I need a good FTP program to use on my PC. I'm using Cyberduck on my Macs (and love it), but I don't really know what's cool anymore in the Windows world. I'd mostly be using it to transfer stuff to an erstwhile media, er, console (which may include a letter between W and Y.) This device resides on the friendly side of the firewall on my LAN if that makes any difference.

Cheap is good, free is better. I'm presently using FTP Surfer and, well, it's getting the job done, but I wonder whether there isn't something far cooler...

I generally use a hacked copy of Bulletproof FTP that dates from about 1999. But on some PCs at work which just can't seem to handle FTP sessions in Explorer (it's totally random, settings are the same as other PCs, they just can't do it, I haven't been able to figure out why) I've installed Filezilla which works and seems reasonably idiot-proof.

Filezilla for me. I especially like the portable version.
