How to install a newer version of filezilla on linux?

Question

linux

Filezilla broke, crashes when I connect via sftp. Advised to reinstall to a later version.
I downloaded the version I needed from the sourceforge site, unpacked it, but I don’t know what to do next. There are just two folders bin and share and everything else?
I tried this command, but alas (

$ sudo rm -rf /opt/filezilla*
$ sudo mv FileZilla3 /opt/filezilla3
$ sudo ln -sf /opt/filezilla3/bin/filezilla /usr/bin/filezilla

Answer 1

any attempt to put an application in linux stupidly make install or manual copying is doomed to failure with high chances, and even worse, you can destroy the system.
use the tools that your operating system provides - a package manager and building packages from sources
for example for ubuntu:
google: ubuntu building packages of a different version from sources
good docks with
ps examples if you fundamentally want to install applications manually, first try to install in your home without root, so at least you won't break anything.

Answer 2

I looked at the sources. The standard configure-make-make install process. I don't know where you got your archive from.
It should be noted here that - for systems that work on ready-made packages, installing a package from source can only be done if you really accurately and completely imagine what you are doing. If you haven’t seen anything besides bubunta (and don’t want to) - it’s better not to do this - there is a non-zero probability that after that something will stop being installed, something will stop working, or even the system will have to be demolished. You have to pay for convenience :)
