Just wanted to ask the question: Though I know that the Windows version of FileZilla is working more or less on CrossOver, why should one use a Windows port at all? FileZilla has its own Linux version which is updated as often as the Windows one.

It appears that Filezilla has a Linux port... now. It was not always the case, have you seen this forum post?
So why still keep applications like Filezilla in our Compatibility Center? They have a Linux port right?
In some cases the Linux version doesn't keep or get as much attention as the Windows version. In others the Linux version gets no attention at all.
For Filezilla and other applications that have a Linux port that works as well as the Windows version, it allows us to see how well CrossOver stacks up.
Cheers!
Thanks for the answer! You are completely right - using Windows ports of applications available also natively on Linux we can check the power of CrossOver! Regarding the FileZilla Windows port I can only say: Thumbs up!
