fancy stuff.
Ubqtous: they have made big strides in the file synch feature. It seems
pretty well bulletproof now, so long as you pay attention to source/dest
folders. FTPV tries to remember the last pairing used with your source
and that's not always what you want.
About synchs: I love FTPV's multithread capability: tell FTPV to synch a
folder tree using six threads. Its like having 6 ftp clients open all
at once; busily sending and receiving all at once. It can also do this
outside of synch. Initiate an operation, let it run, nav somewhere else
and do something else. All ops will run concurrently. Not sure if this
is a unique feature.
I use the scheduler to synch big web file areas (thousands of folders,
tens of thousands of files, running daily; several jobs again running
concurrently). Formerly had bugs doing jobs that large but is solid in
v10.x
And it does SFTP with encrypted pwds really well.

I second Massimo's FTP Voyager nomination. Though I sometimes have
trouble when using the synchronize feature on deeply nested
directories, it is a great feature to have. I'm still using v8.0, so
they may have beefed up synchronization since then (they're up to 10.0
now).
SmartFTP works well (that's what I use at home) and I've heard good
things about Filezilla too.
