Ah yes. That's the real answer to a problem like this. Internet connections usually aren't robust enough. Now of course you can ftp from the windows commandline too (that little application with the wee window where you can say things like ping).
But what you REALLY need to do this properly is linux. You want a shell script which is programmed to do all your ftp action for you, so you can transfer each of the 20,000 files one command at a time - it doesn't take long to set the scripts up of course, particularly if you know a little perl.
Then you set it so that every single item is sent one by one - there ought to be no failure of transfer. To be massively safe, you should split the 20,000 files up into a set of 20 x 1000 transfer commands. That way if any of them DOES get halted by some external factor relating to connections holding up etc, then it's okay, the other 19 are still unlikely to be hit and you'll only need to do that one again (but ensure you put in enough error-watching commands to know if that's happened and if so, where).
That's the way you do it from the commandline. And for real professionalism you take a deep breath and fill your lungs and then go "AHOY THERE MATEYS!" really loud, as you press the return/enter button and set it in motion.

I think Filezila is good for you.

So is cod liver oil (take it in capsule form to avoid the unpleasant taste).
