From now on its Core FTP LE for me .....why ? Lets see

I found Core FTP Lite Edition easy and intuitive to use. It was fast, and the visual interface is very straight forward. It is free for windows software (platform) but you can purchase the professional edition for more advanced features.
It can be downloaded on their site: http://www.coreftp.com/download.html
The latest version is 2.1 updated on March 6th 2008. The file size is 3389 KB and takes about 20 minutes on dialup. I had no problems installing but if you have issues go to their forums for answers http://www.coreftp.com/forums/
The great thing is that there are no popup ads, advertising or spyware and you are never asked or reminded to register. Thank goodness. I liked that the site manager box appears each time you open the programme with an easy connection arrow. The full drag and drop support and the overwrite mode if you are updating a file with the same name are great features.
