gFTP wins again
Back when I was using Ubuntu, I discovered that the best FTP program was gFTP. But since I've switched to Kubuntu, I've discovered that there are a lot of fantastic programs for KDE that don't exist for Gnome. Ironically, though, I've also discovered that some of the best programs DO exist for Gnome. For example, Gimp, GQView, and gFTP. There are a lot of FTP programs for linux, including several that are only for KDE. But none of them are better than gFTP.
The only possible exception is Konqueror.
Konqueror is kind of a Swiss Army Knife; it does everything. You can log on to an ftp web site and it will display it as if it was a local folder. (Yes, MS Explorer does the same thing, but Konqueror does it with style and grace.) You can then click on a file and it will open it, just as if it was a local file. You can edit the file, and save it, and it will automatically upload the updated version to the ftp site. This is incredibly useful when you're editing a web page; it lets you view the results in realtime!
But for large numbers of files, like Matt & Sarah's wedding gallery, nothing beats gFTP.
