It depends on what your requirements are. Are you specifically
looking for a client with a GUI interface? I went looking for
the best line-mode FTP client a couple of years ago, and the best
one I could find was lftp. It is packaged for Debian, and is very
good. It supports advanced features like simultaneous multi-tasking
file transfers, many protocols, including FTPS, FTP, SFTP, HTTP,
HTTPS, and FISH. I'm not sure about SCP though. Of course, I was
specifically *not* looking for a GUI client, since I was installing
it on a serer without X support. If you specifically require a GUI
"point and click, drop and drag" type interface, this will not meet
your requirements. I don't know how it stores the password, either.
For SCP you might want to look at putty-tools. But I've never used it.
gftp-gtk looks like a possibility. It's GUI. But I've never used it
either and I don't know its capabilities.
