I like Filezilla as well. Actually I usually use WinSCP for encrypted
transfers, but inevitably there are situations that require an FTP
client.

About 6 months ago I downloaded the trial of WSFTP to provide some
support to a client using it. To my dismay, it wouldn't display
filenames that started with a '.', commonly used in site design as
.htaccess files to modify Apache's configuration on  a per-directory
basis. That killed it for me.
