As FTP clients go, FileZilla offers all of the basic functionality wrapped up in a no-nonsense user interface. It’s a mature application, well supported and best of all completely free. You can get the source code too, if you’re so inclined.
I’ve been using FileZilla v2 for years and now it’s been rewritten as version 3. The new version stores its site profiles in a different way and the built-in import feature doesn’t allow you to import all of the settings from v2 e.g. folder destinations can’t be imported into v3 using an export from v2. This is a royal pain in the ass as I’ve got dozens of site profiles all nicely set-up with their local and destination folders.
Fortunately, some kind soul known as Nyro, has developed a neat little translation script that will take the v2 export XML file and convert it into a v3 format profiles file. You can use the script directly from their website or download the source code for use on your own server.
