Best FTP client

What do you guys think is the best FTP client (and why)?

Total commander 32... Never let me down, has a kind of old interface, but unlike smartftp, I don't need to upgrade it to use it, and also it doesn't sometimes, for inexplicable reasons, fail to connect. Plus, it's 'resume' function works flawlessly. What else could you want?

The click and drag of IE...:P...seriously. Just the simplicity of it...
Except Madhatter's FTP does not let me on with IE unfortunatly so I use Filezilla for it.

Best FTP

Folks, I have to remain neutral on this one. I've relied on FileZilla based on Polverone's
recommendations for ease of use. I U2Ued Polverone, when I told him of my intention to
setup an FTP. I had no previous experience whatsoever.

For the time being, I'm happy that it works despite its quirks. I say use whatever
works best for you ! The FTP grows all the time. There aren't enough hours in the day
for me because I can't work with it as much as I want to. Most of my time is spent adding
new users, helping with connection issues, and moving uploaded files. Hell, I haven't
even gotten back to my pet project, scanning in Hydrazine And Its Derivatives because of
lack of time. It's like I can only scan in and proof a few pages at any one session. I'll
keep plugging away !
