Filezilla security issue

I have been using Filezilla Client for years on various computers and I love it...it works great.

Except, right now. on one of our computers, I am unable to securely download files.

I have been getting the attached security message over the last week, and Windows Defender Antivirus twice flagged files right after I tried to download files from Filezilla. The computer in question is a Windows 10 Pro computer. I am not getting any such error message when downloading the same files on two other Windows servers that are using other Windows OS's.

I have checked, and I have the latest update of Filezilla.

What should I do? Is there a fix for this?

Windows Defender flagging it is a false-positive, contact Microsoft to have this fixed.

Filezilla download problem

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to download a large file(about 6gb) with filezilla through my ftp server(running filezilla) at home while I'm at college. Unfortunately, it always seems to give me this message while I'm around 30% done saying that the file exists. I've tried the skip, overwrite, and resume options, but it always resets. How do I get around this problem? Can I just not download a file that big?

thanks in advance

 

Filezilla download problem

I don't know, I use pretty much the same setup, Filezilla Server and FileZilla client, and have download 10GB+ files with it. There might be a setting somewhere in the server that is preventing the file from resuming, or maybe even something in the client.

 

Filezilla connection timeout

Sorry, nope, don't use it.*Oh Well hwell:

Edit:

Not to be condescending or anything... have you tried Googling it: connect to my site server through filezilla
