Mac FTP Client Round Up

Posted by Scott | March 10, 2007 .

Not a day goes by that I dont have to log into my FTP client so I decided to do a quick round up of a few of the available FTP applications for OS X.

    You are forgetting the longest living transfer client for mac (1993 ffs :) , Interarchy:

    http://nolobe.com/interarchy/

    If you are like me, you use certificates based logins (SSH/SFTP) and you’ll be glad to know that Interarchy supports this too. Else is nice terminal / editor interaction wich is nice for the work I do.

    Thanks for that Raku,

    I haven’t actually heard of Interarchy before. I will definitely check it out, I like how it looks similar to the Finder.

    Check out ForkLift at www.binarynights.com. It’s a brand new app with built in FTP/SFTP client.

    I fell in love with ForkLift, sooooooooooo fast. And it is a file manager too.

    Thanks for the recommendations; I’ve been hearing good things about Forklift. I have it downloaded but haven’t had a chance to really check it out yet, hopefully I can play around with it in the next few days.
