Remko: It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you simply want to download or upload files from an existing source, then an FTP Client is what you want, and there are several good free ones. I use FileZilla and it is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Another Windows option is WS_FTP, and other Mac options are Fetch and CyberDuck.
On the other hand, if you want to set up a file repository to make files available remotely to yourself or others, then you need a FTP Server, and there are also several good free ones. Again, FileZilla offers a good product, although it runs only on Windows. Other options for Mac or Linux are ProFTPd or PureFTPd.
