I have used WS_FTP for years, it never fails.
Take a visit to http://www.download.com and type it in.

Consider that seconded. We use filezilla here exclusively, and it's never let us down. Even has sftp support for secure transfers..

I use SmartFTP. My only complaint is that after 90 days it warns you that you haven't updated it, and then once I update it, I still get that warning message. But other than that, it kicks butt.

I've always had good luck with Seagull FTP, you have to register on their site to activate it, but it doesn't cost anything.

WS_FTP is a great program:

http://www.ftpplanet.com/download.htm

has both the free version, as well as the 30 day trial of WS_FTP Pro.

Not pretty, but a good little workhorse.

I'll put my vote in for WS_FTP.
I've been using it for quite a while. Easy interface.

why not use winscp2? I know it's not ftp, but it's secure :)

anyways, I say ncftp all the way and I raise by $10!

WS_FTP Pro 8 compared to WS_FTP LE... WOW.. what a nice bit of software. Less buggy than version 7 too.

ws_ftp is a great program. I use the pro version and have done for years. I like it immensely. :)

In windows i use SmartFTP, OSX i use rbrowser lite and the command line, linux i use ncftp.

There are some decent cross platform java ftp clients too, check sourceforge.

I decided to give FileZilla a try.. and I'm very pleased with it so far. I've only used it for a couple of hours though. :)
