You can apply for the free educational password at http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/Licensing/edustore.application.html
 
 
Or WSFTP, for Windows:

[[Detailed instructions for setting up Fetch]] are available.

''If'' (and only if) you're on campus, you can also connect to your web directory on the network and just deal with the files directly, as if they were on some other disk drive connected to your machine.
