For the folks looking for an efficient open-source FTP client, Filezilla can be an ideal answer for multiple reasons. First and foremost, it has a clean interface and is pretty easy to use. That means you won’t have to spend a lot of time mastering the tools, making FileZilla more suitable for beginners. I'm running MacOS Catalina (10.15.2) and have used Filezilla for years. Today the less-then-current version I was using crashed so I downloaded the free version for Mac 3.46.3 but can't get it to run.

I'm running MacOS Catalina (10.15.2) and have used Filezilla for years. Today the less-then-current version I was using crashed so I downloaded the free version for Mac 3.46.3 but can't get it to run. From the download file, I can extract the .tar file using WinZip, then from that extract the 'package' named Filezilla (again using Winzip) but the Filezilla icon has the ominous 'no' sign on it (circle with a cross bar). When I nonetheless move it into my Applications I can see it in LaunchPad but when I try to run it it says 'Application cannot be opened.'
I also tried 3.46.2 and got the same results.
Any ideas?

What is FTP?

Filezilla Server Download

As its name suggests, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standardized network protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server over the internet or any other TCP/IP network. FTP has been designed to promote sharing of files, across all types of computers. A strength of FTP is the reliable and efficient bulk transfer of files. FTP is popular with website owners and web designers to upload files to the servers of their web hosting company. Another common use case is the exchange of files between companies; FTP is in many organizations the de facto method for transferring large volumes of data.

An FTP Client is a program designed to transfer files between two computers. While most web browsers support FTP file downloads, to upload files and to perform other FTP tasks a dedicated FTP Client is needed. By using an FTP Client users can upload, download, delete, rename, move and copy files on a remote server. While FTP could be accessed via terminal, programs with a graphical user interface are preferred, and Filezilla Client represents an easy to use multiplatform solution. Filezilla is the most popular and easy to use FTP Client, it is feature rich and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
