FTP Explorer and FileZilla are both free.  Watch out for FileZilla
Version 3, though, you don't want that one, you want the earlier
Version 2 because in Version 3 they changed the whole layout and
accessibility thing and they broke it bad.

FileZilla also has another annoying problem, and the reason it's
annoying is because not everybody (including the developers)
experiences it.  The problem is that for some reason, entire folders
of files cannot be uploaded for certain users.  It's not a protection
or permissions problem, since other clients (like FTP Voyager) do it
right, but the FileZilla folks can't figure it out!

On the pay side, the two most popular and accessible are FTP Voyager
from Rhinosoft, and CuteFTP from Globalscape.  Some folks have also
had great success with Flash FXP and claim it's more stable than the
other two.  While sticking to the RFC like glue, they all do basically
the same things, but Voyager, when talking to its companion product
Serf-U, extends the FTP command set, yielding such features as
resuming broken-link downloads, which the standard RFC does not
support.  If you're going to be talking to a Serv-U a lot, Voyager's
the one to get.  If not, FieZilla or FTP Explorer will do, just watch
out for that folder upload problem.

Ipswitch has a very nice client out, called WS-FTP, whic many sighted
people have tried to get me to use, but its accessibility leaves a lot
to be desired.  For instance, it displays both side of the connection
on the screen just like the others do, but all the movement within and
between these panels must be done with the mouse.  TAB doesn't move
you, arrows don't change anything, it's all mouse-bound.  I've never
seen a program like it.  Good, they say; accessible, not.
