Sftp which is part of the ssh you have installed already. Sftp clients are available for all platforms. If it is a case that you have ftp scripts etc and just want the encryption on the traffic the stunnel is also available on all platforms.
The point you make about the ports being a problem then you can change them by changing the /etc/services file and/or providing the port as part of the ftp session.

if you are currently using the ssh client, you should be able to use the sftp (secure ftp) client to securely ftp into the machine running the sshd, assuming you have an account :)
