ftp made easy with FileZilla

Why did I start using FileZilla than the normal command line ftp :

1. Can send/receive an entire directory to/from server; which is not possible in command-line. This may be "the" reason to use filezilla; but there are many more.
2. It opens up multiple connections to the server and helps in downloading of 10 or so files at the same time.
3. It has a transfer queue; with drag and drop facilities.
4. Configurable transfer speed limits.

P.S. Windows users don't worry; just like most open-source projects FileZilla is also available for windows.
