Hello Everyone,

FlashFXP tends to be my favorite, as I've been using it for years now, and I guess I'm just used to it. Filezilla is a decent open-source client. I really recommend SmartFTP, since its a really good and full-featured client, and its also free.

Staff-FTP is a great alternative to FlashFXP. Plus, the buttons are skinnable.

There's the FTP client that can be found on any OS with a command-line...

A few grabbed at random off of a portage database search:

At least one of these (ncftp) also has a Windows port.

And, as Kalium referred to, most operating system packages already have a command-line FTP client built in, which works just fine.
