Filezilla is available on the Mac.
Transmit 4 kills CyberDuck, in my opinion. But your Mac as a built in FTP client in Finder. No uploading, but you can download. Just click Go > Connect to Server. Enter your address like this ftp://yourftpserver/ and click Connect.
Good software should cost money. Go buy Transmit 4, you won't regret it.
They have a trial too, so check that out first.

Since you are used to Filezilla, why not use that on your Mac? Also keep in mind, like most "Unix" like systems, there is a command line version of FTP built in that you can use from there terminal.

I'll second Fetch. It's cheap if you choose to pay for it; if you don't you get like a couple weeks with no restrictions, after that the only restriction is a countdown at launch before you can use it (which grows every time you open it, but really it's not that big a deal, and you can uninstall and reinstall to reset it). I think you'll find, after using it for a while, that it's worth the shareware price, but either way it'll get you going immediately. fetchsoftworks.com
I personally use Filezilla. I was used to it on pc and was glad to find the same product on Mac OS.
