Let's say I want to connect my Mac to a file server somewhere through FTP. Which program do I use?
 
You can also do it through the Finder using Apple + K but it is not perfect.

Terminal and ftp command is useable.
 
the ma equivalent to ftp is... ftp! in the finder, click Command + K, and type the name of the ftp server (ftp://pretendserver.com and click go. you can also use mozilla firefox if you're looking a an ftp client embedded in a browser.
 
FTP is a standard the same way HTTP is a standard. There are plenty of Mac FTP clients out there.

The ones that are typically mentioned (and have already been mentioned in this thread) are Cyberduck and Transmit.

One that I haven't seen mentioned yet (and that isn't out yet, but looks quite promising) is Flow.
