What's a decent free FTP program? Not a 30-day trial thing but one that I can download and use regularly.

If you use windows, you can just use ftp (start -> run -> ftp). It's easy to use, but you'll have to work with console commands. If you don't like that, here's a simple way to do it: open two windows explorers. With one of them, browse your own computer. In the other one, type ftp://<ip address of your goal> and you'll see the other computer just like your own. Then you can browse the goal computer with the windows explorer, delete things, and so on. To download or upload things, you can drag & drop them between the windows explorers.

If you use linux, I recommend ncftp, that's a nice program

The FileZilla client. FileZilla - The free FTP solution

Should work on Windows/Linux.

I also primarily use FileZilla.

However, another good free one is Smart FTP:
SmartFTP - Download

FileZilla is tops. Fast and light.

I use FireFTP, its an Extension for Mozilla Firefox and the FTP opens up in its own tab right inside the browser, and you can add a button to your toolbar.
