I've been using "Core FTP LE" from my PC to an OpenVMS machine running 
TCP/IP services.  It seems to mostly work.  It gets confused on file size in 
the display and a few other nits.  However, it works most of the time for 
the things I need (mostly transferring files from the OpenVMS machine back 
to my PC).
