No, testing and stretch is currently the same thing. Changing to 
unstable would let you install filezilla (I would actually recommend 
using sid over testing). It's actually very common that package fall in 
and out of testing, there's absolutely nothing strange about that. 
Packages get removed because of bugs, new versions take time to be 
pushed down from unstable. You were just lucky with filezilla, I guess.

Alternatively, adding it to your sources.list and installing it with 
"apt-get -t unstable install filezilla", then removing it from 
sources.list or giving it low priority in /etc/apt/preferences will do 
the trick (consult this: https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences).

Be careful, both of those actions that I suggested, performed without 
full awareness of what you are doing  might break your system pretty badly.
