Take a look at FtpWebRequest class, it will be the core of your app.
Alternately there are other third party classes that implement the ftp
protocol.

Secondly stop by codeproject.com or sourceforge.net and see if there are
other free FTP clients there, you might get ideas from those projects.

I'd start with the FTP specification:

..NET Framework has classes for both FTP and GUI, so
I would say that you just start creating the app you want,
because all the pieces are there.

I'd suggest starting here:
http://www.enterprisedt.com/products/edtftpnet/overview.html
it's free and source code is included.
Don't reinvent the wheel.
