While I liked and used FileZilla just several months ago, I discovered that most Linux distributions come with ftp and sftp programs, and it's very easy to use them, easy as navigating your system through command line.

With sftp you connect with "sftp -P [port] [ip address]", and navigation is very intuitive.

cd changes directory on server, lcd changes directory on local machine

Same with ls/lls (first lists directory on server, latter on local machine).

get downloads files, put uploads them, add -r option for folders, and that's pretty much it. exit for exit of course lol

lftp is -far- superior to sftp, you should check it out if you do a lot of scp/sftp/ftp.
