FileZilla is a fast and reliable FTP client, including secure options SFTP and TLS. The program interface includes an easy-to-use tabbed window, drag-and-drop capability, bookmarks, remote and recursive file search, remote file editing and a managable upload/download queue. Internally, it supports connection throttling, keepalive, timeout detection, IPv6, SOCKS 4/5 and HTTP 1.1 proxy etc.

Alternatively, Filezilla Portable is pre-configured as portable and automatically adjusts paths, as well as X-Filezilla.

Cross-platform with clients available for Mac and Linux. For Windows XP, an older and unsupported version is available. A portable Filezilla server is available as part of XMPP.

@billon
Thanks for updating "How to extract".

Having used it for many years, Filezilla has lost its way now in my opinion. The irritating pop up balloon on every successful upload is just one of the annoyances. The latest update seemed to corrupt something on my Windows and I was reduced to about one fifteenth of the normal upload speed. Going back to an ancient version hasn't fixed the issue and the portable versions are the same. However WinSCP works fine so it's that for me from now on.

Notes:

  1. To also add portable Python:

    2. In XAMPP's control panel, click Config=>Apache (httpd.conf)
    3. Add AddHandler cgi-script .py into the end of the file (see this blog post for other info)
    4. Start your PY files with #!..\Python\python.exe (or wherever else you extracted the Python folder)
  2. To also add portable Composer:
    1. Download Compser's Manual Installation (i.e. portable) version
    2. Extract it in any folder you like
    3. Modify the command in the link above to the relative (or absolute) path to the main PHP file, for example (assuming you'll run composer from htdocs):
      @echo ..\php\php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*>composer.bat
    4. In order to be able to download packages, edit php\php.ini and uncomment ;extension=zip (i.e. remove the ;)
  3. One useful function of this program is the Wiki on a stick tool that works with XAMPP.
  4. XAMPP has add-on capabilities, currently only a WordPress installation (but previously also a portable MediaWiki).

webfork: Because it's their preferred portable build. Not everyone will need the full package. The lite / portable build should be sufficient for people building a website for testing locally and on the go.

Just for clarification, is the full version portable? Because the only version labelled "portable" at the download link appears to be the lite version, without FTP or Mail.

Note: The description should replace Oracle's MySQL with the community-based fork: MariaDB.
