I need to write a document recommending FTP clients to our users, but I have no idea what the best alternative is on Mac. It needs to be free and relatively easy to use.

I can google up the most popular alternative, but you know... Popular isn't always best. I'd rather get some recommendations from actual people.

Any ideas?

That's an awesomely awful name.

Thanks for the tip!

I use FileZilla since it's available for OS X, Linux and Windows.

Probably Cyberduck however Transmit is so worth the money. It's such a polished app.

Not a Mac user but my school's Macs all use Fetch.

Spotlight -> Terminal -> ftp -> enter


If you're wanting to be real fancy, use iTerm like I do, it's a bit more robust than Apple's own Terminal.

No fuss, no muss.

I like mine to be über fancy. I use Transmit, but that's not free...unle...ahem.

Mac has a command line? :O

Yeah Cyberduck has a clean simple UI so it should be easy to use by newbies.

I was about to say the same thing, even if I primarily use Transmit for sheer convenience.

Someone here knows the drill.

Cyberduck AND Fetch both here at work, but I still default to Terminal (sometimes). :lol

I mainly use ftp (and sftp) from the terminal but one thing I wanted to know is how do you put up a directory in either of the programs (it doesn't happen often but can be a pain since I don't know how :/)

To answer the question wrt fancy programs, I've used cyberduck, transmit, and fetch (and fugu on sftp end) and I like transmit the most of the bunch.

BTW, is there any particular reason for having (I'm interpreting that as owning) both Transmit and Fetch?
