    Yes, Filezilla has good recommendations, characters. The only some things is unclear, i.e. how many registry entries it write, does it install all files into its own directory, do not replace any system dlls.
    Actually, I used to run FZ at school off my USB hard drive because from what I saw it was one of the only clients that seems to only write its location into the registry. I say this because when I moved the drive to other machines (logged in under different accounts as well) it started up and worked fine, and still remembered all my server info. This also leads me to conclude that it doesn't install any DLLs outside its own directory.

    There are two Filezilla packages available - .exe installer and zip( binaries). What is preferable use in 'standard' PC? Also, one questionable moment is that installer has rather big size 4.36Mb, compare with others ftp clients.
    I'd prefer use lightweight, clean tool, that install less files.
