I've installed Filezilla an FTP client via add/remove applications. Currently there's an upgrade available and it says to use package manager to upgrade, however, when I go to Synaptic Package manager and right click on Filezilla's line the option for Upgrade is grayed out.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to uninstall and re-install it?

Thanks.

You have to remove all third parties from your /etc/apt/sources.list
Including the Medibuntu folder if you have it. Lastly, make sure your OS is fully updated before upgrade. I'd prefer a clean install.

No, he is referring to updating FileZilla.

To do this, click the update icon in the notification bar. This is in the upper right hand corner.

If it is grayed out, then there is a reason that the update cannot be safely installed at the moment. Usually, this happens when there are updated dependencies needed, but the dependencies are not yet ready. Wait for a while, then check again.
