Safari FTP??

[crazyjoeda]

Iv been trying to use safari to access my website via ftp. I type in ftp.mysite.com and it comes up with a username and password forum, but when I log in I can't transfer files. What can do ??

you will need an ftp programme. i use cyberduck http://cyberduck.ch/ it is free and seems pretty good! well it does everything i would ever want!

I don't believe ftp is supported in safari, but last time I tried it I received the login dialog and after it was accepted, there was a new disk drive on my desktop. I think I was able to put files but not get files through the finder.

FTP IS supported in Safari, kinda. What it does is mounts its to your desktop just like a shared folder or network connection. It's pretty spiffy. Might want to make sure if you are passive FTP or not. That may make a diff on your server.

That's a big kinda. All it does is call on the FTP built into Finder. Personally, I ftp via the terminal.

I use Transmit. It's quite possibly the best client I've ever used (even better than CuteFTP). Also has a spiffy dashboard widget 😀

Right, but not eveyone likes command line to FTP. It's very visually easy.

I meant is was a "big kinda" because it is not really FTP via Safari, but rather FTP via finder.
