FileZilla
FileZilla is a

to bookmarking/cookies included with popular web browsers,

FileZilla is divided into a
series of window panes. Below the icons sits a message log which
displays console-type output showing the commands sent by FileZilla
and the remote server's responses
The file and folder view, displayed under the message log,
provides a graphical interface whereby users with file management to
locate
files they wish to upload and download, using drag and drop.
The transfer queue, displayed along the bottom of the window,
shows the real-time status of each queued or active file transfer.
