If you find yourself doing any kind of web design or development, you will definitely require an FTP Client. For someone like me, who primarily blogs and maintains a small family web site with pictures it is nice to find a good application that does the job well, but doesn’t break the bank.
Cyberduck (Price $0.00) is just that kind of application. It is an open source FTP client for the Mac. It has a full set of features for most FTP needs and it comes at no charge. I use it to upload file to my host’s sever and to manage those files at the remote location. It has worked very well for me. Cyberduck is under continual development. Recently it has been updated to version 2.8.
I won’t bore you with all of the details, but just to give you an idea of the feature set. Cyberduck supports FTP, FTP/TLS, and SFTP protocols, external editors, integration with OS X, Growl, AppleScript, allows you to bookmark connections to different servers and comes in a variety of languages. Just to name a few.
Give Cyberduck a shot. I think you will like it.
