Comments on: What FTP app do you use?

There are a number of good Mac FTP clients. Cyberduck is adequate for personal websites but way too slow for pro work. Fugu is also okay for free. But if you design for a living the $25-$30 that a quality FTP client costs is more than worth the money.

Yummy FTP is my favorite. It has good feature match with Transmit but moves multiple files much more quickly. Unlike Cyberduck (or Filezilla) I can trust it to transfer all the files of a large site. I use Yummy’s scheduled syncs for multiple sites and drop folders for sites I’m currently designing. It’s the only Mac FTP client that comes close to transferring files as quickly as a Windows program. The built in OS X FTP functions than most Mac FTP clients incorporate are noticeably slow in this regard.

Crush FTP and Captain FTP also have nice feature sets. All of the clients offer free demo periods. Try them out.

Interarchy is powerful but I’m not willing to pay extra for its system admin features that I don’t use. Fetch, unfortunately hasn’t kept up with the other quality FTP clients.

ForkLift is my latest favorite: http://www.binarynights.com
Unbelievably fast and sophisticated. It is still in beta but set up a new standard for me.
It handles FTP/SFTP and it can even copy between two servers.

Hey, I’m Aaron Jacobs, the author of OneButton FTP. Jon Kantro said that it seems that OBFTP is no longer in development. I can understand that impression since I have not had time to work on it for quite awhile — I’m the sole developer and have had a killer year in school.

But it’s not the case that the project is dead. In fact, I’ve got quite a few things that I want to implement this summer, and hope to make a 1.0 release sometime in the future. I won’t commit to any specific timeline because it will just slip, but it’s definitely a goal for me.

Also, despite a lack of time to work on the code, I’ve been responding to e-mails about bugs and feature requests all along. So if you have something to say, let me know.

I used Cyberduck for more than one year but was upset with its lack of any auto-reconnect /resume feature.
I gave a try to Yummy FTP and purchased it.
It’s easy to use, reliable, reconnects and resumes automatically flawlessly.

I recommend Yummy FTP. It’s very customizable and has an easy interface. It’s also very reliable and stable. The developer is very responsive and it seems that Yummy FTP is one of the fastest ftp clients.

Interarchy, I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned more often by respondents. It can be as simple or as complete as the user wishes.

Dang. I just fire up Terminal and ftp into the site. I do it all via the shell. Guess that makes me old school, but it’s fast and reliable.

Fetch. Works like a charm – never had a problem.

Transmit. It’s simple, elegant, and works every time for me. I did have to contact support once, though, about the .Mac sync not working, and never got a response.

FTPeel, though I will go away and try Transmit since loads here seem to be using it and I have never tried it?

I use Fetch because it’s very reliable.

I hate to admit it but I use Transmit because it is so damn good looking. All the icons and UI are lickable. There must be better reasons to use Transmit since it works so well but my reason is purely aesthetics.

CyberDuck! Love it!

I used Transmit, but switched to Cyberduck. Very reliable on SFTP, integrates nicely with Quicksilver and Growl – and it’s free! Why should I use another one? (Besides: they all are by far better than all the crappy windows-clients)

Cyberduck or Fugu :D

I have to throw my weight in here for Cyberduck.

Haven’t tried most of the others, but that’s because I never have had to. Cyberduck is free, clean, fast, has never bugged out on me, and is updated on a regular basis.

It also has a really awesome and fun icon.

Seriously, how can you go wrong? Cyberduck it is.

Cyberduck. It has a nice clean, minimal interface. You really shouldn not need a local file browsing window (like Transmit has). You really shouldn’t have to pay ~$30 for FTP either. skEdit was mentioned – and I payed for and used it a while, but overall it has too many little bugs. imo. TextMate is my editor of choice … I wish it had built in FTP tho – or some means of supporting projects through S/FTP. Actually what I really wish is that OS X natively had ‘really good’ ™ S/FTP support. Then this discussion wouldn’t be happening =)
