FTP Client - recommendation
I can get to my web-site via parallels and IE but would prefer direct via the Mac. I do nothing more complex than upload a file or series of family pictures so I just want something simple and relaible. Can anyone recommend a straightforward client please? Thanks
Hi, Yummy FTP is a good, though not free program. OS X also has ftp built in straight from the shell. All you really need to do is open a terminal and you can ftp right from there.

Alternative FTP client app on mac
Hi guys
Can you recommend on a good reliable FTP client for Mac? I would like the FTP client to upload files automatically upon saving the file which is a great feature of Espresso but unfortunately I find Espresso's FTP to be a pain to work with.
ThanksIf you check the following article, you will get a list of FTP clients recommended by Business Catalyst
http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/connecting-your-site-using-ftp.html#main_Understanding _FTP_clients
Here is the List of FTP clients for MAC given in the Article:
http://www.cuteftp.com/trial.aspx (Cute FTP)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php (File Zilla)
http://cyberduck.ch/ (Cyberduck)
http://mac.sofotex.com/download-130101.html (SimpleFTP)
Hope this helps. -
Anyone recommend a FTP client that is suited to OS10.9 (Mavericks) please
I am wondering if anyone is able to assist please. It has been a while since I've updated my website (using iWeb) with the last time being prior to the update from Mountain Lion to OS 10.9 Mavericks. Without going into the whole background, I had use "Cute FTP" to assist me but since the update to Mavericks, it has become unusable - it has vanish into the depths of the hardrive in consequence. CuteFTP have not done any updates either so has render the software useless unfortunately. In consequence, could anyone recommend a (free) FTP client which is compatible with OS 10.9 (Mavericks).
Some people have suggested "Filezilla" but the latest version seems to only go as far as OS10.8 (Mountain Lion) and therefore reluctant to down load it. Again, would appreciate any assistance and guidance in the circusmtances. Thank You.There are several that are good. YummyLite is very inexpensive from the App Store. I use Transmit. Cyberduck is a good client and is free.
All three show the FTP server in a Finder like window letting you see what's there and going on.

Recommend a good secure FTP client
I am currently using Fetch 4.0.3 and it works well, but it will not allow me a secure connection. As a result, my password is NOT protected, and my website has been compromised. I have been advised to change my password, which I have done, but still, I can't log on with encryption. Not sure why, but "enable encryption" is grayed out and not available.
Is there a better FTP client that I could switch to. One that will assure a secure connection? What does everyone recommend?Hi Rob--
I'll second the suggestion of Transmit or Cyberduck.
As for Fetch, there's secure then there's secure. Fetch 4.0.3 only supports secure passwords if your server supports the right kind of authentication (Kerberos). Perhaps what the people who were advising you was to use SFTP, which is a kind of secure FTP using SSH, which is very strong if you have a good password.
I'm pretty sure Cyberduck supports SFTP. I know Transmit does, and Fetch 5.0 and later supports SFTP, too.

Cannot configure wrt54gs v6 router for use with filezilla FTP client
I am new to working with FTP and very rusty on networking in general. I just downloaded filezilla to create a FTP client on my desktop. When I run their wizard, it says the connection is tainted by my router. All the forums for filezilla say I need to configure my router to allow traffic on either port 21 (ftp) or a range of ports ( they suggest 50000 to 50100).
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work
thanks in advance
ldygunnerTo answer your other questions, the tutorials have it all wrong. What they really need to explain, but fail to do so, is that the only situation where a FTP client would need to use active mode (the PORT command) is where the FTP server can't accept inbound connections on arbitrary port numbers. But that's a pathological case anyway: the FTP server can always accept connections on some well defined set of port numbers, to keep its own local firewall or NAT router happy. Consequently, there is really no need at all for a FTP client system to open up any ports to support active mode, rather than always operate in passive mode (as browsers do.)
The fact of the matter is that if passive mode works in a browser for you, it will work for Filezilla also.
And the configuration tests it runs are brain damaged. Even though the wizard recommends passive mode, it never tests for it. And it doesn't really test active mode either. What it really tests is whether anything between the client and the server is "transparently" translating IP addresses and port numbers. Such a test is broken, because the mere fact of port numbers being rewritten in TCP packets is irrelevant to whether PORT (active mode) will succeed or fail.
For completeness, in case someone decides to get pedantic, there is a case where a FTP client system would need the active mode PORT command to work, but that case is now of historical interest only. It's a scenario that FTP servers no longer support, for security reasons. (What is it? When the FTP client is operating as a controller to remotely transfer files between two servers: it tells one server to use passive mode, and sends the address/port it gets to the other server in active mode, which in theory would make the second server open a connection to the first. This, in fact, is why two modes, active and passive, were originally defined in the FTP standard!) And it still wouldn't need open ports on the client system.

Hello,
New to iWeb and uploaded my first pages yesterday with good results. However, I have two questions. 1) Seeing the page up and running there were a few things to be changed. Uploading the whole folder again with changes didn´t change a thing on the web page. What am I missing?
2) I am using a Ftp client´s trial period. But there are some free clients out there for Mac. What´s the difference, if any, between them (the free and not so free)? If free ones are ok, which one to use? Ok, that was three questions.

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)Hello,
New to iWeb and uploaded my first pages yesterday
with good results. However, I have two questions. 1)
Seeing the page up and running there were a few
things to be changed. Uploading the whole folder
again with changes didn´t change a thing on the web
page. What am I missing?
Did you republish the folder?
Enpty your browser cache.
2) I am using a Ftp client´s trial period. But there
are some free clients out there for Mac. What´s the
difference, if any, between them (the free and not so
free)? If free ones are ok, which one to use? Ok,
that was three questions.
I recommend Transmit, but I don't think it's free. -
Any opinions on which ftp client has the best "syncronizing" (i.e. only uploading new or updated files and ignoring unchanged files?)
I'm using Transmit right now, and it seems to have that sort of functionality, but I have occasional problems. Are there any other ftp clients that people can recommend?The only issue I found wile using Cute FTP was that when I wanted to Edit a file directly on the server and Save changes it would not allow me to do so. Instead, it would save the temporary file it downloaded while editing.
Anyone else experience this while using Cute FTP? Or is it me just getting used to my iMac.
Yeah, I just switched over from the darkside but I love it. -
i am using Transmit and have a number of "favorites" set up to easily access various ftp accounts. however, i would like to have software that has these favorites also set up in case i have some kind of problem with Transmit. ideally it would be great to easily transfer these favorites to the new program and ideally it would be free but neither of these are necessary.
anyone have any recommendations?

So you are looing for an alternative FTP client. My recommendation would be
Fetch

not free, but surely a trial period? -
FTP client application for smartphone
Hi folks,
I am completely a newbie in J2ME, but familiar with socket programming. I wonder if it is possible to write an FTP client for smartphones... Let me summarize my questions:
1. Is it possible to write an FTP client application using J2ME?
2. If yes, can you recommend any library or API for developing this FTP client for my phone ?
3. Does Mobile Operator needs a special technology to support large file transfers from my phone to any ftp server (I mean GPRS or similar technology)?
Thanks!Thanks for your reply Agyepong. Yes, it more looks like a missing jar issue, as I have all the beans in the deployment descriptor. But the annoying part is that the exception does not tell me which class was not found. Also, one jar that I know I have not included is ibmext.jar, could that be an issue. I just could not find this jar anywhere.
Thanks

Greetings
I'm looking for recommendations about the best, most reliable, freeware ftp client available for OSX.
I need something that's fairly configurable.
Any suggestions?
peace
GregGreg--
You could try Cyberduck. Or there's RBrowser, which does FTP in its free (unlicensed) version.
With OSX, there's always the command line as well. There's an ftp client called, strangely enough, ftp. Type man ftp in the Terminal application to find out more. Also, curl will do ftp. That's very handy to use in shell scripts.
What you end up using will kind of depend on what you mean by "fairly configurable" and what kinds of configuration things you need to be able to do. Good places to start searching are MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

Issue with Ftp Client / Server using Sockets
I have developed a Ftp Client and a Ftp Server. The client Connects to the Ftp Server and sends files to the ftp server. It is a multi threaded server and can have multiple clients connecting to it.
If a client goes down...the server waits till the client comes up
Similarly the client waits if a server goes down and reconnects when the server is again up and running
i am having a strange issue here. When two clients go down and reconnect to the server...They take a long time to connect and transferring of files takes a long time...
Other wise in all other scenarios the duo work properly.
Any feedback and suggestion about this strange issue from all you java gurus out there will be deeply appreciated.

FTP client is not working in active mode
Hi,
I have a ftp issue trying to download iweb files.
My provider enabled me a ftp access.
I tried to connect to it with transmit or rbrowser ftp client (passive mode disabled). The connection works well but i can not retrieve the list of files.
However using my PC and filezilla ftp client in active mode, the connection did work properly.
Any idea to help make this connection work on my mac ?
ThanksPerhaps this will help...
http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
"The main problem with active mode FTP actually falls on the client side. The FTP client doesn't make the actual connection to the data port of the server--it simply tells the server what port it is listening on and the server connects back to the specified port on the client. From the client side firewall this appears to be an outside system initiating a connection to an internal client--something that is usually blocked." -
How can FTP users access my NAS system via FTP client?
I recently purchased a 2 bay, 4TB Buffalo Link Station DUO in order to solve some FTP issues. I have about 50 users outside my LAN that need to connect drop files on my NAS, however nobody seems able to connect via FTP client. If they login using the Web Access Dynamic DNS address they can read and write via their web browser, but it's clunky and slow.
My NAS system has been given the IP adress of 192.168.1.254 which seem to me that it's a local IP adress, not a public/static IP. Do I need to manually assign an IP adress to my NAS system in order fot users to log into that specific IP and go directly to the shared folders on the NAS system?
Thanks in advance!Your NAS is getting that IP because it is behind your Router, which is the normal way to use it and as it should be.
You can not ASSIGN a public IP you your NAS. Only your ISP can do that and usually that incures an extra cost for more than 1 Public IP address. Usually included with a Business account and most of the time only available with a Business account. ISP do not want home owners running FTP or Mail servers on a residential acounts.
As noted you have to forward the noraml FTP port, port 21, in your Router to the IP of the NAS. Since you already have that port forwarded to your Mac, which I have no idea why you did that, you have to either change that port forwarding to the NAS IP or make the FTP server on the NAS respond to some other port and forward that on the router to the IP of the NAS. The to access the NAS FTP server you have to enter the piblic IP address of your router followed with a :and port #. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:22 or whatever port # you assign to the FTP server on the NAS. -
Looking for a specific feature in an FTP Client
Hello!
I am looking for a "simple" feature in any FTP client for OS X.
I have tried Fetch, Transmit, CyberDuck and Interarchy 7.x and none had the ability to throttle uploads/downloads. I work with a limited bandwidth and sometimes have to download files (or upload) in the background but at a very slow speed (because the peer has a poor connection).
None of these nice (and they are nice!) ftp programs can do this. I have to either use wget via the command line (wget --limit-rate=xx) or use Total Commander for Windows inside a Parallels Virtual Machine.
Does anybody know about a Mac FTP client that can throttle and enqueue items easily?
Thanks in advance!Look at "lftp". It as about a zillion parameters that can be set. One of them is "net:limit-total-rate"
Quoted from the Docs....
limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlimited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to avoid this.
Find lftp here lftp.yar.ru It is also in thr Fink archive. http://fink.sourceforge.net/ -
FTP Clients on E72: can't get any to work
Hello again.
So, I've been trying to get FTP Client functionality on my Nokia E72. I guess I'm just doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out.
I tried:
* SIC! FTP (native Symbian App)
* PaderSyncFTP (Java)
* MobyExplorer (Java)
None of the applications work on my E72. They do work however (with the same SIM card) on my Nokia 6120 classic.
The applications seemingly try to connect on the E72, however it never actually initiates a packet data connection at all. As if there wouldn't be an application trying to access the Internet.. I also tried to set up WLAN as my primary access point. Works for everything else, but not for those FTP clients.
I tried several FTP servers on different ports (21, 666, 667). All work on 6120 classic, none work on E72. Also tried to switch from passive to active mode to no avail.
Funny thing is: When I use my PuTTY SSH Client on E72 to just probe an FTP servers port, that works! I can see the connection attempt in my FTP Servers logfile, and I can see the Server responding in PuTTY!! But with the actual FTP clients i never even get out into the network, wether I try to use WLAN or 3.5G..
I'm lost. Everything else works. SSH2 using PuTTY works, Skype works, webbrowsing works.
What could be prohibiting all those FTP clients from initiating a connection?! For MobyExplorer I even tried all of its four "connection modes" that they have for "buggy firmwares". Doesn't make a difference at all.
Also: Those apps never ask for an Access Point on the E72, even if the AP is configured to do so.
I have no idea what to do... Any advice would be appreciated! Maybe it's just some strange configuration issue..
