What are some of the command-line windows FTP clients available?

Question

I'm trying to publish web applications automatically using command-line but the default Windows FTP client does not support recursive upload/download for instance.

What are my alternatives to the default Windows FTP client?

"Best" is pretty subjective, you should edit your question to indicate your requirements or metrics for qualifying what *you* consider best. — jscott, May 28 '11 at 14:37

Winscp is a native Microsoft Windows client that has a command line and scripting interface which supports recursive upload and download. Whether it's the best I wouldn't like to say.

It seems that lftp 4.2.3 exists in the cygwin repositories. It's a very powerful command-line ftp client, very scriptable.

I note the "ultimate" ftp client is still unmentioned - there is a Windows port for NcFTP
