I did a review of a client called CoreFTP. I was impressed with it. Check it out at:

If you use Firefox there is a ftp client for it that is easy to use.
Fireftp

FileZilla is powerful Open Source FTP/SFTP client with many features. It includes a site manager to store all your connection details and logins as well as an Explorer style interface that shows the local and remote folders and can be customized independently. The program offers support for firewalls and proxy connections as well as SSL and Kerberos GSS security. Additional features include keep alive, auto ascii/binary transfer, download queue, manual transfers, raw FTP commands and more. A nice program for beginners and advanced user alike.

Since you are using Windows, IE works as a basic FTP client. Just enter the address like so:
ftp://ip_address_or_domain_name.com

Great replies, guys, thanks a whole bunch - and i didn't know that about IE either.

I'll give them each a test and thanks again for narrowing down the options for me.

Best regards.

Used to use WS_FTP back when it was free. Currently use WinSCP.
