Yummy FTP 1.7: Now Leopard flavored

Cyberduck works fine for me, but I find it very heavy on CPU resources.

Woohoo - it's gone! Thanks, Weblogs IT guys!

Could the guys at Weblogs, Inc. please write a rule in their commenting engine that strips out all comment spam from Spymac morons (comment #4)? These guys post worthless comments in order to send traffic to their page at Spymac.com, and Spymac pays a huge amount to whomever gets the most hits. I'm sick of seeing this crap across the Weblogs properties...

9. I have nothing against any of the Mac ftp clients, but it's embarrassing that ftp (read/write) isn't native in the Finder.

AMEN BROTHER!!!! WHY CAN"T THEY!!!! Theres that freaking MACFUSE, but that barely works. JUST ADDED (s)ftp WRITE ability to the finder! Linux and windows have it, why can't we!

Apparently thats a known issue, and there are cures for it. I believe they involve the advanced prefs ( opt ,)

Yummy FTP is a fabulous FTP client. I definitely rank it in the top 3 best Mac FTP clients with Fetch and Transmit. I also own Fetch, but I think that Yummy is better in many ways. It's just easier to have the two paned interface and it has more advanced features.

for casual FTP use you cant beat the following:


1-CyberDuck http://cyberduck.ch/

2-OneButtonFTP http://onebutton.org/

I have recently unlocked the Transmit Trial version. It is totally worth the money. I love Transmit. It's probably the best FTP application. I tried Cyberduck, but it was annoying me.

One reason that I use YummyFTP over Transmit is that I've had very poor luck with Transmit uploading thousands of files without getting hung up over the years. Uploading web applications (like OSCommerce, Joomla, etc) requires thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of files to be transferred, and numerous times Transmit will fail, and fail, and fail... AND it's a bit slow when uploading hundreds of files. YummyFTP is very fast, and does not suffer from the same glitch that transmit has.

Additionally, the bookmarks that YummyFTP saves are actual files that can be referenced in your library. Add that bookmarks folder to Quicksilver's catalog, and you've got instant no-click access to your favorite bookmarks.

Finally, the little details keep my hanging with YummyFTP, excellent support & frequent updates (and fast compatibility updates) easy suffix mapping, color labeling of remote files. excellent folder synchronization & the ability to create sharable FTP bookmarklets without sharing your user/pass... awesome stuff.

I have nothing against any of the Mac ftp clients, but it's embarrassing that ftp (read/write) isn't native in the Finder.

Come on Apple!

Yeah Big John, Cyberduck does its job, and is free.

2. I'm surprised at the number of people who still use FTP, or rather, the number of hosts that allow only FTP when SFTP is much more secure.

It can also do SFTP.
