How to Create an SFS from filezilla-project.org download

Hi All,
Edit: The following didn't work under Tahrpup. See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 405#879405 which provides details about creating an SFS using Ubuntu Tahr debs obtained via Puppy Package Manager. I'll leave the balance of this post since the next official version of filezilla may again be usable, and may still be usable running other Pups.
3.5.3 was the last version of FileZilla available to Puppies. Stimulated by Blackfish's interest in obtaining a current version which would run under LxPup Precise-retro, I decided to investigate. The resulting FileZilla SFS is version 3.9.0.6 and should work in ANY Pup whose Glibc is more current than Lupu 5.2.8. Ran on Ubuntu based Pups from Precise thru Tahr, Slacko 5.7, and Carolina with updated kernel and Glibc. Attempting to start it via terminal in Lupu discloses that required Glibc version is not met.
I know it can locate files on my computer and reach a host on the web and download from it. But I don't know if it can upload to a website as I don't have a current account with a host. Let me know if you were able to use it to upload files to a website. So I'll know whether to delete just the "ALMOST CERTAIN" in the title, or this entire post.
This is not the way I usually build SFSes, and I was surprised that the resulting SFS did anything. But the fact that woof enables the building of Pups using the binaries of “any
