Roland, this isn't the answer that you want to hear but we no longer allow FTP access to our servers because of the security issue. Our server was hacked awhile back by an FTP breach.

Our solution. We do telnet access with SSH. AND there is a great new client that works under Windows that gives a nice "Norton (Midnight) Commander" style interface that looks like Classic WS_FTP. It is...

    WinSCP is freeware SCP (Secure CoPy) client for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP using SSH (Secure SHell). Its main function is safe copying files between local and remote computer. Beyond this basic function, WinSCP manages some other actions with files.

Available from: winscp.vse.cz

There is also a Mac solution using SCP under SSH.
