Nautilus, Gnome's file manager, have offered this functionality for several years.

That's a weird thought considering that the parent comment is using Linux.
It is also ridiculous that people on other platforms do not have a bullet proof file transfer tool baked into the operating system. Even VAX/VMS had better built in file transfer tools than what Windows has today.
If I had a choice I would, but unless you have a few million dollars to give us to refactor 30 years of technical debt, please answer the question.
That's not how I wrote my comment above, I gave you alternatives.
> If I had a choice I would
You have choices, many.

How is using FileZilla a technical debt? What are you requiring from FileZilla that you need a few million of dollars to refactor code? What kind of code depends on an external FTP client to work? If you give more details about why your company has such a weird technical debt, maybe I or other can give you more options to switch.
> please answer the question
I did, you asked for alternatives, I gave you Rsync and SCP.
afaict, they asked about the impact to the linux build of filezilla (not about alternatives).
are rsync and scp strict supersets of filezilla's features?
Would you like the email of my cto to explain to them why I have those choices?
>What kind of code depends on an external FTP client to work?
The type that invests your 401k's. Filezilla called from Excel macros.

I didn't. You just told me I was doing it wrong and need to change it to do it right.
