It's all a matter of preference, my friend.

I use two FTP clients.

One for the command line (ncftp). Another for the GUI (gFTP).

if you're gonna fxp, pftpfxp (i think that's it, someone else mentioned it..) is cool.

command line i've always just used ftp, ill have to try this ncftp...

gui, gftp..there's also a gui flashfxp clone out there but i think i tried it and it wasnt that great/stable..

I'd recommend a windows client called Filezilla, with wine.

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net

Better than gFTP, for sure

gftp for GUI

sftp for secure ftp via CLI

I use commandline gFTP, and IglooFTP for X.
IglooFTP is not free, but it's a very good one, worth its money.

gftp for a nice GUI

lftp for a serious command-line ftp client.

ncftp is good but doesn't stand a chance against lftp once you realise all lftp can do (FXP, SFTP, not to mention alt 1 2 3 for example to start different sessions, feels like screen), I once were a rabid fan of ncftp then I found lftp

Check out its feature list:

I just wanted to agree with previous posts in this thread about LFTP. You cannot go wrong with that. I was looking for a FlashFXP replacement ever since I switched to Gentoo. Let me tell you LFTP is one serious command line ftp client. Read the man page a couple times and set up your config and this product is beauty.

FYI.. A new major version (3.0.0) was just released today!!!!!

There's a great new FTP client seeing the light of day, it has a bit
of rough edges as it is pretty early in development. But it looks
really promissing, fast and lightweight(If you have KDE installed

)

I prefer gFTP. It is easy to use and gives me all features I need.

I think it's simple, Use :

ncftp in console
gFtp in Gnome
Kbear in KDE (excellent !!)
FileZilla under Windows (excellent too..)

Bye
