First off anytime you are looking for any type of software look in the Software, Applications forum. There is a thread at the top that has a link to TONS of software that is recommend by fellow users.

With that being said. I would personally checkout SmartFtp. It has all the features of the ftp clients that cost money but is completely free and they keep the software updated.

I used Leech FTP for awhile....

Kinda @$$ in the GUI aspect, but it works for what ya need it for.

Server or client software?

server:

Serv-U (easiest to configure and administer; unfortunately costs money)
WarFTP (free and very powerful; however its a pain in the ass trying to configure user security - maybe I'm just an idiot)
IIS 5.0 FTP

client:

CuteFTP
SmartFTP
WS_FTP
Internet Explorer

There are plenty others. These are the only ones I've had experience with.

WS_FTP is not free. WS_FTP_LE (limited edition) is free. It's limited on what you can do. It's limited on the GUI (and looks FUGLY compuared to SmartFTP).

SmartFTP is MUCH better in every aspect of the use of FTP programs than WS_FTP_LE.

I use LeechFTP personally, but may switch soon as the abandonware fact sets in and the existing bugs start to annoy me more.

Another vote for Smart FTP, I would also check out FTP Explorer.

I used to use it, but you can't download it anymore, AFAIK.
