If you've used Transmit, well, Fugu's UI will look like a substandard ripoff.
Sorry.
Sorry.

sorry to say, but Transmit's layout is far from original - shades of Fetch and countless PC FTP apps that predate it
both are nice programs tho, I use Fugu for simple jobs because it is simply much faster than Transmit and it uses my SSH keys
Transmit (which I registered) I keep around for FTP and more complicated SFTP jobs since Fugu can't handle some things Transmit does

Transmit's had this ability for a long time. After fooling around with about 15 different FTP apps for the last year, Transmit is the best. Transmit still has some limitations (like stopping when it runs into an icon) but overall, is much better than other applications.

I don't mind that, since I didn't think much of Transmit's interface in the first place.

Transmit is by far not the first to use that paradigm for display of local and remote systems, and will not be the last.
Fugu is very capable, is ridiculously faster than Transmit, and, best of all, is completely free.

I haven't tried transmit yet, but I really like the way this software uses my SSH public/private keypairs automatically.
I'm using the excellent SSHKeychain application, so my keys are available immediately after login. I can launch Fugu and tell it to connect to 'foobar' (or whatever) and it does two nice things:
1. It looks up 'foobar' in my .ssh/config file
2. It logs in using the key in my SSH Keychain agent.
Effectively, I just type 'foobar' and I'm in. Very nice. The only thing that would improve this is if Fugu read my config file and displayed my various 'aliased' hosts for me, without having to recreate favorites.
I guess I'll send them an email, then go try transmit.

Sorry, without a date column in the file listings this application is not merely unworthy of recommendation, it's downright dangerous.
It's way, way, way too easy to accidentally nuke an incorrect version of a file, whether you mean to backload a new version of a file or revert to an older one.
Also, I wrote to the development team using an email address on their web site and they didn't write back. Hey, developers, don't publish your email address if you aren't going to do your customers the courtesy of a response.
The best secure file transfer app out right now is MacSFTP. The best free secure file transfer app is CyberDuck <http://icu.unizh.ch/~dkocher/cyberduck/>

Just for your information, they replied to me within 24 hours. And btw, if you go to 'View', 'Columns' and enable 'Date Modified' you'll get a column with the date.

Sorry, but when I had an issue with it (it quit in Panther on launch), an email with the text from the crash log, and they responded with a new build (I believe.) within the day.
.because you didn't know what you were talking about.
Fugu displays the dates on all directories and files just fine.
Also, all of the Research Systems UNIX Group is extremely responsive to email, active on lists, and very accessible.

Ah, but there must be something to this, because I just connected to a machine in the next room with FUGU, to move a certain folder I knew was there. It's the newest, so it should sort to either the bottom or top of a list, depending on what I choose.
Dates are displaying, but not properly. The folder I need is listed without the year, just the month and day, and that means it gets sorted in the midst of all other months of this year, but . not in chronological order. Not alphabetical, either. Fugu sorts files from last December, then last October; after those appear my folder from this February, and, after that, a number of files that are listed with month, day AND year. All files except the February ones are from 2003 or earlier. This happens when I choose to sort 'date descending' by clicking the Date column head in Fugu.

There is a small bug in Fugo but it is not as bad as you think. Fugo displayes the year, month and day if the date is older than one year, otherwise month, day and time, which kind of makes sense.
But if you sort by date, all files/folders older than one year are sorted in descending order, the younger files/folders in ascending order (or vice versa depending on which way your triangle is facing). That is slightly confusing, and it results in the newest files being always shown in the MIDDLE of the list at the boundary between the more-than-one-year-old-files/folders and the younger ones.

i might not have the newest version, but it doesn't handle certain filenames (looking at my mp3 directory shows some weird names like crystal method - with no album name)

i jsut filed a bug report, and teh authors got back to me, and are gonna fix the problem in the next version
I'm sure most of you already know this, but I though I'd mention it so this is clear.
sftp uses ssh to transfer files, not ftp. sftp does not contact a remote ftp server. The interface it presents looks a lot like ftp, but the underlying work is being done by an ssh daemon.
Just so you know that you're not FTP'ing files around. And that you can't use sftp to download files from your favorite anonymous ftp site. https://fuouue.weebly.com/blog/flight-sims-for-mac.

I would like to transfer whole directories via a secure connection, and what I've been told sftp does not support this. Is this correct and is there a way around it?
You see, I update maybe six files in different directories, and navigating to all these directories can be a pain, it is so much easier just to copy the whole website to the server (I mean, what are a few megabytes among friends, i.e. with broadband).
Or is the best solution to use the syncronize feature of clients like Transmit, which should work over sftp?

You should check out rsync -- it's the utility for transferring only the changes in the most efficient manner possible. Saves time and bandwidth. It can use ssh to secure the connection -- maybe that's what Transmit does.
There's a Aquafied front-end for it called RsyncX. https://fuouue.weebly.com/blog/backup-hard-drive-for-mac.

Used to use Fugu in my lab, but now use Cyberduck as it supports regular FTP for those still stuck using it. I do have SFTP as default though. Anyways, Cyberduck is a nice GPL'ed app that is worth checking out.
Fugu: A nice graphical front-end to sftp and more.
This is a nice piece of work -- it plays well with SSHKeychain, which MacSFTP doesn't, so I can authenticate really quickly. The only gripe I have (suggestion for developers!) is that, although you can set SFTP defaults in preferences, you can't do the same for SCP. I don't know about you, but for the most part when I do SCP I do it to a single 'drop box' so that I know where to go and sort things out later. When I SFTP, though, I could be going anywhere. So an SCP default would actually be more useful.
WinSCP for Mac is not available officially, so you cannot use it until it is officially released for the platform. However, there are other tools, each better than the other, that you can use for the same functionality as WinSCP! In this article, we have mentioned all these WinSCP alternatives for Mac that you can use as FTP clients and File Managers.
Let’s get started!

- 2 8 Best Alternatives to WinSCP for Mac
What is WinSCP?
WinSCP is one of the most popular open source SFTP clients and File Managers out there. Because of its simple interface, text editor, and most operations with files and their transfer, it is beloved by many users. Everyone wants their files to be managed efficiently and a client like WinSCP does it perfectly. It supports tons of transfer protocols, such as FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, WebDAV or S3.

8 Best Alternatives to WinSCP for Mac
So here are the Best alternatives that you can use on your Macbook.
Download Fugu For Mac
1. FileZilla
FileZilla is an open source software that is fast and efficient and works extremely well as an FTP client, among other things. It is regularly updated and is extremely secure when it comes to file transfers. FileZilla is especially advisable for you to get if you wish to have large file transfers over your network, which it is able to handle better than other FTP clients.
It does not support the feature of scheduling your transfers, so you have to do it in real time. The interface isn’t that great. However, if you don’t mind a mundane interface, you should go for it. One of its highlights is the QuickConnect feature, that just proves how fast FileZilla can connect to the servers.
We highly recommend FileZilla for replacing WinSCP for your Mac, as it will satisfy pretty much all your file transfer needs. Get it here.
2. Transmit
Transmit is again a fan favorite when it comes to FTP clients for Mac. This popular FTP client and File Manager has been designed specifically for Mac and is super elegant and smooth. Where FileZilla lacks in the interface, Transmit makes up for it with an aesthetic and user-friendly interface. Transmit also has a pretty fast and satisfactory speed of transfers. It can also be integrated with Spotlight and Finder in your Mac, making file transfers even easier.
It has a drag and drop design for files to make transfers simpler and easier, supports transfers across multiple tabs, and is packed a lot more features. However, users have complained Transmit to be unstable sometimes, so we would not advise you to use it to transfer sensitive files unless you have a backup.
Get Transmithere.
3. Cyberduck
Cyberduck is highly popular among users who want a fast and efficient transfer of files to and from a server on a regular basis. It has a decent interface, can perform pretty all FTP tasks you may require it to do and can handle FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and S3 transfers.
One of the highlights of this free tool is that it can be linked conveniently with editors and Dropbox. However, it is also worth noting that users have reported problems when transferring on SSL connections. And yet, users find Cyberduck extremely simple to use, especially while creating a new connection.

It provides presets for certain protocols, supports schedule transfers, accelerated transfers, and so much more! However, nothing is perfect, and Captain FTP https://mdswyy.weebly.com/blog/spotify-light-mode-mac. here does not support transfers over 2GB. App for instagram mac.
