may only be an apt-get or urpmi away.

The only prerequisite is to have the wxWidgets package installed. Using the wxWidgets cross-platform user interface, FileZilla now can be used with a consistent look-and-feel on multiple operating systems. Previous versions of FileZilla were only available for Windows. Recently, the open source FileZilla FTP client became available for Mac OS X and Linux.
