Sorry, I'm not familiar at all with kuftp.

Regarding other ftp clients, I've always used gftp just because it's been around for a long time and is quite easy to use.

You can check for it and many other ftp clients here:

FTP Clients | Linux App Finder

Yes, it can. I'm currently running KDE on Arch Linux and use gFTP as my ftp client. It doesn't have a lot of dependencies.

I like Filezilla for a client and use the server on my Vista box as well... on my Linux machines , I'm happy using the 'vsftpd' service found in yast/network services/ftp server.

Just be sure to open a port for your Server (default is port 21 but you can switch that to any port; "ftp://your ip number:your port number" ). Also, you'll need to open ports for the "passive" mode that most modern ftp servers like to use.

Hope this helps!

For KDE, you can use KFTPGrabber and Kasablanca.
