I had used kftp, from time to time, if I encountered significant
problems with gftp, but (I think from memory) found filezilla easier
to use than kftp, but, as previously stated, my preference is for
gftp.
As with gftp, I do not know whether kftp is included with Debian 7.
Much of what worked in Debian 6 and before, appears to have gone from Debian 7.
