I thought I'd recommend the one I use, but it doesn't appear to be free 
(in either sense).

ZScreen seems to meet your criteria according to its website*:
ZScreen is an open-source screen capture program that allows for 
region/window/full-screen screenshots. It can FTP screenshots and put 
the URL in your clipboard in a single keystroke. It supports automatic 
custom naming conventions with variables. It can also interface with 
image editing software. It is a C#.NET 2.0 program hosted on 
Sourceforge.net and built by BrandonZ (inf1ni).

I'll probably give it a try, but if anyone else has comments I'd like to 
hear them.
