Not a package but FilleZilla is developed by Tim Kosse for over 20 years. I know that there are a lot of other FTP-Clients but FilleZilla is my favorite. Easy to use and very very stable. There is a pro version sure, but most of the time the regular one does the job. My company throws thousands of dollars a month at Adobe, Microsoft and others. But they would never even think about giving anything to Tim Kosse and others, even though I've probably saved days of work with tools like this.
My company's anti-malware started triggering on filezilla's installer a few years ago because they started packaging apparently sketchy ads in it. Dunno if that's still the case or not. I ended up switching to WinSCP instead. (Which I believe is actually another example of just one or two guys running that show too.)
