Review: Top 3 Mac FTP Apps

TransmitBeing a busy webmaster, I constantly have to manage remote files, backups and all else stored away on remote servers using one of the many FTP programs available on the Mac. Here are the top three:

Fetch, Transmit, and CyberDuck.

Fetch (Fetch SoftWorks; Shareware; $25)

Fetch

Fetch was one of the first FTP clients created for the Macintosh. Similar to the Finder, Fetch operates using a single pane uploading interface. While this allows for more simplicity and fluidity to be present throughout the interface it’s slightly more difficult to compare local files, and some cases an additional finder window is required. In the current version there is no support for spring-loaded folders or column views.

In addition to the obvious FTP and SFTP connections, Fetch allows for secure connections using the Kerberos service, as well as support for more proxy options than other comparable FTP clients. It also features something coveted by many: automatic file compression on upload, supporting Gzip, Gzip Tar, Stuffit, and Zip formats. If you take advantage of it, this may be Fetch’s killer feature. It also features the ability to edit text files graphics, remotely.

Unlike some other FTP apps, Fetch has no capability to create drop-boxes for uploading to frequented locations. It does have support for AppleScript, so someone with a bit of coding knowledge could build these quite easily.

Fetch is a very powerful, yet simple FTP app. The simplicity might put it at a minor disadvantage in comparison with other similarly priced applications. But should serve well anyone who needs a reliable FTP client.

Rating: 3.9/5


Transmit (Panic; Shareware; $29.95)

Transmit

Panic’s Transmit is undoubtedly one of the most critically acclaimed FTP clients on the Mac platform. With it’s functional, beautiful interface, and innovative features, her praise is well-deserved. There is nothing drastic about Transmit’s interface and there should be little-to-no learning curve when switching from any other Mac FTP app.

Transmit includes browser-like tabs, which allows for improved organization of a cluttered workflow. It also has the ability to synchronize folder navigation, meaning that the hierarchial navigation can be synchronized throughout both your local, and remote files.

The app’s interface is even further improved for those new to FTP, using layman’s terms, your local files are titled “your files” and remote files nicknamed “their files”. Transmit also has spring-loaded folders.

Transmit includes support for the standard file transfer methods: FTP, SFTP, FTP with use of SSL; and the not-so-standard WebDAV with HTTPS and secure HTTP support.

Remotely editing nearly any remote file in a local application is a breeze, and is especially useful when making small edits. Transmit also offers the ability to synchronize a local folder with a remote one. There is also an included Dashboard widget for quick drag-and-drop uploading.

One of Transmit’s unique features is DockSend. Any file you drag into its dock icon can be copied to a designated location on the remote server. Transmit also features the ability to dynamically calculate folder sizes, which is a great feature if you use it.

Transmit is a full-featured, seamlessly integrated, and beautifully designed FTP app, nearly guaranteed to improve your uploading work-flow. It’s features outnumber and outperform that of competing apps and though it may be a few dollars more, it’s surely worth it.

Rating: 4.5/5


CyberDuck (CyberDuck; Open Source (GPL); Free)

CyberDuck

CyberDuck is full-featured, free, and open source. CyberDuck’s interface is standard for anyone who has used a graphical FTP client before. It provides well integrated support for OS X’s drag-and-drop environment and takes advantage of many of OS X’s other core technologies such as Bonjour and the Keychain.

Remote editing is supported, though only for text-editing. Like all the other apps we’ve looked at, CyberDuck includes support for remote synchronization of local files. It also has the ability to resume transfers, full Applescript support, and extensive localization with built-in support for 23 languages.

With its open source architecture, streamlined interface, well implemented features and very few bugs, CyberDuck is a great zero-cost alternative to its non-free competitors with little feature reduction.

Rating: 4.3/5


While any of these applications would be a great choice for someone in need of an FTP client, one stands out from the rest: Transmit. Its complete feature set, seamless integration, and beautifully designed UI warrant this application a winner. While it may cost a bit more, it simply outperforms the rest.

If you need more options before you make a decision, take a look at Fugu and YummyFTP.

    If you’re a student, like me, you can request a free full license for Fetch from FetchSoftWorks here: http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/Licensing/edustore.application.html (even if your school is outside the US). Enjoy :)
    Great article!

  2. Kuswanto on May 24th, 2007 7:07 am

    I am using cyberduck atm, but got really some bad experience. Many times when using Cybeduck it hangs, SBBOD all the time, especially when sync files. And the sync files features is inaccurate, some newer files on local are not uploaded to remote.

    I am thinking to buy Transmit :-)

  3. Dway on May 24th, 2007 8:17 am

    Interarchy, anyone?

  4. E.T.Cook on May 24th, 2007 8:44 am

    Interarchy is far better than all three put together.

    I have yet to conceive why Transmit is so critically acclaimed. Sure…compared to the other options on a Mac, except for Interarchy, Transmit is decent…but it is no better than most of the crappy shareware ftp apps for the PC. The interface isn’t “gorgeous”. That is like saying Winzip is “gorgeous”.

  5. ER on May 24th, 2007 9:15 am

    So, you totally missed YummyFTP (http://www.yummysoftware.com/). Faster (as claimed) than the others.

  6. ER on May 24th, 2007 9:16 am

    Well, you didn’t miss it, but you should have reviewed it like the others.

  7. DarylF2 on May 24th, 2007 9:58 am

    I agree that Interarchy is a major player in the Mac FTP app arena, and should have been included. Its a terrific application. I do have one problem with it: the scheduled copies don’t always work for me. Overall the app is stable and very reliable, though, and (uniquely) has terrific support for the Amazon S3 service.

    I do tend to use Transmit mainly, though (yes I bought licenses for Interarchy *and* Transmit…). Transmit has NEVER failed me in any way and is extremely easy to use.

  8. Chad on May 24th, 2007 10:04 am

    If you want overpriced ftp software, then Interarchy is for you. It’s overprised to me because I wouldn’t even use half the options in it.

    Unless you are in an enterprise environment, it’s overkill.

  9. Frank C on May 24th, 2007 11:00 am

    Yummy FTP should have been included. I actually like it more than Transmit…

  10. mitch on May 24th, 2007 11:31 am

    Another vote for YummyFTP (http://yummysoftware.com/)… the site looks a little off but the app is by far the best ftp client, and the developer couldn’t be more helpful.

  11. Jon Kantro on May 24th, 2007 12:45 pm

    @Kuswanto: This should be fixed in the next Cyberduck release, 2.8 as there are many large bug fixes as well as a new ssh core.

  12. Tom on May 24th, 2007 1:36 pm

    Hey BaroqueW,

    got any other pieces of software that offer deep education discounts or for free?

  13. Michael on May 25th, 2007 12:24 am

    Yummy is better than both Cyberduck and Fetch. It has live editing like Transmit. I think Transmit and Yummy are the top two FTP clients. Theres also one-button ftp, it’s free.

  14. Jim on May 25th, 2007 9:13 am

    @Michael: what do you mean by “live editing”?

    @Jordan: check out the Droplet shortcut support in Fetch 5.2.

  15. David Mendez on May 25th, 2007 10:04 am

    Transmit is fantastic, couldn’t agree more. It’s the best FTP client I have ever used

  16. Michael on May 25th, 2007 3:47 pm

    @Jim, normally when you want to edit something on your server, you open up your ftp app, download the file, edit it, save it, reupload it. With live editing, you can right click on a file on your server, click Edit with, say a photo, edit with photoshop, make your changes, click save and it maes the changes to the copy on the server, when you refresh that page or file on your site, it automatically has those changes. Essentially, you are editing live on your server as if you were making a change to a file on your local machine. It’s great, especially for making quick edits/changes.

  17. Jim on May 25th, 2007 4:16 pm

    @Michael: Thanks for the clarification. Fetch has that as well.

  18. Travis on May 26th, 2007 1:03 am

    Yeah…gotta agree with a few previous posts – Yummy FTP is flat out, no questions asked, better than Fetch and Cyberduck (both of which I used prior to Yummy). I’ve not used Transmit, but my buddy switched from Transmit to Yummy and only regrets not doing it sooner. Generally, I’m cheap and love to support and use open-source packages, but I plunked down the $25 for Yummy, threw Cyberduck in the trash and and haven’t looked back; heck, as an educator, I even got a free license for Fetch – and I was still willing to pay for the Yummy license. Why, you ask? Simply use it for one week and you’ll know exactly why. (BTW, not a friend, acquaintance, or even remotely connected with the developer..just really like the software and felt compelled to give my two cents)

  19. Adam Wolnough on May 26th, 2007 3:58 am

    Ah Yummy FTP, the master of sock puppet marketing:

    http://wilshipley.com/blog/2005/12/sock-puppet-marketing.html

    Transmit and Interarchy are the kings of the Mac FTP world. Whenever Interarchy or Transmit are mentioned in a blog you can almost guarentee a bunch of rave reviews for Yummy FTP will appear in a days time (and Jim Matthews in two days time saying “What about Fetch”). Sure a few mentions of competitors is to be expected but the same bogus comments – all agreeing with each other – keep getting made over and over again. Highly suspicious.

    I doubt the validity of any of the comments here promoting Yummy FTP. And I also doubt the validity of comments shamelessly promoting Yummy FTP elsewhere. Clever marketing perhaps but highly unethical. Yummy FTP is certainly not a company I want anything to do with.

  20. Jim on May 27th, 2007 12:45 pm

    Free is always good… but an app that has been around a while and been at the top of the mountain since the start is worth paying a small fee for.

    Transmit is the best – BY FAR. If you can’t afford it, or don’t have enough need for all it has to offer, then CyberDuck is a distant, but VERY worthy second.

    Everything else is just… well, just there.

    @ Adam Wolnough

    Is there any logic behind your comment? Agreed, Yummy FTP doesn’t have a fraction of the userbase compared to Transmit. But what does that prove?

    The reason why there are a lot of more Transmit users out there, and why the same app has gained heaps if credit and reputation, is simply due to the fact that 1.) it has been out since forever, and 2.) it’s been spent a whole lot more marketing dough on, and possibly 3.) has had the opportunity to enjoy a lot more media hype in times when ftp clients were few and ftp’ing was an exotic kind of practice.

    Judging from your comment, it’s hard to believe that you even tried Yummy FTP yourself. You’re making an assumption that the sheer number of users equals ‘the’ measure for defining quality… Thusly, I take it you’re prefering the ‘better’ PC platform, which has a gazillion more users than Mac, yes?

  26. Henrik on March 8th, 2008 3:15 pm

    @ Adam Wolnough (again)

    Officially retracting my comment, as I think I misunderstood what you said completely (must have mixed things up somehow, could happen anyone). Although I still don’t understand why a few people raving about a competitor app would mean what you suspect.

    I for one is in no way affiliated with the creators of Yummy FTP.

  28. MistaFisha on November 26th, 2008 7:05 pm

    Transmit is good, except you can’t see verbatim what is happening by default, I had to dig around in the view menu to show the “transcript” drawer panel which shows log messages and transfers. There is no queue area. The site manager is called favorites and it doesn’t allow you to save the site settings if use the front login screen.

    I don’t like Fetch or Cyberduck because they are single-paned, showing only server files, hence you must open a finder window and multiple windows cluttering the screen. I prefer a multi-paned interface all in one window.

    Check out Filezilla, I think it’s worthy of this “top” list, because to me it has all the desired features, it’s intuitive, and it’s free.

  29. s woodside on December 1st, 2008 3:25 pm

    @Adam Wolnough

    Well I not only use Yummy FTP, like Yummy FTP, but I’m also a real person, which you can see by looking at my blog post and googling me:

    http://simonwoodside.com/weblog/2008/12/1/yummy_ftp_for_mac_os/

    Oddly enough the page you reference doesn’t mention Yummy at all. Seems like you are conducting a FUD campaign against Yummy… Odd that googling you comes up with … NOTHING AT ALL. Fishy.

    Anyway, as others say, check out Yummy before you buy. I haven’t tried the latest Transmit but in the past I found it annoying.

  30. mj on May 3rd, 2009 8:28 pm

    What about Captain FTP for Mac?
    I heard that it is very good, is it true?

  31. Hanne on June 26th, 2009 9:57 pm

    I will refrain from recommending cyperduck as it has too many bugs. Having gone from working with PCs and the absurdly easy WSFTP for years. So I tried Cyperduck. That is a gonner. So I will try yummy before I move to transmit. ‘

    It makes me wonder why it seems so difficult to create decent simple utilities for the Mac??!!
    Any recommendations? I will check back

  32. Hanne on June 26th, 2009 9:58 pm

    PS
    Forgot to mention, core FTP, how I wish that was available for the Mac

  33. BaroqueW on June 29th, 2009 2:01 pm

    I am currently using Forklift. You have to pay for it but it’s pretty good with a slick interface.
    “difficult to create decent simple utilities for the Mac”? I guess it’s a question of point of view, that’s a similar thought that made me leave the Windows world and failed to make me fall for Linux…

  34. Tina on October 20th, 2009 8:25 pm

    Well, I tried Cyberduck (as it was the FTP client) which has been loaded onto my Hosting Service. It didn’t work for me. Unable to Connect. Issues with passwords etc.. (I’ll go back to FETCH.)

    Fetch I began using (22 years ago) at the ANU. It’s still around. It still works. I used it extensively over the last 3 years (maintaining websites) and it worked flawlessly.

    At the end of the day, if what you use works, then USE IT. What appeals to one, doesn’t necessarily appeal to another. That’s life.

  35. Oldtech on December 12th, 2009 9:10 pm

    After 20 years I am finally giving Mac a try (iMac). I have read all of the comments above and appreciate the suggestions. I have used CuteFTP for ten or fifteen years and am comfortable with it. I see it is now available in a Mac version.
    I wonder if anyone has give it a try and has an opinion?

    Thanks,

    Oldtech

  36. aljuk on March 9th, 2010 3:40 pm

    I’ve used every ftp client mentioned, but for me personally yummy ftp wipes the floor with all of them. Local and remote panes side by side, sftp, and sync between the two based on file modification dates. Added to that you can prepare uploads ahead of time and automate the transfer. I’ve been using it about 18 months now, and it’s rock solid. Everytime I’ve gone back to a previous app, even though in their own way many of them are very good, I’m disappointed at their lack of functionality.

  37. Remote one on April 4th, 2010 7:32 pm

    You should have titled it “Bottom 3 Mac FTP Apps” as those listed are THE most USELESS ftp apps I have tried so far. I’m still looking for an FTP client that will work properly and with the search features I need.

  38. Hanne on April 4th, 2010 7:38 pm

    I give another vote for yummy. The latest version is fast and dependable. I

  39. Remote one on April 4th, 2010 7:39 pm

    Regarding CUTEftp .
    Yes I use it for PC but have found the MAC version to be useless. It looks like it is still “under construction” and does not have the functionality of its windows sibling.

  40. hobo jo on April 4th, 2010 10:37 pm

    I need a FTP client that has usable search functionality.
    Ive spent the past 2 days testing free and paid software and NONE yet have the functionality I need.
    cuteFTP for windoze is the best I have found, but it does have issues refreshing the file lists. but the current version of cuteFTP for MAC is useless.
    I need a FTP client that can Search recursively my remote server by Name,Kind, and/or permission attributes. So far these are coming close:
    Filezilla: Good search function but you cand do much with the files found! Can delete or move the items in the found file list, but thats it !
    crossFTP: Best search function and filtering, BUT its useless because you cannot do ANYTHING with the files it finds!! Whats the point of that ?

    I need to be able to change the permissions of over 1500 (found) files. Im not about to try and do that manually.

    Anyone know of decent FTP client? free or paid ?

  41. hobo jo on April 4th, 2010 11:02 pm

    Oh and regarding Yummy. Well I think if youve been searching like I have youll skip Yummmy as its not better than filezilla, and does not have the seach functionality !!

    Please… someone correct me if Im wrong here, I dont want to misrepresent anyones software.

  42. Hanne on April 4th, 2010 11:10 pm

    Yummy was not that great before and I passed up on it last year. As I was unable to find any other ones, I retried Yummy a month ago and am 95% happy with it now bought it and am using it without any major issues.

  43. hobo jo on April 5th, 2010 12:01 am

    Ive just tried Yummy and FileZilla again to evaluate the Search and Filter functions.
    Search:
    Filezilla has best search function but still doesnt do what I need.
    Yummy not so yummy.
    Filter:
    Yummy has good filter functionality but cannot filter by permissions attributes.
    Yummy still shows the filtered files/folders but displays an “X” over the icon for the file. Now if you “select All” and change the permissions recursively, Yummy will still act upon those files that are filtered out! Whats the point of that?
    FILEZILLA on the other hand wil not display files that are filtered out, and when you Select All , it will only select the files that are displayed. When you change Permissions recursively, only the filtered-in files are changed.
    BRILLIANT thats hat I need!
    Also, with Filezilla Mac you can tell it to change the owner, group and user permissions separately, ignoring those set to “x”.
    Thus changing perms of files with say 644 and 744 to 655 and 755, you specify “x55″ as the perms and change the filtered-in files recursively.
    Taken me 2 days to work this out.
    And the winner is ….File Zilla.. its also free.

  44. notsoyummy on April 20th, 2010 7:41 pm

    I’ve been using Yummy FTP for a few years and it’s just been a nightmare. It constantly has issues with the keychain. We will set up a schedule, half the time it doesn’t run or gets stuck. I have had nothing but complaints about it. I am finally fed up and looking for a new ftp software. Yummy has cost me many hours of work.

  45. hobojo on April 22nd, 2010 8:29 am

    FIleZilla is the best suited to my needs.
    Its FREE and its available for the PC and Mac.
    The Mac version seems to work as well than the PC version.

  46. dcolumbus on April 26th, 2010 8:08 pm

    Without a doubt, Yummy has outperformed Transmit by a long shot. Faster, more reliable, more stats. Bravo.

  47. hobojo on April 28th, 2010 1:14 am

    Yeah , thats like comparing a dead dog to a dead cat. Both dead, just the dog might be harder to bury. Neither Yummy nor Transmit have the functionallity of FileZilla (free).

    Instead of giving unsupported and biased opinion, how about a real feature and Test comparison. ?

  48. Skip on April 30th, 2010 5:06 pm

    A little off topic here, but still on the topic of FTP clients for Mac…

    First, I’ll start by saying that I’ve tried Transmit, Fetch, Cyberduck (the one I’m currently using), AbleFTP, and FileZilla. I used to rely solely on the built-in FTP capability in dreamweaver, but since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year I’m lucky if the connection works long enough to upload the files. So, for most projects I have found that Cyberduck does a pretty good job of synchronizing what I have saved to my hard drive versus what’s on the server and has performed the tasks relatively quickly.

    With that said, here’s what I’m up against: I’m working with a client right now who wants me to release a new web page almost every night at midnight for the entire month of May. They’re also going to be sending emails out every night that a new web page is scheduled to launch. I told them it’s a bad idea and kind of a waste of time, but they think it will be great so I’m doing it for them.

    I have other clients who demand my attention during normal business hours. I have to sleep at some point in May. So, I’m trying to find a good FTP client that will handle uploading the new web page every night for me. AbleFTP is the only one I’ve found that might allow scheduling, but I’m not about to pay $90 for mediocre performance. In fact, if I were to pay that much I would expect the FTP client to do a lot more than just upload and download files at a scheduled time.

    Does anyone have suggestions for another FTP client that might help me out, or know of a simple Automator script that I can quickly set up to upload the new web page each night? Anything would help. I appreciate your time.

  49. Marek on June 24th, 2010 5:17 pm

    Hi Guys,

    I recently switched completely from a Win machine to a Mac (Wahoo.. I hear cheers and congratulations LOL ) yes.. well.. I am overall very happy with my permanent switch, I have been a “on and off” type of Mac user for a while.. but decided to make the BIG move.

    Now.. back to the topic of FTP. Being a webdesigner and php developer I needed a reliable FTP software.. so I set out to try them all.. and decided that none of them really cut it.. FLOW was probably the closest to being reliable.. but not having a dual local/remote pain/window is absolutely painful. I even got Classic FTP software from the apple website a go.. I couldn’t change file permissions, I couldnt CHMOD remote folders.. and who wants to go into terminal mode just to do that.

    Anyway.. I gave Cyberduck the quack.. Flow.. flew away.. Transmit drove away.. and the most reliable, robust FTP software I started using, was the same one I used back in the WIN machine.. CuteFTP Pro for Mac from Globalspace.com (ok ok.. I have’t tried Yummy FTP yet.. aparantly its also dual pane ) but at this stage Cute FTP is seriously good solution for $39.

    *disclaimer: I don’t work for globalspace LOL

  50. Skip on June 24th, 2010 6:16 pm

    Marek,
    I would actually recommend trying out Yummy FTP. I was hesitant at first because I didn’t really want to pay for an FTP client, but to be honest I actually like it a lot and now use it for managing files on several websites.

    It takes a few minutes to get everything set up the way you want it, but some of the features are fantastic – not even in the same league as Cyberduck or Transmit in my opinion.

    Use the trial (I think it’s 30 days) to see if you like it. I downloaded it this May, I paid for it in week number 3, and I don’t regret it.

    BTW, congrats on the permanent switch!

  51. hobojo on August 20th, 2010 8:30 pm

    Merik,
    Making generalised comments without any real substance just wastes peoples time, clearly you have a vested interest in the software you praise. Anything specific or useful to say?

    Im back here because Ive been praising Filezilla here previously. Most praise goes to its Permissions and File filtering functionality being the best I have found.
    BUT, I have had a lot of trouble with Filezilla’s File Transfer capabilities.
    So much trouble I have had to resort to Booting up my old XP machine and downloading my 65MB file using cuteFTP.

    I will need to look at other Mac FTP clients that support “resume” “stop” and “pause” of File Transfers, because since v3.x.x Filezilla does NOT SUPPORT resume of interupted file transfers.
    My server supports “File Transfer Resumption” and multiple connections with no FT limitations nor throttling. Mac Filezilla 3.3.3 would stall my 65MB download at exactly he same Byte count of 36,027,688bytes ! Ever time !
    cute FTP does not stall, and will automatically/manually resume transfers on a lost connection once connected again.

    It seems that I will need 2 FTP clients to perform all the tasks I need.
    So my specific question is, (ignoring overall goodness):
    Which FTP client for Mac ;
    a: has the most stable and reliable connectivity?
    b: fully supports resume” “stop” and “pause” of File Transfers?
    Happy Trials

  52. hobojo on August 20th, 2010 8:51 pm

    My apologies to you Merik, I meant to address SKIP.
    OOOOooops.

    Merik, a question if I ma:
    Given your experience using cuteFTP, how well does it handle resumption of broken transfers?

  53. hobojo on August 20th, 2010 9:17 pm

    Update,
    I think this is a Mac problem I am having, both cuteFTP and Filezilla give
    “421 Too many connections (2) from this IP” error” but no such error from WinXP machine on same network/router/modem/ISP and server.
    My topic is beyond the scope of this forum thread I think.

    However, trying cuteFTP trial, theres NO file transfer “resume” or “pause functions.

  54. Skip on August 23rd, 2010 2:46 am

    hobojo,
    In response to your accusation about me having a vested interest in the software I recommended to Marek…

    1. I came here looking for some assistance finding good FTP software that would help me assist a client without sacrificing the quality of support being offered to other clients. With no response I tried a program that other people recommended earlier in this thread and found that it met every criteria I needed. If that’s a “vested interest” then yes, I suppose I have a vested interest in Yummy FTP.

    2. Having tried several FTP clients myself while looking for one to use, and knowing that I received no response to my question in April, I decided to respond to Marek by encouraging him to at least try Yummy FTP based on my success with the software… one of the few he hadn’t tried. If that’s a “vested interest” then yes, I suppose I have a vested interest in Yummy FTP.

    3. I don’t make any money from Yummy FTP or any affiliate of Yummy FTP, but I still recommend that other people try it for free just like I did because I had and still have success with the software. If that’s a “vested interest” then yes, I suppose I have a vested interest in Yummy FTP.

    At no time did I say, spend the $ on buying Yummy FTP. I said, “use the trial.” In summary, don’t make accusations you can’t support.

    Now onto your problem. What’s happening is your server or your computer is getting overloaded (flooded) with 2 concurrent connections. Try limiting connections to 1.

    In FileZilla do the following:

    1. Go to File > Site Manager
    2. Select the site you want
    3. Click the “Transfer Settings” tab
    4. Check the “Limit Simultaneous Connections” box
    5. Verify that the connections limit is 1
    6. Click OK
    7. Try it now

    In CuteFTP do the following:

    1. Go to Preferences > Transfer
    2. Make sure “allow up to ___ simultaneous transfers” is set to 1
    3. Click OK
    4. Try it now

    If that doesn’t work, post a reply. We’ll go from there.

    @ notsoyummy

    I am the author of Yummy FTP.

    I haven’t received any complaints in the areas you say are a ‘nightmare’, and certainly have not received any emails from you asking for support, so I’m very perplexed by the issues you’ve experienced.

    Please contact me to resolve your issues: support at yummysoftware dot com

    I have use Filezilla on all my Linux systems, on my Window’s systems (Xp, Vista, and Windows 7) and now that I have moved to the Mac have installed it on the Mac.

    It has performed well in all of my environments and the price is right at $0.

    FTP Client from http://macftpclient.com is also really nice and simple to use. It also has the advantage of being the cheapest FTP Client on the Mac App store! https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/ftp-client/id468260663?mt=12

    @Kyle (Hankinson?)

    It’s interesting that people still post here 5 years after the article was originally published. I guess the ‘Notify me of followup comments via e-mail’ option really works! :)

    Actually, the cheapest FTP client is in fact Yummy FTP Lite at $1.99

    Greetings! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a
    theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Thank you!

    I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with
    your blog. It looks like some of the written text in your
    posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and
    let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before. Kudos
