[Gllug] Still no decent FTP client for Linux?

A tree view of the local and remote filesystems so that you don't have to
cue-up each directory before transfers would be nice. Sure, you can try to
sync files within subdirectories by hitting a top-level directory in gFTP
but all it gives you is a flat listing of everything within, often with
files missing, filenames mis-spelt and just a lot of general flakiness. If I
hit Bookmarks after editing Bookmarks, poof! It's gone. Anther gripe I have
with gFTP is that the same listing produces a different, random mixing of
files and directories on each side of the connection. The parent directory
icon doesn't even appear at the top.

I'd like to be able to do what I can do in Dreamweaver's Site View. Open a
local directory tree, select a bunch of files and hit the upload button.
'Should be simple but all the Linux FTP clients I've seen don't have it.
