FTP Utility Recomends Requested

I have been using free utilities to transfer large files however their popularity has saturated them with so much garbage that they are now more of a security concern.
Can anybody recomend an FTP utility? I'm looking at WS_FTP.

I've been using Filezilla for quite a while now with no issues so far - it is regularly updated, is free and Open Source. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ (but their website sucks!).

http://www.coreftp.com/ Core FTP LE works very well for me.

I agree on FileZilla, it is robust & the user interface is very intuitive, especially when using secure sites. Have also used FileZilla server several times in the past.

I have used Core FTP and Filezilla in the past. I'd tend to edge towards Filezilla as opposed to Core... give them a go! At the end of the day, it's down to personal preference and what you're used to.

FileZilla for me. It "just works".
If you have several websites to update, it's the best by far.

Thumbs up FileZilla

Another vote for FileZilla. I've spent the last few weeks moving some very large debug and core files around and it just works.
