Cyberduck Help / Howto / Upload

See also Transfers in general.

File Chooser Dialog

Select File → Upload... to select files to upload. There is also a toolbar button available that you can add using View → Customize Toolbar....

Using Drag & Drop

• Just drag the file from the Finder.app to the browser window.

• Upload files without first opening a connection to a server by dropping the file(s) onto a bookmark item in the bookmark drawer.

Note that dragging files is not limited to the Finder.app, but also works i.e. with attachments Mail.app or any other application supporting file promises.

• Drag files to the application icon in the Dock which will upload to the frontmost browser. A prompt is displayed to choose the bookmark to upload the files to (with the bookmark of the current browser selected by default if any).

Using Copy & Paste

Copy a file in the Finder.app with Edit → Copy and paste it to a browser window in Cyberduck to upload with Edit → Paste.

The Services menu

When selecting files in the Finder or another application with references to files and folders, choose the item Services → Upload (with the Cyberduck icon) in the application menu to launch Cyberduck and upload the items selected to the bookmark you choose. This action is also available in the context menu (right click on files or folders) in the Finder.

Preferences

Transfers → General → Uploads → Upload with temporary filename

An option to upload with temporary name and rename file after transfer is complete. An upload that is not complete, will not be renamed. This is useful for uploading to watch folders, that should only pick up a file once the upload is complete. To specify a different temporary filename pattern, use the hidden configuration option

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck queue.upload.file.temporary.format "'{0}-{1}'"

where {0} is the original filename and {1} is a random UUID. The default setting uses a temprary filename of filename-uuid.
