HI there,

I have a few simple websites that I need to start doing more with - up till now I have always used the webshell program included in my host's control panel to upload files, but it seems I can only do them one a time and it is very slow.

Can someone recommend a good FTP app for Mac that I can use to move my files back and forth?

Thanks

Cyberduck
Fugu
I believe both are free.

I use Trasmit however. It costs money but not that much. And it works very well.

A 3rd vote for Tansmit

Also RBrowser http://www.rbrowser.com/ I thinks it's free. CyberDuck is good.

Thanks guys - I will check out Cyberduck and if that will work I will probably stick with it, if not I will try the transmit one.
