I disagree, read the RFC. There are plenty of more secure FTP
clients such as the OpenSSH.com groups proactive secure Secure FTP
(sftp) implementation of FTP.

That issue is inherent in the FTP protocol, not FileZilla.
Resolution: set up FTP server to use either SFTP or FTPS.

Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Security issue in Filezilla
3.0.9.2:passwords
are stored in plain text (sitemanager.xml)
I have noticed a similar, yet much more severe flaw in Filezilla.
When logging in to a remote server, Filezilla will send the
password in clear text without encrypting it. This means every
machine on the internet that it routes through can intercept it.
Same flaw, much more serious consequences, since, who has access
to
your personal PC anyway?
