If you frequently use FTP to transer files, I would recommend purchasing Transmit by Panic. It is an awesome piece of software and it's always great to support the developers over at Panic as well. -- Tony

Transmit is great, though it's not free (but worth every penny of the shareware fee). Keep in mind that there's also the Terminal client, if you really need something quick.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Yeah that's a real pain. Considering that's all I need FTP access for it seems.

If you are looking for a command-line solution, definitely fink -> ncftp. -- Tony

Why not save yourself a few quid and use either ftp or sftp from within Terminal.app?

Because there are graphical FTP clients that cost just as little as those and don't require you to learn the command line as well as a bunch of ftp-specific commands.

I don't know much about ftp, but apparently blogger isn't reading my /images folder on the index.html page. My friend said it has something to do with chmod (spelling?) settings? Can anyone shine light on the subject, I have cyberduck and rbroswerlite.

chmod settings are just permission settings to read/write files and folders based on individual users, groups, anonymous users etc. If you have RBrowser Lite. Just pick any file or folder in a viewer window. Choose "Show info" and on the "Attributes" pane it will show who has what privileges with that file or folder. Also, this is just a graphical representation of Unix permission settings ... you can see these permissions in textual form under the permissions column in your RBrowser viewer window.

Thanks for the info!

Unfortunatly I'm still having the same problem.
Blogger publishes to my news.html page.

All the images only work on that page if they're like this:

www.blabla.com/poop.jpg

They don't work if they're like this:

www.blabla.com/images/poop.jpg

Doesn't make sense.
