Confirmation: of the TiVo download (yesterday's news) and DirecTV dropping TiVo (isn't that last year's news, almost?).

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
What's a good free FTP program for Mac? I've been using Cyberduck, but the latest version has some major bugs in it.
FTP services are built into the finder in OS X. Under the "go" menu in the finder do a connect to network and just use "ftp://" and it will open in a regular window. For more stuff I use Fetch but that's not free.

How long has that been there?
FTP services have been in the finder since the beginning of OS X but they were more limited until 10.2 or 10.3.
And here I was, using command-line ftp all this time....

I'm getting "error #43" when I do this.
That's odd. Are you perhaps behind a firewall that is messing with FTP services.
I did some googling for "error 43 ftp mac" and came up with several references to "error -43" in this context. Is that in fact the error number, MINUS 43?
If so, this says Error -43 is File Not Found:
One instance where this esoteric knowledge becomes practical is in conjunction with MacsBug's error command, which returns a short description of cryptic Mac OS error numbers. If a program complains that "an error -43 occurred" you can identify the error number by popping into MacsBug, typing "error #-43", and pressing Return:
$FFD5 #-43 fnfErr - File not found
The application is telling you it tried to open a file, but couldn't find it. Depending on the program, this might be caused by a missing extension, plug-in, or document, but at least it gives you something to go by.
Offhand, I'm wondering if spaces in the filename aren't the culprit.

Nope (at least, not one that's ever blocked any other FTP programs I've used). My guess is that Apple moved the built-in FTP somewhere else in Tiger, as they seem to have done with a lot of things.
Off to Google, then...
