When FileZilla started doing the adware thing years ago, I switched to WinSCP on Windows and never looked back. I was so pissed at FileZilla that I stopped using it on Linux even though their Linux builds didn't have any adware. gFTP is good enough for most servers, and recent versions fixed a lot of long standing bugs. On Mac it's Cyberduck all the way.

For mac I had a paid FTP client called YummyFTP, the app was superb, however the developer passed away and the app stayed on 32 bits

In the golden age of FTP there are plenty of great proprietary clients. Of of my mind I can think of (for Windows) FlashFXP, FTPRush, CuteFTP, SmartFTP, and so on.

I'm spoiled with Transmit :)

Transmit is good too, although I really liked the Scheduling function YummyFTP had. It was great for setting a large download to 2AM when the DSL network wasn't overloaded. Wish Transmit would add that feature. I suppose it can be done with Automator but it's not as nice as built in.

There's also Cyberduck for Windows.
