I am using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5. I am new to this development environment, and previously worked on Windows.

Can anyone recommend an easy to use GUI-based and free FTP client for my platform?

Cyberduck

Also, get friendly with MacUpdate. Most useful Mac software gets indexed there.

If you don't mind the small price, get Transmit. Hands down the best client for OS X.

Version 4 of Transmit is really much better than before. I was using a different FTP client, but returned to Transmit recently. – kiamlaluno Jun 17 '10 at 12:46

FileZilla has versions for Mac, Linux, and Windows. It is also free and open source.

If you want secure file transfers, Fugu is a good GUI version of SFTP/scp.

The Finder opens FTP sites and you can transfer files that way without external software. Cmd + K opens a window to open a server.

True, but: read-only, right? – Arjan May 17 '10 at 18:50
Is it still? This refers to 10.2 (or maybe higher too?). I haven't tested uploads via the Finder. Otherwise I'd go for Transmit, but that's not free... – Henno May 18 '10 at 4:23

Filezilla and Cyberduck are free solutions, though i haven't tried either much

There is also the built in FTP client of the Finder. (command-k then ftp://..)
