Cyberduck 3.0




There are lots of great FTP clients out there for Mac OS X, but my favorite is Cyberduck (if only because the icon is so darned cute). Recently Cyberduck 3.0 was released, and it brings with it a bunch of neat new features, including:
  • Support for WebDAV
  • Support for Amazon S3 (that's Amazon storage cloud service)
  • Bookmark searching
  • Quick Look for files in the Cyberduck browser (this is pretty cool)
The UI has also gotten a lift, and I must say it is pretty snazzy. Overall, this is a great update to a very good app.

Cyberduck is free, but donations are encouraged.

Update: The previous picture was of version 2.x. Sorry about that!

I am a member of the media attempting to use cyberduck to download fron NewsMarkets FTP server. No matter what the file size (uncompressed video can be pretty large) the download is stopping around 40MB (give or take) and then says the file is complete even though I can see next to my green icon: 41.8MB of 618.8MB. What is going on!?

I'd love to recommend Cyberduck. I can't.

Firstly, I find that it corrupts files too often. I transfered a large gallery site and more than half the images were corrupted.

Secondly, I'd love to recommend its "arrowheaded" navigation because it is neater than Fetch's rigid single window but I find it is far too easy to move files about by accident even lose directories in this way.

That aspect needs to be tunable. Yup, a bit slow too.

I always have a problem with Cyberduck not remembering past FTP addresses. It rememebers the previous one but no others.

Does anyone else experience this ?

I happened to update to Cyberduck 3 last night. The connections are usually stellar, but it choked and died on me twice. Its virtually unusable. And its been getting progressively worse with each update for about a year now.

I will be investigating alternatives. Transmit was always good to use.

Scott, you should never start a review off by saying "if only because the icon is so darned cute" and expect to be taken seriously. Just a tip.

I am in need of using an app like this. Are there any pros or cons to Cyberduck or Transmit?

Let me break it down for ya!!

Transmit is $30 Cyberduck is free (and open sourced)
Thats really Cyberducks upside besides ease of use...

Transmit has a built in editor (but i'd love syntax coloring...), Two panel layout, is faster and I think is a better program..

I am ALL for open source and I feel bad that I like transmit so much more...

Transmit really is an awesome app and has a proud spot in my Dock!!!

I definitely love the new UI and removal of the side drawer. All you have to do is switch on the bookmarks-icon to access either connections or connected ftp root, pretty obvious.

But i do wish it was faster with starting an upload and download. Why does it take so long in order to proceed a down or upload? (i'm not talking about the speed itself once it actually is uploading or downloading. That is dependant on your own internet connection)

Forklift the best. I never had an FTP which was as nice as this one. I used XP a long time and tried a lot of ftp-apps and on OSX a lot of them sucks... slow and not really suitable to handel drag and drop and so on...and forklift is the only one which got this nice toolbar on the left side... grown up!

I tried Cyberduck's previous version and it always stopped transferring files larger than 2GB to my iPhone (like wikipedia). I went to Filezilla and made the transfer "high priority" and it worked like a charm.
