Your FTP client

[jwolf6589@…]

I have been using Fetch for sometime and although its nice and a great client I was in a way looking and testing the waters of other FTP clients. In my string today I gave the following clients a try.

CyberDuck Yummy FTP Transmit CuteFTP Interarchy

CyberDuck did not work on my Mac and requires Leopard to run which I think is a very dumb thing to force older Macs out, and so I was unable to test that client. Yummy FTP seems like it has allot of features, however it was a bit sluggish with opening folders when compared to the other clients. Transmit was the fastest of the FTP clients and the easiest to use. However its lacking a number of features found in Yummy, & Interarchy. CuteFTP I am told is the most advance FTP client, yet I was unable to get it to run properly and so I ditched the client.

The best in my opinion was Interarchy which had many features, ran very fast and was a overall great Mac FTP client. I hope they don't follow the path of CyberDuck and require Leopard in future releases. One of the joys of Fetch is that it works on a wide variety of Macs and is powerful.

Well that is my rundown.
