As Miles does, I am also using Core FTP, it works well enough for me and its pretty simple to use, it just resembles the basic funtionality of Microsofts File Explorer (Drag and Drop, Copy and Paste, etc.).

I use FireFTP if I need to upload things like images and other files, I think it is awesome. I used to use AceFTP but that kept freezing so I switched. I also use the command line ftp command but that doesn't offer drag and drop or other things (it's fast though).

For my HTML/CSS/PHP/XML files that I edit in Notepad++, I just use Notepad++'s built-in FTP plugin. On Linux, you can also configure Nautilus (on GNOME) or Konqueror (on KDE) to resemble a graphical FTP explorer that you can drag and drop files in.

I have use a plenty of ftp client since a time now, and finally I decided to use Filezilla, its free, and of all the free-clients that I have tested is the best.
