Cyberduck broke every website I uploaded files to.
Do you know what (specifically) the duck did? That seems odd to me. Some sort of permissions issue?
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I have no clue. No other FTP program I've used has ever had this problem, and honestly, Cyberduck wasn't worth the effort to figure it out.
Well, the duck let me upload a JPG of Paul Walker just fine, so we're on speaking terms for the nonce.
I'm a fan of Transmit.Me too. Fetch, if I have to though.
I use WS_FTP for Windows. The freeware version does everything I need it to do.
I use CoffeeCup DirectFTP at home. At work we don't have dedicated FTP software, we just use IE. Works well enough, given that most of our clients that we need to FTP with aren't very sophisticated.
Yeah, I've never found a free GUI FTP client on OS X that serves me well. Cyberduck works, sort of, but not very well, and most others cost (though not too much, and if I did lots of ftp work I'd buy Transmit in a second).
The built-in ftp program for OS X has remote tab completion, though, so I'm okay using it most of the time. And I've also installed ncftp on the command line, which is even better (local AND remote tab completion! Easy to save bookmarks to various sites! And so forth!)
ncftp's not bad, although I've only used it in Linux. I quite liked it.
Yeah, when I first realized that I could install a command-line program for ftp that had many useful features was a great day for me.
Now, of course, I open up my Terminal once a week at the most (and that's usually just to run "cal" because i'm too lazy to open a GUI calendar program. If I install Tiger on this laptop, the dashboard calendar will remove even that need.) But once, I was truly a geek. Once.
I did not know IE had its own FTP business. Just, you type ftp.blahblah.com into the URL space?
To answer the question for the record, the syntax is
ftp://ftp.blahblah.com
