Cyberduck adds cloud file management improvements

My FTP app of choice, Cyberduck, has updated to version 3.6, and as you can see on the changelog, it's a nice, chunky update. The developers have added in support for Google Storage, made things easier for Amazon S3 users, and added a lot of little features and bugfixes that make the whole experience easier and more compatible with other apps and platforms.

I still like Cyberduck as an app -- a lot of Mac users praise the heck out of Transmit, and it's also a very nice app, but I like supporting open source (and don't mind the free downloads, either). And Cyberduck is still growing -- they just recently announced that a Windows version is coming soon, so if you need to do some FTP'ing on Microsoft's platform, but want a Mac-quality app to do it with, Cyberduck could be the one. That version is in beta now, and should be out for release soon.

Cyberduck, as open source software, is a free download, with the option to make a donation to the hardworking developers over here.

Binfer is a great alternative to FTP. You can send large files directly from computer to computer, without uploading to a server. You can send hundreds of files of any size with a simple drag and drop. Binfer will manage the transfers with auto resumes, encryption, notifications etc. Check it out: http://www.binfer.com

I used it CyberDuck until I bought Transmit and Coda. I agree it's got some great features, and you can't (obviously) beat it on price. I agree with your sentiments. It's a great way to handle FTP; I hope they keep pushing new features.

Don't get me wrong: I paid good money for Transmit from Panic.com, and it's got some great features CyberDuck doesn't, but the company's customer support is absolute crap.

With regret I've stopped using Cyberduck:

If the bookmarks were stored in a location that MobileMe could sync over to multiple macs (i.e. ~/Library/Preferences) I'd go back to using it.

Is there any way using MobileMe to sync bookmarks? ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2085 )

I don't have (or am particularly interested in getting) a DropBox account.

I have been using Cyberduck for years and have even donated to the cause. It is a very powerful app and I wish it continued success and growth.
