FTP client

Try Cyberduck

 

I'm gunna go ahead and second this. I have been using cyberduck daily for all my ftp needs, and it is a great little app.

 

Cyberduck is a great option. If you want something with a dual-pane view, you might look into Fugu.

That said, I prefer Cyberduck over Fugu.

 

I assume you're aware that the "Go" menu in the Finder is essentially an FTP client. (Connect to Server...)

 

True, you could use that, but the Finder's implementation of FTP leaves a lot to be desired...

 

Not sure what you mean.

 

There are certain things the finder cannot do with FTP. I don't remember exactly what, but I remember hearing it was crippling enough to warrant not even trying it and going with a 3rd party client.

 

Indeed. Finder can only mount FTP as read-only volumes, which is pointless if you need to upload any files to your server.

 

That's exactly what I mean. IMO, if you're only going to allow read-only mounting of FTP drives, why even build it into the system?
