On my Windows 7 PC, I just use Windows Explorer. If you create a Windows shortcut to an FTP site like Asimov <ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/>, Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) will open it for you to peruse (if you are connected to the internet). Then you can copy, drag, or drop, any file or folder from that site to a folder on you PC.

P.S. I opened this Topic to allow people with experience to help people without experience.

Although I don't seem to need FTP clients as much as I did in the past, when I do I use FileZilla on Windows.
The reason I don't need an FTP client so much is that I make local mirrors of the FTP sites I'm interested in (using HTTrack). Then I can search/browse at my leisure. ;-)
Cheers,
Mike

My personal preference is FileZilla. Supports Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Besides the basic FTP capabilities, it also can handle secured FTP, among other types of file transfer protocols. And, it is constantly being updated.

Under the hood it's the same.
I sometimes use Filezilla, sometimes Seamonkey, and sometimes NCFTP.

Please, also add:
How you access FTP sites using Apple II computers?
Or, if you just use Apple Disk/File Transfers to get things from other OSes onto your Apple IIs?
And:
Does anybody use Torrents for FTP access?

On the IIgs side, you can use gwftp or BSD's ftp from GNO/ME.
Or the recently released SOS FTP NDA.
