This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

CuteFTP drives me nuts. I ended up buying WSFTP for my PC. Haven't settled on something for the Mac yet -- still use commandline here.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Have you tried Cyberduck? I have not. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm morally opposed to spending $ on an FTP program. Dunno why - it just seems to me that FTP programs should be free.

On the Mac, I really used to like Fetch when it was free....sigh.

Well, it passes the "cute name" test. Open source too.

support for many Mac OS X system technologies such as Spotlight, Bonjour, the Keychain and AppleScript.

Cool. I'll have to give it a try.

What's Bonjour?

Um.

Filezilla for the PC does everything I've needed: [link]

I get fucking tired of the typing. And I do a lot of updating of all those provocateuse sites -- not only do I need to be able to keep locations in synch, I need to be able to quickly navigate directory trees and identify the next available filename in a sequence.

So I mostly do that work from the PC. But now I'm going to try the duck. Thanks, DCJ!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cyberduck broke every website I uploaded files to. (The same files, uploaded via Cpanel's file manager, worked fine. Uploaded via Cyberduck, they broke the site.) So I stopped using it.

I'm a fan of Transmit.

God, I am so used to command line ftp that anything else seems painful and whacko (unix solaris and linux. It's the butter for our bread in this business.)
