Good FTP client for Linux

Hi everyone,

I'm in search for a good FTP client for Linux that will reliably
transfer an entire directory structure to the remote site. In Windows
I live by Filezilla, but this is only for Windows. My server for
whatever reason disconnects from time to time, and using either gftp
or ncftpput/get I always get bumped off halfway through transfer. I
need a good client that'll keep reconnecting and transfering when
connection is lost.

What prompted this question is last night on my Slackware box, I was
trying to upload via FTP a gallery program, and with a total of 500+
files and many sub-directories, it kept dropping off with gftp and
ncftpput. I never could get it all uploaded. Today at work, I used
Filezilla and in about 30 seconds I was done. I'm no Windows fan, and
I only use Linux at home... but I need an FTP client that'll be rock
solid on Linux - something similar to Filezilla.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Alex.
