Well, there are a number of FTP clients besides Konqueror, such as Caitoo, KFTP
and KberoFTP.

There is a (non-KDE specific) site which lists apps (including for KDE) that
people have requested which you might consider as a good starting point:
http://www.cosource.com/

If you want to consider working with others, there are a bunch of ongoing
KDE projects where developers have requested help, including (IIRC) Kash (a
money manager/financial tool), Katabase, Magellan and others.  If you have a
good bit of time to devote, you might consider helping the KOffice development
team (koffice.kde.org).

Andreas
