Cyberduck: SFTP is easy as drag and drop

We all know we can use terminal and the shell for ftp and sftp but what apps are there with a GUI?

There is only one worth looking at: Cyberduck.

I’ve been looking for a good FTP/SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer) client for OS X for a while and have tried Fugu which is good but a bit flakey at times. Cyberduck seems the best SFTP client for OS X.
Cyberduck is open source and has a ton of features.

Warning: FTP is inherently insecure. Passwords and file contents are sent as clear text and can easily be intercepted (especially on WiFi networks). SFTP is almost always a better choice.

The interface is easy to use and drop and drag work like a charm. Bookmarking is also well implemented. The ability to sync folders is also amazingly useful. On top of this applescript is also supported- I know I’m gushing a little – but i think this is a great program.

Cyberduck: Keeping track of downloads is easy too…

Highly recommended- download and donate
