FTP software is a necessory tool for everyone who connects to a server to exchange files .Some servers may provide services for uploading files but it is not par with a software dedicated for file transfer.According my experience the best FTP software is Filezilla .This is an opensource software with GNU licence which makes it really trustworthy .It is also free from all sorts of copyright issues which may be bundled with others.
