Suggest a FREE FTP client

[Vulc4n]

AbsoluteFTP. It has a 30 day trial period, but you can un-install and re-install to get it working again.

It's only a client though, if you want the server as well try Bullet FTP.

Another vote for Winscp.

Winscp + Notepad ++ is great for editing small remote text files, much better that using vi.

smartFTP is good but it is now a paid software.

I will suggest:

Filezilla: http://filezilla-project.org/

AceFTP

Yes, you do, and its good for a few files or folders. But, once it exceeds that amount, a cmd line is way easier & quicker.

How would you queue up 50+ items in a GUI to download, that are spread all over the place ?

There is no question when it comes to cmd-line & batching ability

Flashget can handle this seamlessly, give it a try m8!

Filezilla FTP client, I am regularly using for many months... Good one.

Say you have a list of 50+ different paths for files, so how do you create the queue for this in flashget ?

Filezilla is OK (dunno whether it's free)
On firefox, FireFTP is an addon that can do everything that any regular client can do, only it's definitely free (I'm using it and I'm quite satisfied )

Do you still use command prompt over windows explorer?

I use FileZilla @ filezilla-project.org

Can Flashget be used to upload to an FTP server as well?
I have used it only for downloading. But you have suggested it as a FTP client. Please confirm if it can upload.

WINSCP is the one from my experience

Notepad++ has got a FTPSynchronize plugin .. You can directly edit remote files using it .. Ever since it got stabliized I've stopped using Vim ..
