Title: Filezilla no longer supports Windows XP...
Post by: Intheswamp on June 08, 2014, 09:54:55 AM
Ok, I thought I'd put a note out here with the issue of Filezilla not working with Windows XP anymore in the subject line.

Last night during my "chat" with Godaddy regarding a ftp outage, the tech told me that Filezilla no longer works with Windows XP.  I am running v3.8.0 of Filezilla and it works fine.  The latest version is v3.8.1, though, and it no longer lists Windows XP as a operating system that it works with.  It only states "Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 are supported, each both 32 and 64 bit.".

I just thought I'd pass this on to ya'll in case you still have an XP machine that you're using for ftp'ing.  I have an older Dell laptop with XP on it that I use for my weather station...it works great.  Filezilla v3.8.0 is working fine for me. :)

FWIW,
Ed

"Works" and "supported" are two different animals

If MS didn't so totally hose win 8 there wouldn't be so many people on xp

I also find goDaddy support is pretty hit and miss fwiw
