Hi All,
I was wondering if Filezilla pro has support for Path style access for Amazon S3 API or S3 Compatible API. Can anybody confirm?
Pathstyle support for S3 compatible API

No. If your third-party storage were S3 compatible it would support host-base access.

The preferred way to talk to S3. Amazon is deprecating path-style access.

Hi
It may be that Amazon is deprecating path-style access on their servers. However, S3 is now a widely used API and can be self-hosted (with e.g. MinIO). In my opinion, FileZilla S3 is too focused on Amazon. Entering alternative endpoints is a pain and the missing support for path style access makes it much harder to use for self-hosted servers. I personally purchased the pro version to use with a local MinIO server, but quickly found that the FileZilla S3 support is simply too weak. I am now using the free alternative CyberDuck which has wider support. Other tools, like tntdrive.com, also support both Amazon and alternative endpoints (with either access style).
I hope that you will consider upgrading the S3 implementation in the future.

S3 is a proprietary protocol by Amazon. Any third-party provider who claims to be S3 compatible needs to implement the entire S3 API.
