Title: ftp software
Post by: david o on March 18, 2008, 09:33:59 pm: I know it is not too much related to MF but in a way it can,

I am looking for a FTP software to upload files to different server. I tried Transmit but the max upload speed I can get is way way slower than my internet upload speed. my internet speed is ok, I called Mac and from them it's the software.

What do you guys use?

I did download and start to upload. Way better. It keep up with a good upload speed for few minutes then the speed start to drop and so far stay steady but not as fast as what it suppose to. Seems ok though.

Better soft than Transmit... so far...

Good Luck!

Surely you should show national loyalty and use the Swiss (Cyberduck) product.

Post by: plugsnpixels on March 19, 2008, 07:49:46 pm: I second Transmit (http://www.plugsandpixels.com/transmit.html), which is great for uploading as well as managing your server files (deleting, renaming, rearranging, etc.).

But also check out Ambrosia Software's cool Dragster (http://www.plugsandpixels.com/dragster.html), which resides in your Dock. Just drag files from the Finder onto it and they fly into any folder you have bookmarked on your server.

Post by: mikeseb on March 20, 2008, 08:10:26 pm: Another vote for Transmit. I've never found it to be slow at all. Cyberduck is also good.

Post by: jonstewart on March 20, 2008, 08:41:25 pm: I'm going to try transmit. I tried cyberduck and it caused all sorts of lags and hung my brand new MBP (ie Leopard, fully updated)

Anybody else have the same problem?

Post by: david o on March 20, 2008, 09:44:26 pm: Transmit has a good UI, the thing is that I noticed it doesn't keep up with upload speed. So far from my try Captain FTP is the one that provides the best upload speed.

All the other don't. So I don't know.

So performance I would say Captain FTP, UI I would say transmit.

Right, but I found Transmit to be faster than Cyberduck. But all is not lost, on customer's Macs I usually install Cyberduck when they ask me for a ftp application.
