However I don't use it because I prefer the more minimalist GUI design of gftp, but ymmv. If I'm shifting files over the SSH protocol I use scp and sftp from the command line, with a preference for scp if I'm moving one or two files. If I'm moving a directory-full, gftp is my weapon of choice. One that isn't mentioned in your referenced URL is wget, which does a slightly different job to curl. curl transfers the list of files you give it while wget is optimised for pulling down web pages together with all images, subordinate web pages, etc. that the target page references.
