In search of ... opinions/recommendations, ftp diff software

Folk,

I'm looking for ftp diff software.  So far, I've found DiffVue-$20.00, Diff Commander-$29.00, Beyond Compare-$30.00, and all prices seem to be very low end, such that if I'm going to use the software to check more than one (1) site, I need to buy multiple licenses.  Nothing showed up at freecode.com, at least, nothing that I could recognize (their descriptions are not always as comprehensive as they might be  ;D).

That being the case, anyone here have any recommendations?

I think you're confusing checking FTP sites with a "site license" which is normally purchased to cover a large amount of license for a corporate site.  In other words, the $30 license fee you pay for a personal license will allow you to check/diff however many FTP sites you want.

barney:
You're probably right - I didn't spend much time reading the fine print. 

I was hoping to find something similar to FileZilla, but when the first three (3) hits I ran across (and several times thereafter) were commercial, and nothing showed on FreeCode, I figured my luck was out.  Since I'll prolly have to pay for the product, I seek opinions/recommendations on the better product. 

I don't mind the pay for aspect, but I don't want to sucker myself into paying for a bad product (which has happened more than once, hardware and software both  :-[ :-\).

mouser:
I've found Beyond Compare to be quite wonderful.

FWIW, the following seems to have a column for FTP support:
