I'm using a 30 day demo of Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional at the moment and will eventually need to buy something.

WS_FTP works great but the sound effects are so horrid and irritating I won't buy it for that reason alone. One time I unknowingly had the sound cranked on my computer. When it gave the sound to tell me it finished transfering the file I almost literally had a heart attack.

Anyways, I'm running Win XP but feel free to chime in with Mac programs. Anything free out there?

Internet Explorer works just fine for simple copy/paste stuff. If you need a dedicated program, check out LeechFTP. I believe it is free.

It's Mac only, but if you're ever using one, check out Transmit.

On PC I use Filezilla.
On MacOSX I use Cyberduck.

Both are open source, free downloads (donations are welcomed). I don't know what your specific needs are but they've been fine for me and my work depends on it.

I use good old Fetch for OS X. It's not free, though. I think I've been using it for about 8 years now...
