epochblue macrumors 68000 Mar 31, 2007 #7 FTP is a standard the same way HTTP is a standard. There are plenty of Mac FTP clients out there. The ones that are typically mentioned (and have already been mentioned in this thread) are Cyberduck and Transmit. One that I haven't seen mentioned yet (and that isn't out yet, but looks quite promising) is Flow.
