I'm surprised SmartFTP hasn't been mentioned in this topic. I thought it would have been. I use SmartFTP Client. It was one of two FTP Clients that some software I was installing for the first time recommended. Been using it ever since. I have tried others like Filezilla(the other recommended FTP program), but SmartFTP, in my opinion, is the best. Though, I am slightly biased.

I've been using CoreFTP, it's a pretty nice one. There's a free one and a paid one, so naturally I just use the free version

well, i tend to actually stay clear of ftp programs. i tried using filezilla once (this was while i was with my horrible old host), and for some reason all the files it uploaded to my website were corrupt.
just like etycto, i then began using net2ftp, an online ftp client. it works very well, and has an organised look just as etycto said. it has everything other ftp clients offer, and it is really easy to use. anything you would ever want to do to your files is just a click of a button away. it even has an option to move files to ANOTHER of your websites! here are some of its features: QUOTE * Navigate the FTP server for webmasters, they even allow you to download their entire script, without having to link back to them or anything for FREE! i now use their script on my site, and surprisingly it works even faster than on their site (must be due to the number of people using the script on their site at a time). here are some of the features of this script for webmasters:Once you have logged in, you can browse from directory to directory and see all the subdirectories and files. * Upload files There are 3 different ways to upload files: the standard upload form, the upload-and-unzip functionality, and the Java Applet. * Download files Click on a filename to quickly download one file. Select multiple files and click on Download; the selected files will be downloaded in a zip archive. * Zip files ... and save the zip archive on the FTP server, or email it to someone. * Unzip files Different formats are supported: .zip, .tar, .tgz and .gz. * Install software Choose from a list of popular applications (PHP required on the target server). * Copy, move and delete Directories are handled recursively, meaning that their content (subdirectories and files) will also be copied, moved or deleted. * Copy or move to a 2nd FTP server Handy to import files to your FTP server, or to export files from your FTP server to another FTP server. * Rename and chmod Chmod handles directories recursively. * View code with syntax highlighting PHP functions are linked to the documentation on php.net. * Plain text editor Edit text right from your browser; every time you save the changes the new file is transferred to the FTP server. * HTML editors Edit HTML a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) form; there are 2 different editors to choose from (FCKEditor and TinyMCE). * Code editor Edit HTML and PHP in an editor with syntax highlighting (CodePress). * Search for words or phrases Filter out files based on the filename, last modification time and filesize. * Calculate size Calculate the size of directories and files. QUOTE * Safe Mode net2ftp works perfectly under safemode. * MySQL database ... is optional. A MySQL database is only needed for logging, and for the Daily Limit (see below). * Authorizations Allow the users to connect to all FTP servers, or to only a predefined list of FTP servers. The input box on the login page will change accordingly. * Logging Activate or deactivate 3 kinds of logging: pages requested, logins and errors. * Daily Limit Restrict each user's daily data transfer volume and script execution time. Once a user reaches the daily consumption limit, he will still be able to browse FTP servers, but the transfer of data to/from the server will be blocked. * Large File Limit Files bigger than this limit can't be downloaded/uploaded/copied/etc but can still be renamed/deleted/chmodded. * Templates Change the layout as you want using the template files. * Integration in other PHP applications net2ftp can easily be integrated in other PHP applications. Modules for Mambo, Drupal and Xoops are provided in the zip file. i would highly recommend giving net2ftp a go, for me it is definitely the best ftp client ever.

I use FileZilla 3, but fireFTP sounds good. Maybe I'll download and try that...

Like many above me, I also use FileZilla. It has a nice, simple interface, and allows for drag and drop copying/file transfer..
I haven't really tried anything else, but the need to try any other FTP software hasn't arisen yet. |

I actually use SmartFTP. Not the best, but it works. Why do I use that one? I guess it was because it was the first one I ever downloaded, and the first one someone recommended to me.

filezilla is the best one for me mainly cos im a huge supporter of Open Source software so i was biased to go with it in the first place but its really good to use.
