WS_FTP is probably the best free one with the least amount of overhead.

Serv-U is a FTP server, not a client.

WS-FTP LE is probably the standard in free FTP clients, it's been around forever and adheres to the UNIX conventions. There is nothing fancy whatsoever about it, it just works.

You can also use the version of FTP that comes with Windows or Linux systems. Just open up a command prompt, and type in ftp sitename.com enter your username and go.
To change directories cd dirname
To see where you are: pwd
To exit bye
To turn off the prompt: prompt
To upload files mput filename
To download files mget filename
To change to ascii mode: ascii
To change to binary mode: binary
To change local directory: lcd dirname

Pretty easy to use.

You have to upload the pictures to your site. You don't have to put them in a folder but it is highly advised to do so. I usually create a folder called images inside my public_html directory or your web root and link the pictures like so:
<img src="/images/picture.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="picture name">
