“Feature rich FTP client for Mac”

by Cyril Roger

Cyberduck is a free FTP client with a simple GUI that makes it very easy to handle your uploads and downloads.

The client handles FTP, SFP, Webdav and Amazon S3 transfers. Adding a new connection is very simple and only takes a couple of seconds. You can also drag and drop bookmarks to and from your Finder. Cyberduck lacks a proper bookmarks drawer though, something available in previous versions. All in all though, the interface is easy to use and will probably be well suited to first time users.

You'll find that Cyberduck is compatible with most external editors like BBEdit, TextWrangler or TextMate.

One major complaint coming from Cyberduck users is that FTP login and transfers can be a little slow. Obviously this is a bit of a drawback as transfer speeds is one of the main benchmarks of FTP clients.

Despite the slow transfer speeds, Cyberduck is a simple and clear FTP client. What's more it's a very good open source program.
