Cyberduck FTP for Mac

Cyberduck is a great FTP application, here are reasons why you should use cyberduck.

Upload from the widget
Cyberduck has a great widget that lets you upload from your Dashboard. This widget is useful because it’s small enough to stay out of the way, but smart enough to use your existing bookmarks. The widget also looks nice.

Applescript Support
Like many applications, Cyberduck supports Applescript. It even comes with some standard scripts like uploading from iPhoto and uploading screenshots. All of these scripts come bundled with Cyberduck in the Extras folder.

Preferences Galore
Cyberduck provides dozens of preferences for customizing your experience.

You can:

• Change the browser’s appearance
• Save your workspace
• Use Keychain for managing passwords
• Manage how transfers work
• …and much more

Easy Uploads with Drag-n-Drop
Drag-n-drop is one of the fastest ways to upload files with Cyberduck. Generally speaking you can upload files from any application by dragging the files on to the dock icon or the main browser window.

This uploads the selected files to the currently active FTP connection.

You can also drag files onto Cyberduck while its closed. When this is done, Cyberduck reconnects to your latest FTP connection.

Amazon S3 Support
Amazon S3 is a great service for storing and serving information. The idea is you pay as you go, and only pay for what you need. If you need 10MB, fine. If you need 10TB, S3 can handle that as well.

One problem however, is S3 doesn’t support FTP–so S3 clients for OS X (S3 Browser and JungleDisk) are lacking in many ways.

Quick Look With Files
The coolest new features in Cyberduck 3 is quick look support. That’s right, you can quick look remote files on an FTP server with Cyberduck.

Press space on any file and you will see a quick look window pop up nearly instantly.

It’s Free!
The #1 reason to use Cyberduck–it’s free.

Cyberduck is free to use, but if you find it useful consider donating. It takes hard work to create software like this–and the developers deserve to be compensated.

Cyberduck has always been my favorite FTP application. It accomplishes exactly what I need without extra features getting in the way.

That being said, version 3 is faster and added some great features that give the paid alternatives (YummyFTP or Transmit) a run for their money.
