If you're running windows then you should know that IE can ftp to and from a 
server with simple click and drag interface.  Directories on the server 
appear as folders and open as windows to and from which you can drag files 
and folders from and to the local folders.  I created a short tutorial for my 
html students (specific to their student accounts, but you can grok the main 
ideas from it).  It appears at:

Sorry it's a non-foss solution, but it's already built in and practical.  On 
the foss-side, Konquerer (KDE interface runs on windows using Cygwin) does it 
too (and most likely more securely).

But then KDE on linux is even better.  I hope this message is now fossified 
enough to compensate for the WinXp suggestion.
