Good ftp server with gui?

I'm looking for an ftp server that's easy to set up for Ubuntu. WITH a gui.

It's just so that I can get files from 1 computer to another. I would consider using NFS or SMB, but the other laptop is running Hardy beta and somehow it doesn't seem to work well with networking. I would downgrade, but I don't have cdrom drive right now or for a month and it doesn't support USB bootup.
 
Just use an sftp client, the only thing required on the host end is an ssh server, which can be installed via 'apt-get install ssh' if you haven't already set it up.
 
SFTP would be the better choice, but if non-secure FTP is a requirement install vsftpd and edit /etc/vsftpd.conf making sure that anonymous access is disabled and regular user access is enabled.
 
Thanks guys. I'll look into later tonight. Will it allow me to navigate throughout the entire system? Aside from the user's home. The user is the only one in Ubuntu, which uses e same user's password for superuser access.
 
SFTP will let you go anywhere you have permission to go by default, vsftp can be setup either way but I think chroot is disabled by default.
