Filezilla is software that implements well-known and supported file
transfer types, the same ones you mention below. It is not required to
install the Filezilla client, though if those are the instructions provided
by the file host, that may make lives easier.

Filezilla's server configuration wants to configure my firewall and router.

This phrasing suggests that you may have actually installed the Filezilla
server component, rather than the client.

You should probably just use the tools you're familiar with, and adapt the
instructions provided to you to suit.
