My daughter does an online course for which she needs to ftp some files. I haven't ftp-ed in years and need advice on a good (free?) ftp client. Any advice will be sincerely appreciated! Thanks!

In Windows, File Explorer will do the job. Create a shortcut to Explorer, and in the target, specify the url in the usual escapy syntax. Here is an example of one I use:

%SYSTEMROOT%\explorer.exe ftp://username@ftp.blahblah.com

This syntax will ask you for password. You can leave off the username field and it will ask for that as well if you prefer doing it that way.

Now you have a regular explorer window that you can use over an ftp connection...
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...
