acceptable if you can save a significant amount of time by having
someone knowledgable answer a question that would take significant
time to research.

The general answer to your question is that nearly all network
utilities do.

To clarify: I cheerfully use a GUI do my very limited amount of FTP. I
asked the original question as a rhetorical question, just to give the OP
an idea that might be useful *to him* (like he needed my help!).

For my own use, I'm more than willing to forget the CLI version of FTP,
until & unless the need to use it comes up again.
