I've never really got on with NEWSie's FTP. It has AFAIK the following
limitations/problems:
 Limited number of files in a directory can be displayed. Can't remember
what the limit is, but it's very low, thus no use for directories with loads
of files (such as the RFC one).
 I've quite often found that all of a sudden NEWSie doesn't respond to
clicking on a file or directory. It just ignores the clicking. This is very
annoying as there is nothing you can do when this occurs.

aFTP OTOH, has no such bugs/limitations. It's display can be tailored to
show the info you want, it's limited only by memory as to how many files it
can show, best of all, it supports drag and drop! Thus I can simply drag the
files I want to upload from my Falcon onto the open FTP server window, and
hey presto :)

aFTP is much better than NEWSie's FTP, IMHO :) Assuming you are running an
operating system that supports all the new protocols etc. (such as MagiC).
If you're using bog standard TOS, then maybe aFTP won't run. I don't know.
