FTP (file transfer protocol) is definitely the easiest to transfer files over the Internet, but it is certainly not the most secure way to exchange files. There is no much difference between softwares. I could recommend you not just one but many different softwares from FTP category. The main thing is which software would be most appropriate for you and for your needs. Nobody else could tell you that. My advise would be to attempt to try out as much different softwares as you could before you make a decision what software will you buy for yourself. You could do that either by using trial versions or finding people who bought some kind of those softwares. For instance, I use plain old Download accelerator as FTP client. Some people use Windows commander as FTP client. However, when I want to download Rapidshare files I use Rapidshare Grabber etc.
