Yafc is yet another FTP client which features a directory cache, remote filename completion, aliases, colorized ls, recursive get/put/ls/rm, nohup mode transfers, tagging (queueing), multiple connections, proxy support, and more. It has also support for Kerberos authentication and SSH2 (sftp).

Here are some key features of "yafc":
cached directory listings
extensive tab completion
aliases
colored ls (ie, ls --color, uses $LS_COLORS like GNU ls)
automatic reconnect on timed out connections
recursive get/put/fxp/ls/rm
nohup mode transfers
multiple connections open simultaneously
tagging (queueing)
very configurable
autologin and bookmarks
automagically enters nohup-mode when SIGHUP received (in get and put)
redirection to local command or file
proxy support
Kerberos support (version 4 and 5, heimdal, kth-krb or MIT)
SSH2 support (sftp)
it's free!
