I like using KDE's Dolphin on Linux. Two important things that it can do are:
Does anyone know a good, free program for Windows that can do the same?

The KDE on Windows project will let you use Dolphin on Windows.

sorry for noob comment but when I come to your link, there is no "Download" menu nor Dolphin-windows-build-version :( – Luke – 2019-06-12T15:05:14.763
@Luke maybe 10 years later it is no longer available? – Mark – 2019-06-14T21:30:49.617
1Sad to know that. After some more searched, i've found that instead of maintain a fork of dolphin built for windows, they packed all of it to a single package kde-for-windows. – Luke – 2019-06-15T03:22:57.517

I use FileZilla. It does exactly what you need it to.

Good client. Avoid the server, as it makes unwanted connections to unknown servers. – kmarsh – 2009-08-24T13:10:30.367
Not entirely. In filezilla you can't open two ftp locations next to eachother. Editing files is a hassle (right click -> edit -> make changes -> save -> confirm upload) compared to Dolphin. It's a good client, but just for uploading and downloading. – Bart van Heukelom – 2009-08-24T13:19:13.870

No, they won't. I've been looking around for something like Konqueror, or Dolphin for windows and it doesn't exist. The ease of dealing with files, local or remote. Doing file type conversions, or in window text editing. Unpacking or packing zip, tar, rar, or bzip. Moving seamlessly from preview to icon, to text file information. KIO slaves that let you treat remote filesystems (ssh, ftp, smb) as local. No there is nothing for windows like it. Sad, but true.

1Windows has network filesystem support built-in, coming with SMB and WebDAV support out of the box, NFS optional. – user1686 – 2012-01-16T18:33:30.797

You can download Swish for SFTP support directy in Windows Explorer and Windows Double Explorer for browsing with two or more panels.
These solutions are native for Windows and work nice.

xplorer² and Total Commander are able to do what you want. However, both will cost you money.
FreeCommander is a free file manager replacement with FTP and split screen support. KDE on Windows may also work.

SpeedCommander is a comfortable file manager. It builds on the proven two window technology and offers a multitude of exclusive features. Sort, copy, move or delete your files either using the keyboard or the mouse.

There's Dolphin for Windows. It the file manager I use on my Windows 7. I must admit it doesn't work as well on Windows as it does in Linux.

How could you use it?
I went to https://community.kde.org/Windows and nothing there for me to download or install

I use Dolphin on KDE and NexusFile on Windows. It is a different experience but not too bad, and also reminds me of StupenDOS with the color scheme (not to show my age there).
