It wouldn't suprise me. I'm a gnome user at the moment, so I tend to keep
away from KDE apps.

Might I suggest using firefox with FireFTP? It is very easy to use, but of
course that depends on you being a firefox user... If so, it's available
in the firefox repositories online at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684

If possible, however, it is recommended that you use something more secure
than just FTP. I believe FTP sends passwords unencrypted over the internet
- WinSCP is available for windows, and it works ok under the latest wine
builds...

If neither of those are suitable for you, I've found a good list at

Hope that helps!
