Robby on Rails

Cyberduck is very good and open source, although I use Transmit myself it’s very nice and totally stable but it’s shareware.

cyberduck or fugu (sftp only)

I second the Cyberduck recommendation, but only because it’s free. I’ve had stability problems with it, but it gets the job done.

Of course, you could buy Transmit and support your neighbors a few blocks north :)

Just buy Transmit.

Bought transmit but never upgraded to 3. Started using Cyberduck since it’s free. Works fine. Never looked back.

I agree with rds, just get Transmit. But if you absolutely don’t want to buy a client cyberduck and fugu are good choices.

Yep, Cyberduck and Fugu are both nice freeware SFTP clients. Fugu only does SSH2-based SFTP transfers, though. Cyberduck does both traditional FTP as well as SFTP.

I’d used both Cyberduck and Fugu for a number of months before eventually springing for Transmit since it was the only app that was able to properly mirror/synchronize folders between my PowerBook and my remote servers.

Cyberduck and Fugu are both nice apps, but in the end I didn’t mind paying for Transmit since it simply allowed me to get on with my work with a minimum of fuss. (Which is why most of us use Macs in the first place, I suppose :)

YummyFTP made me switch from Transmit, what a difference!

Cyberduck otherwise, unless it crashes on you.

Of the free FTP apps available, Cyberduck is probably the best there is. But I found it slow and the interface isn’t brilliant.

I too just bought Transmit in the end; its the best FTP app you can get for OSX.

RBrowser. Free, simple, easy.

I second the Cyberduck recommendation :)

But what’s wrong with the command line? NcFtp is a really nice CLI client – it’s available through ports (and fink?).

I really like the look of Transmit, but I too use Cyberduck. It really has become quite a nice stable app. Fugu is also OK.

I used Cyberduck for a while, but after a long string of seemingly unneccessary crashes, I broke down and bought a license of Transmit. Boy, have I not regretted that. For all of Cyberduck’s instability, Transmit is almost the exact opposite. It’s clean, simple, solid, and fast. Sorry, I know you said free. But Transmit’s almost free… $27 is pretty reasonable for a quality app.

Pay someone to port FUSE.

Just kidding. I’ve heard CyberDuck is very nice. What’s wrong with the Finder’s FTP? You might be able to write a script that would hook that into SFTP; not quite sure how that works internally.

Show some love for a fellow Portland company… buy Transmit! You know, Panic’s office is just a few blocks from yours. You could probably walk over there and get a free copy from them if you worked out some sort of deal. I’ll bet they could use some free web hosting just as much as you could use a free FTP app.

While I’m on the subject of Panic, check out their selection of T-shirts. They’re made in the USA!

Surely an ‘Executive Director’ can afford to buy an FTP client? Don’t be so tight-fisted!

Just buy Transmit, best FTP client by far. :-)

I used Transmit – but switched to Yummy FTP. Yummy is amazingly fast and slick. Nothing else comes close.

The free version of RBrowser only does FTP – no SFTP, etc. However, the pay-for version of RBrowser is incredible. It is not as fast or slick looking as Transmit or Yummy – but it will access sites and do tricks that no other FTP/SFTP client will.

So, I use Yummy FTP for everything – then switch to RBrowser if Yummy fails to do the job (rare).
