In fact, I’m a fan of Coda, [also by Panic]. It’s only useful if you really know your code, though. It doesn’t write it for you [wysiwyg].

And I know you didn’t ask, but here goes…
I use CSSEdit for my CSS. :)
I really like and use Flow.
It’s sleek, small, and fast.
I used to like Cyberduck, but if I left it open for several hours it would freeze and crash. The memory leaks were too high. And drag & drop wasn’t implemented [not sure how it is now].
I second Cyberduck. Drag & Drop is now implemented.
Another vote for Transmit.
I don’t use FTP. It’s not secure. Make sure the client you choose supports SSH file transfer protocol. Or you might even scp from the command line.
Good news is that Cyberduck, Transmit, and others do support the secure protocols.
re: robmandu’s comment: How about SFTP? Is that the same as SSH, or? (and yes, I could google it that easy, but for some reason I find myself suffering from such a terribly lazy situation)
++ for Transmit.
Honestly, since I started using Coda, I almost never have to deal with FTPing manually, but when I do, I sure am glad to crack open Transmit. It costs and it’s probably not a totally necessary cost, but it is quite a lovely application. On my development PC I’m using FileZilla and only other S/FTP client for Windows that I’ve liked is WinSCP, and neither comes close to anything I’ve used on Mac.
I always use Transmit when deploying the Subversion release export.
