+ 1 for Fugu and sftp gui, totally great Mac OSX GUI for sftp.


but for plain ol' FTP, (eeeek!):

Dedicated Client Software:
The Mac Finder:
all drag-n-drop n' such...
 From the finder, Controll-K, and then enter the ftp server url...
(noteworthy, this works great across an SSH tunnel for when you 
actually encounter some FTP resource in the wild...)
You can also flip the passive/active switch in the system preferences, 
Network Pane, in the 'Proxies' tab for a given interface.

An old Mac classic that lives on:

Seems like all GUI FTP clients for a mac cost nowadays, but nobody 
yells about that since ftp is free from the shell and the finder...
