curl has completely replaced URL Access in my lexicon. It requires that you learn a bit about shell scripting and probably requires the Developer Tools but you do mention command line tools.
About the only thing that curl is missing is an integrated ability to handle resource forks and finder information but most ftp servers don't understand MACB anyway.
man curl
The UNIX ftp tool also supports a command line argument in the form of a URL. In that mode it does not require any manual input and can be AppleScripted. I find it significantly faster than URL Access or Interarchy. It also supports $HOME/.netrc where you can keep passwords.
man ftp
