Okay Techistas,

Does anybody know of a freeware FTP program for Mac OSX? I need to check the FTP procedures for my office, and I need a program that can help me do that.

Anybody?

Which version of OSX are you running? FTP is built into Tiger (under Go-->Server, you can enter an ftp address).

The program I love isn't free, but it's cheap, and worth it.

It's called Fetch. I've been using it for years and love it.

Urgh. I don't know which version. How do I check?

Under the Apple menu, "About This Mac."

Cyberduck is free, but I'm not a huge fan of the interface. CaptainFTP has a 30-day free trial version, but I agree with ND that Fetch is the way to go if you end up paying for anything.

Of course, I was looking in the wrong place. I'm using version 10.3.9. How does that translate into big cat breeds?

You have panther. You can also FTP from panther.

You can use Fetch for free for 15 days.

Does Safari do ftp upload and download? I use Konquerer for FTP on Linux and it is related to Safari.

You have panther. You can also FTP from panther.

Same thing as with Tiger -- from the finder: Go --> Connect to Server?

You can use Fetch for free for 15 days.

I may try that. We don't need to use the FTP site so much as I need to be able to help the guys at the post houses use it, if necessary (which I doubt, I'm sure both post houses have technically savvy peeps who can use FTP just fine on their own).
