Another piratical tool: Captain FTP

We're all talking like pirates today, savvy? Best way to stay clear of Davy Jones' Locker is to have a sure way of gettin' ta yer treasure, like maybe a map, or a compass, or perhaps a shareware FTP client. We be downloading Captain FTP even now.

The Captain keeps a pretty tight ship, despite all the plundering and pillaging; in fact, in version 5.0, he's got a handy local LAN version of FTP, extremely useful for transferring files 'tween the crow's nest and the poop deck. Built-in file viewers and easy transfer acceleration top off the treasure chest.

Captain FTP be $25 doubloons, and ye have a fortnight of demo time before ye puts the cash on the barrel of grog.

Thanks Tom.

Besides MacFUSE, there are two great free FTP clients -- Cyberduck and Filezilla.

What does CaptainFTP provide over and above the free FTP clients?

Captain FTP has a horrible interface, in my opinion. Your money would be better spent on Panic's Transmit.
