We do not provide instructions for outdated, insecure operating systems. You need to update to a modern operating system.

非常遗憾,我很奇怪作为一种免费开源的软件为何如此执着于让用户升级?我认为使用何种软件应该由用户自己决定,因为每个用户的使用环境不尽相同,每个用户都会选择最适合自己的软件,作为作者不应该强制用户去使用何种软件和升级,尤其是对一个开源免费的软件来说更不应该像微软这样的商业软件那样逼迫用户升级。我见过许多开源甚至是闭源的软件作者都提供了从初始的第一版到最新版的下载,甚至从 Win95/98 都有。我实在无法理解 Filezilla 对用户升级如此执着。

Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately, I wonder why as a free and open source software, is so obsessed with letting users upgrade. I think what kind of software to use should be decided by the user himself, because each user's use environment is different, each user will choose the most suitable software for themselves, as the author should not force users to use what kind of software and upgrades, especially for an open source free software should not force users to upgrade like commercial software like Microsoft. I've seen many open source and even closed source software authors provide downloads from the initial first version to the latest version, even from Win95/98. I really can't understand Filezilla's obsession with user upgrades.

It's a networked program. One should never ever use outdated software in a networked environment. Only fully offline computers may run outdated software.

虽然说网络安全问题是一个值得重视的问题,但大部分用户,尤其是个人用户并不是很介意这个问题,再说也没有绝对可靠的安全,就算是一些著名的大公司也会发生网络安全事故。对一般个人用户来说不会很讲究这个问题,很多用户甚至连补丁都不打。所以如果发生问题那也是用户自己负责,与软件作者无关。

Although the issue of network security is a problem worthy of attention, most users, especially individual users, do not mind this problem very much, and there is no infallible security, even some famous large companies will have network security accidents. For the average individual user, this problem is not very important, and many users do not even patch it. So if a problem occurs, it is also the responsibility of the user himself, and has nothing to do with the author of the software.

It is this lax attitude towards updates that is causing the network security accidents both for famous large companies as well as individual users.

还是那句话,这是由哪些用户自己负责,还不需要由各个软件的作者负责,作者勿需为那些大公司和个人用户过于操心。

Again, which users are responsible for themselves, and the authors of the individual software do not need to worry too much about those large companies and individual users.

The latest versions of all FileZilla products still run on Windows 7, provided it's fully updated. Source: I'm running it right now.

感谢回复。
因为我看到下载页面上的说明是 "The 64bit versions of Windows 8.1, 10 and 11 are supported." 所以我就以为 Windows 7 已经不支持了。
谢谢告知还能用。

Thanks for the reply.
Because I saw the instructions on the download page that said, "The 64bit versions of Windows 8.1, 10 and 11 are supported," I thought Windows 7 was no longer supported.
Thanks for informing that it still works.

Running and being supported are two different things. On the download page, only the supported OS are listed.

@botg: You should remove Windows 8.1 as well, given that its support from MS ended in January.
