FileZilla is an excellent Windows ftp/sftp client, I could not agree more. The
Linux version is a little ugly and not quite ready yet though. Give it time and
it will be good I'm sure.
I used KBear at one point, it was pretty and worked well but not very stable,
and I think it's come out of Debian sid as it's not very active upstream, so
I expect other distros will drop it too.
Konqueror supports sftp directly from within the filemanager interface which
works quite well. Should I need a GUI SFTP tool I'll probably use that for the
moment.
gftp looks nice if you are a GNOME user, I've not used it so I can't comment.
Supports various protocols including ftp and sftp.
Another nice looking tool is kasablanca which is in Debian Etch/Sid and other
modern version of other distros I presume, BUT it does ftp-ssl not sFTP as
far as I can tell.
