Ok, I'm looking for a FTP client to replace WS_FTP (the old version). As much as I like it for being a real FTP client (and not some fancy fully-integrated-coffee-making-wizard), it unfortuantly doesn't support SFTP unless you pay lots of money for the current pro version (and before anyone suggests this, no that's not just FTP tunneled over SSL/H. That would be too easy).

So, what do you use, and what would you recommend as a replacement? I'm happy to try new stuff if it's sufficiently good, but I do rather like the simplicity and It Just Works™ of WS_FTP. Oh, and SFTP support is a must, as is being free (at least for personal/educational).

So there's an interesting little debate going on on a certain forum I frequent.

The gist of it is that member A was banned from the community-run listservers (the official ones having gone 404 a long time ago) for crashing servers. He was originally banned for one month, but that got extended for various reasons to 2 months. The ban officially expired on 30th November last year (2005).

Members B and C run a listserver each. Member C unbanned member A a while back, as per the original agreement. Member B has not, and has expressed no desire to ever do so. There is possible circumstancial evidence of member A continuing to crash servers, however nothing is currently known for certain (and there is also less circumstancial evidence of it being another member).

Given that, who out of members B and C is taking the correct action?
