is there a graphical ftp client (like filezilla) buried amongst my os that i cannot find or do i have to download one. i have searched my program menu and haven't found one. or am i going to have to learn to do this from cli?

As bernard mentioned there's gFTP or KBear. I haven't used either in a few years and I do FTP pretty much every day. KBear had some real issues and hasn't been maintained AFAIK.
I simply use Konqueror. It will save my passwords and allow all the things I need. I just open a new tab from the folder I'm working with and then use the ftp://username@ftp.mydomain.tld
For example, if I were admin at perfectreign.com, I'd use ftp://admin@ftp.perfectreign.com
It would then ask for my password (which is usually saved) and then open the ftp. I can then add the location as a bookmark or in the Network locations tab.
I've become so accustomed to Konqueror as FTP client (thanks to someone on this list) that I cringe at work when I'm forced to "downgrade" to WSFTP or some other inferior product.
thanks for all of the great suggestions that i have received. i now have an aesenal to "hack" around with until i find what works best for me. right now i'll start with fireftp. your a great group, and many thanks from this linux newbie. i love it! dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.
