Try GnomeFTP.  It shows your password in clear text in the status window at
the bottom of the screen  when it sends it to the remote host :-p  The first
(and only) time I used it, several people were watching over my shoulder, so
I had to go and do a bunch of password changing after that  :-(

I haven't experienced the other problems you've mentioned, though.
Gnome-Englightenment has been very stable for me, although something
consistently leaves a core file in my home directly.  Someone else (Austin?)
mentioned this same effect, and it may be that when the screen saver turns
off, it cores.  Anyone else get this?
