lftp is a shell-like command line ftp client. The main two advantages over other ftp clients are reliability and ability to perform tasks in the background. It will reconnect and reget the file being transferred if the connection broke. You can start a transfer in background and continue browsing on the ftp site. It does this all in one process. When you have started background jobs and feel you are done, you can just exit lftp and it automatically moves to nohup mode and completes the transfers. It has also such nice features as reput and mirror.

sFTP

sFTP is a screen-oriented FTP client, based on the curses library. It establishes a session to the FTP server, and displays the contents of the directory on the FTP server in a window. Another window shows the contents of the current directory, locally. You can transfer files simply by moving the cursor in the scrollable list until it is on top of the file, then hitting enter.
