Best FTP client

Sick of using my old version of WS_FTP LE, and sick of having to reconnect and browse to my directory again every time the connection times out, so i'm asking simply --- What's the best FTP client lately? Having a keep-alive or easy (and silent) reconnect function is a must. Thanks.

I didn't like SmartFTP. CuteFTP isn't bad but I still think WS_FTP is the best.

I've moved over to FileZilla. Although I think FlashFXP is a bit better, I'd rather be using an Open Source program.

FlashFXP is the best by far that I've used.

Is FileZilla a secure FTP client?

These are my 2 picks as well. I'm on SmartFTP right now but probably moving back to FileZilla, because Smart's queue system is wierd.

cuteFTP forgot which version, i've got some old old ones, pre ver 2
and G6 as a server, which reminds me, i should set one up again..

Best FTP Server I've ever used is zFTP. Really friendly interface but very powerful in terms of user accounts, setting up groups and resources.

i'll check it out when i get out Foo, but G6 is also nub friendly, explains the gig o shit people uploaded to my server years ago in the days of zeraw sites teehee

i use cuteftp... the layout has some redundant shit in the new ones i think, but the older ones are pretty straight forward.
