Basically I'm using FileZilla right now but wouldn't mind to use any other gui. What I want is to index all directories and files in an ftp server so I can review them later (without the need of any connection to the original server). Any help will be appreciated - I'm using Opensuse Tumbleweed (latest updated) + KDE Desktop.

You can do this via CLI.
Use a command-line FTP client and run this command:
dir -lR
or
ls -R
which will list recursively the content of all directories and subdirectories.
Otherwise, without using a FTP client:
wget -r -x --no-remove-listing --spider ftp://ftp.example.com/
This will use wget to:
-r) all directories and subdirectories, -x) .listing (--no-remove-listing) files showing the contents of each directory, --spider).

For server without recursive listing support, this may be useful

More or less. It will create a tree on your machine with a listing of directory contents in each directory. Answer updated. – dr01 – 2016-05-14T14:47:26.920
