Yummy FTP 1.7: The Fastest FTP Client Ever?

Posted by Gregoire on 11/24/07 in Development, Internet, Utilities, Web

Version 1.7 of Yummy FTP, which is - obviously - an FTP client, has just been released by Yummy Software. This application is well-known for its file uploading speed compared to other existing applications.

This new version brings to the application Leopard support and built-in Quick Look functionality, among other enhancements.

Yummy FTP claims to be the fastest FTP client for Mac on the market. In fact, the developer indicates that Yummy FTP is not only faster than other FTP applications like Fetch, Transmit or Interarchy, but it also uses far less CPU cycles. Indeed, they’re 4 times faster than Fetch for transferring 385 files, because it uses only 10% of the CPU, whereas Fetch uses 60% and Transmit clocks in at 100%.

Yummy FTP also has plenty other great features such as :

Failure auto-recovery
Finder FTP uploads
Auto-upload folders
Directory synchronization
Scheduling

My favorites are the Dock Menu (to execute actions quickly without opening the window) and spell-checking in the editor which is very useful. This new release of Yummy FTP brings full-compatibility with Leopard along with ergonomic enhancements to match Leopard’s style. It also adds a very nice feature: QuickLook. Just like Leopard’s Finder, you can now have a preview of remote files in a blink, just by tapping the spacebar. Very useful if you don’t remember what contains a file you uploaded.

Yummy FTP costs $25, although a 30-day trial version is available.

I’ve tested a lot of FTP clients and Yummy is by far the best one.

Ditto here. Best FTP client I’ve used so far and I have test a lot of them. Yummy is flawless for my need. And the dev is very active and dedicated to his app.

I concur…Yummy FTP rocks. It’s the only FTP client that works consistently well w/ my modded Xbox. It’s fast, lightweight and has most of the bells and whistles of the other FTP clients. You can create droplets (called Aliases in Yummy) and the quicklook support is sweet. I highly recommend this.

The 1.7 is even much better, than 1.6 was.

Yummy FTP is the fastest (and in my opinion, overall best) FTP client out there. I really don’t understand why more people use Transmit over Yummy http://FTP.

I’ve tested almost all the FTP clients for Mac, and Yummy is the best by a far margin. Why do people bother with the slower Transmit? If you want the fastest, friendliest, and overall best FTP client, buy Yummy FTP by Yummy Software.
