gFTP is a free/open source multithreaded FTP client. It includes both a GUI (which utilizes the GTK+) and a command-line interface. Sites are stored in a hierarchical collection of bookmarks.
The GUI uses a familiar double-paned layout, with the local filesystem in the left pane and the remote filesystem in the right pane. Below these panes resides a transfer queue that shows the real-time status of each queued or active file transfer. Below that is a message log, which displays the text commands and responses between gFTP and the remote server.
gFTP is included with most distributions.
