The FTP tool FileZilla does not appear to support HIPAA compliance.
There is no mention of HIPAA compliance or Business Associate Agreements (BAA) on the FileZilla website. The extensive Knowledge Base for FileZilla and FileZilla Pro doesn’t mention HIPAA either.
Several questions regarding HIPAA compliance have been posted to FileZilla forums, and most answers state that FileZilla does not enable HIPAA compliance.
FileZilla apparently supports secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) and file transfer protocol secure (FTPS), but without access controls, audit trails, and signed BAAs, these measures aren’t enough to satisfy HIPAA regulations.
