Actually, if your Macintosh is running the latest version of OS X (or relatively recent), you should have FTP support built-in. If you head into System Preferences and click on the Sharing pane, you'll see the option there. Enable it, and you should be able to FTP into your home directory from a remote computer.

OK, so you need an FTP client. I recommend Cyberduck. There's also Transmit.
