i've used cuteFTP, smartFTP, and filezilla. and let me tell ya, there's no other ftp client that i despise more than filezilla! when i used it, i had nothing but major connection issues and sometimes when uploading it would strip the whitespace from my files and append everything to one line. i got nothing but hard times out of it. i really like smartFTP, good feel, great feedback, good options and never had a problem out of it. plus i like that you can unmask passwords, that's really helpful lol
