I need some type of program to be able to upload/delete files from my server. On my PC I use SmartFTP and really like it, can someone suggest something similar?

Thanks in advance.

Transmit. But be careful of the Synchronize.. feature. I wiped out an entire 200GB harddrive because I wasnt careful. And Transmit didnt put up a warning, nor was I able to undelete my files.

I use RBrowserlite, largely because it's free... unlike Fetch or Transmit. I've read good things about Fugu (also free), but have never been able to get it to work. At all...

Google 'em, can't remember links.

command line FTP!!! You don't have to download anything and you can find something similar to it on just about any computer so it's a great thing to learn.

Where could I find more info? Are you referring to ftp.mywebsitename.com in safari?

Nope, I'm talking about ftp in Terminal. Safari would let you download files from an FTP server, but no upload IIRC. Open Utilities --> Terminal and type
> man ftp
without the ">" and you'll see its documentation. That's how I learned, but I'm sure someone else could direct you to a good tutorial if you'd rather do that than read a man page (and I'm aware that many people are like that).
