Try WS_FTP Pro.  The latest versions can connect to the server via FTP, FTP-
SSL, and even SSH.  I prefer SSH, since it's completely encrypted, can use
compression, etc.  All Red Hat boxes that I've set up with SSH work with it.

It does have it's drawbacks, though.  Earlier versions, like 6.x, were very
solid (but lacked the SSH component), clean setups.  Newer versions are
starting to get a little hokey, adding somewhat frilly features like
thumbnailing (both local and remote), etc.  But for the most part, the
product is very stable and well written.
