Hello all,

I am looking for a good FTP client. I have tried several and none give m what i need. I would like the client to be slip in half, one side to brows the server im connected to and the other to browse my computer. then all i have to do is drag it to the other side to DL it or UL it.

There has to be one out there, I have looked but cant find one.

if you know of one please let me know...

BTW preferably free!!!
 
i would recommend Panic if you are willing to pay the few $$, or Fugu for free.

I used both, and while panic took precedence, I paid for it... i was going to use it, fugu is just as good...
 
I use CuteFTP and the one that comes with Dreamweaver, they work.

But I am interested with Fugu, could you link it please.

Actually, the program is Transmit and Panic is the company that makes it. This is the one I recommend also.

I believe you can use it for free, but just after 15 days the Sessions/Favorites is limited.

Another vote here for Transmit. It's the best FTP app I've used.

True... It has been a while since I used it though as I have to use Absolute FTP on a PC at the moment UGH!... Transmit is the dogs boll**** of FTP clients.

Fugu got a mention on the Mac Geek Gab podcast for good free, open source apps this week.
 
another vote for CyberDuck. its good, nice interface,well featured, and free.
Transmit isnt free anymore is it? it was good when i used to use it.
 
I am a student, and my "website" is a place to have fun messing around with HTML and the like. I have come to love Cyberduck, and it gets my vote. (Check out Smultron if you need a functionality, simplicity and a really good UI in a text editor for the web.)
 
forget all these foolish programs and just use mac os ten's built in ftp browser
finder>go>connect to server
 
Cyberduck is great. I use it for all my ftp needs.

I wish they'd build in a better file browser though. The current one is really bothersome to navigate through. Some web-based CMSes have far better file management than Cyberduck.
