Title: FTP for Mac
Post by: Karimala on September 13, 2009, 16:05

I recently switched to a Mac, and was sad to learn that SmartFTP is only a Windows program.  Since I don't really want to install Windows if I don't have to, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a similar program for Mac that will allow multiple uploads strings at the same time.  I'm currently using ClassicFTP, but it's a serious time waster as it only allows uploading to one place at a time.

Does anyone know of an FTP program for Mac that allows multiple uploads?

I use Transmit.  It'll definitely support multiple concurrent uploads in separate windows.  Alternatively, you might try the ftp command from the Terminal.  I use it from my web provider to upload files to all the sites (except one; you know who you are) at once.

Filezilla allows to make either one long queue for multiple destinations (which I always do); or you can do several in parallel if you have really thick uplink (by opening several instances of the program)

and it's free :)

Transmit is the way to go.

Best one available if you ask me.

Thanks!   ;D

I wasn't impressed with Cyberduck...couldn't figure out how to store site information, and the last thing I want to do is enter URLs and passwords for every site every time I upload.  It would only store info for one site.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't want to spend the time figuring it out.  LOL

Looking at Filezilla and Transmit as we speak, and so far they look very similar to SmartFTP.  Sweet!  Appreciate everyone's recommendations.

Fetch. Been using it for years on my Mac.
