Now filezilla is available in Ubuntu Software.
Alternate:
You can download the file directly from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
- Extract it
- Keep in a folder
- Create a .desktop file
- Move .desktop file to application folder

As of now the file is FileZilla_3.56.0_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 . Extract it to your required folder, it can be in your home folder.
My file location is /home/sudhakar/Soft/FileZilla_3.56.0_x86_64-linux-gnu/FileZilla3
&4.: Then create a filezilla.desktop file at /home/sudhakar/.local/share/applications

Finally:
Check it in app launcher. If it's not there just logout and login. It should appear in app launcher.
NOTE: This will be available for current user only. If you want to install for all the users in the PC. (2) Move the extracted folder to /opt directory (it requires admin permission. In terminal - sudo mv '/home/sudhakar/Soft/FileZilla_3.56.0_x86_64-linux-gnu/FileZilla3' '/opt'
). Also move the filezilla.desktop file to /usr/share/applications folder. Before moving update Exec= and Icon= location.
