CVS and FTP (excluding directories)

I use CVS to keep track of my source. CVS puts a "CVS" directory in
each dir of the site.

I don't want to transfer those. Can any one recommend a good FTP
client that can transfer files and exclude certain directories from
being tranferred based on their name?

Free is better :) but, i would be willing to buy a good FTP client.

One option might be to not create those directories in the first place.
You can use "cvs export" instead of "cvs co" for this.
