It's momentarily only available for Leopard. Latest available version for Tiger was 3.6.x

I have managed to compile the 3.7.0.1 on Tiger, but didn't manage to get back with the project owner to get it publicly available. I'll have a go at 3.8.0.1 in the coming days.

This is only for Leopard now, sadly...what's the last Tiger compatible version?

Cyberduck is more pretty, but is becoming more and more unreliable.
After the last Cyberduck update I have to re-input all my connection data, and the duck works even more unreliable.
So I switched to FileZilla, which is ugly - but works fine, which is most important!!

Butt ugly. The 'intuitive interface' bit in the description is a flat out lie. But it works like no other. It's fast and will connect to anything you can throw at it. If nothing else works, this will. It's got a great engine under the hood but it's a wonder it doesn't just drop out of the frame.

Wooh, U-G-L-Y!

If there ever was an argument against cross-platform GUI toolkits, here it is. WxWidgets really doesn't fit well with Aqua. Trolltech's Qt Toolkit would have been a bit better, albeit it also stinks of that win32 look 'n feel.

With that said, Filezilla has a mature codebase, and surely is welcomed competition, against the likes of Cyberduck and commercial alternatives. It's got a face even its mother couldn't love, but it works, and it's free/libre (GPL). Going from Windows-only to cross-platform is always a winning move for eveyone.

I just downloaded it and it feels better than cyberduck but it is butt ugly. hopefully they make the user interface more mac-like.

i loved this feature packed, highly configurable ftp client on my windows box and i am very much looking forward to seeing it become more stable for mac. it is also the only free & open source ftp client with a multi-pane view [not just two] available on this platform. kudos to the filezilla devs!

Me too.
The first beta wasn't really different than a raw porting from Win but now it is going to be improved. :)

Oops, guess you've just got to know where to look. Wish I hadn't been sarcastic now.

from the FileZilla FAQ page (http://filezilla-project.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ):

"What is "FileZilla 3" seen on the changelog page?

Version 3 is a major redesign of the code base that was started in early 2004 and is still unfinished, but beta versions for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS X are available already. You can safely ignore it unless you are a brave user or a developer."

... personally, i'm excited. :)
