Will I be able to only upload one file at a time, even when 25 are open
and perhaps even changed?
Just because I changed something does not mean I intend to upload it.

But you wanted a double-click to do the transfer. Can mc initiate the
transfer if you double-click on a file name?

I suggested FileZilla because I use it, mostly on Windows but also a few
times on 10.3, and it seems to do what you want it to do.

Yes, I'm using FileZilla and that's one reason I suggested it.

While FileZilla defaults to ask if you don't configure it beforehand to
just overwrite, it does give you the option to remember the choice you
make when it asks until you close the program.

The only annoyance I have is that deleting files always seems to require
confirmation and there isn't an option to turn off that confirmation.

I was talking about the confirmation.

Indeed unfortunatly. It would have been nice to hear somebody say: I use
jhhkfFTP version 17.0.3 and that is able to do it.

Ok, that was not realy clear to me.

Ok, that was not clear to me. I must also say that because of the name I
always thought it was a plugin for Mozilla/Firefox.

That should be a standard.

It should be standard that that is turned off and standard that clicking
a file deletes it. :-D

Looks good, although when there is a disconnect, Gftp reconnects to the
directory where you were previously, which is nice.
So I will look and see which I think is more important. Direct
connection to the correct directory I was previously in, or not click OK
to overwrite.

Ah, I thought you were on about double-clicking to start the transfer.

I should have made it clearer that that was just what I was saying.

I'd never thought of it that way.

Now that would be just evil :-)

Do you use the reconnect button on the toolbar, which looks like an 'R',
the Server -> Reconnect menu option, or open up a fresh connection? The
first two options reconnect and return to the last used directory. A
fresh connection won't.

No clicking OK to overwrite.

I looked at every button, except that one for some reason. Not my fault.
I was distracted by this: http://www.hollywoodtuna.com/?p=4725
