Best FTP Software for Mac OSX
I'm looking for a new FTP client and would like to hear anyone else's comments or opinions.

I've been using RBrowser Lite 3.0.9.4a. But since I've upgraded to Tiger, I can't drag files from an RBrowser window to download them anymore. I have to select download from the pulldown menu and then it downloads to the desktop without giving me the option of where to download to. Not a huge problem just annoying. Maybe the newest version of RBrowser works properly with Tiger. Does anyone know?

Anyway, I'm looking for a new one. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jay

I definately agree. Transmit is defiantely the best out there. I've tried a couple of others with Fetch coming close, but it just doesn't seem to work as easily.

So, to JayRaney, we should say: get both fetch and transmit and see which one you like.

Transmit Transmit Transmit!

I was a long-time Fetch user, but switched to Transmit last year. Transmit's DockSend feature is the best thing since sliced bread. It has quite a few features that Fetch can't touch. Linked folder navigation. Sidebar. Column view. If the Transmit development team keeps it up, pretty soon, I'll merely have to think about what I want uploaded or downloaded.

Thanks everyone! I used to use fetch way back with OS 7.5 and was happy with it then. I've never heard of Transmit but it seems to have a lot of fans. I will definately take a look at them both. Thanks!

you're welcome.

when you try both, let us (or maybe just me...) know how you like them.
