What a very bad poll, you can't even choose "none of the above"!
I use osXigen of course, from JomoSoft.

where's ncftp?
That's the one I always use (it's a terminal app by the way)

i used to use transmit... but when transferring big files... it'd always quit unexpectedly before being finished.... so i tried fetch for the first time in x... and it worked flawlessly. guess that's the way i'll go from now on

I added none-of the above...
of course results won't be accurate... but they never were... :)

Captain FTP is missing, a big oversight as this is an awesome program.
Its free registration for non-commercial use as well.

me 2. something nice and simple about the interface. not many shareware apps i've paid for either, most you use for a while and go 'nah' but transmit 'just worked' so i paid.

i really like the user interface of transmit. Fetch was great for me under os 9, but if i remember correctly, they seemed a little slower to market (the os x market, that is) than transmit.

i imagine transmit was nearly all carbon and thus quick to port to OS X

fetch has had a great program for OSX since OSX was released...one or two bugs to work out, however it has been up and running beautifully for some time.
free educational license, and you can't beat the program, your basic simple ftp...drag & drop, wonderfully done. I probably will only use terminal as my alternate ftp program (ever)

im sorry but I'm going to have to agree with the guy above, ncftp rocks, and its free. why download some oversized gui when ncftp is already there?? heh oh well each to their own i guess...

Am I the only person using good old "ftp"? OSX's could be better, I've seen some other version (FreeBSD I think?) that have tab completion - mmmmmm...
Yeah, I guess I'm one of those switchers from other unix platforms (does cygwin count? :) )
