Any ftp client will allow you to do this. OSX has the standard 'ftp' command built into it accessible via terminal. Type 'man ftp' for its usage.

I personally use Fetch, a great piece of software and a lot easier to use.

Click here for a fetch link.

I use RBrowserLite you can get it at htp://www.versiontracker.com and it is freeware. I personaly think it is the best free ftp client out there.

Cool

You can also use curl to upload to a ftp server:

curl -T filename -u username:password ftp://somehost.com/somedir/filename

Uh... guys... if you're using Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, all you need to do is use the "Go" menu's "Connect to server..." command, and type in "ftp://whatever.here" and ftp volumes show up on your desktop. Use them like any other disk.

If you mount an ftp volume with "Connect to server" you mount it read-only and you can't upload. At least I can't.
If you loose the connection with the mounted ftp server your mac hangs.
