Thank you all for your comments. I guess I use Cyberduck in a  
relatively light way. I just have folders I keep locally, and folders  
on the server, so when I am about to start work on a project I ask  
Cyberduck to synchronize the two folders, then I disconnect, then I  
edit the local copy, and then I ask it to synchronize again. If on  
the other hand I want to edit just one file, I double click on it.  
But I've never had a connection time out. (using sftp)
So for my needs it has worked just fine, and it's free, and the  
source code is available.
I can see though that someone using FTP heavily would have more  
requirements.
