    Firefox has good support for FTP downloading. If you want to do FTP uploading with Firefox, you'll need an extension.

    eg:
    Anonymous FTP:
    ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/

    User authenticated FTP:
    ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.net/

    filezilla would be my recommendation as an ftp client. You can Anonymously download from most ftp but sometimes the people behind the ftp downloads will require a username and password to download.

    I find flashfxp to be the best for ftp's, pretty easy to get used to too.
