If you're running FireFox, there's an FTP plugin called FireFTP that
runs in its own tab within FireFox. It handles TLS and SSL as well as SFTP.

To those who insist on doing direct file uploads (there are situations
where that is still preferable), I would recommend a client that uses
SCP or SFTP, to amend the problems Mark mentions. WinSCP is one
freeware tool that fits the bill in Windows environments.

It's also very important to have the ISP's webserver patched up with
the security fixes. ISPs who neglects this aren't worth anyone's
business.

Not sure why a few don't like them, pretty basic
stuff. I use CA antivirus service on the pc at this time.
While ftp uploading is rather anachronistic (you haven't replaced that
2400 baud modem yet?) I found that most of the time I get a photo of a
cormorant on a goose. But I did get the grey screen of WARNING on two
occasions. It may not be your photo(s) JC, but obviously the site
trips Google's crawlers quite often.
No one should be using FTP in the year 2010. FTP in inherently
unsecure because it passes password data unencrypted(!) and therefore
visible to anyone snooping anywhere between the sender and receiver.
There are known vulnerabilities in some routers which, if unpatched,
allow third parties to "eavesdrop" and grab FTP passwords.
The problem(s) with JCO's site aren't in the images. They're in other
files that have been uploaded by whoever has snooped his password.
