I've found that gftp is a fairly good *nix client (I run it on Debian but don't know how portable it is). Graphical etc. so nice and easy to use. Seems quite stable too. For Windows, the ssh client from www.ssh.com is the best I've found. Don't know if free for university use though. If you want a free client, WinSCP is best I've used, though it's far more buggy than the aforementioned.
