Is there a built in ftp program in OS X? Or do I have to download Fetch or something similar.

Are there any decent ftp clients which are free out there?

OS X comes with a command line FTP program that you can use in Terminal. CyberDuck is a pretty good free (GUI) client. Fetch is free if you're a student, and it's my favorite client. There's also RBrowser Lite as well as Fugu. Both of those are free.

Cyberduck is good for a free one, my favourite is Transmit. Not free, but the best FTP for Mac IMO.

I use [font=Courier New]ftp[/font] in Terminal, but there's also the free mode of RBrowser (formerly RBrowser Lite).

Thanks guys. I've tried Fetch and Cyberduck.... Cyberduck seems to do the job well (for free too).

Is there somewhere where I can learn the unix commands for using the ftp in Terminal. I guess it's time I started to learn this stuff.
