Cyberduck FTP Updates with Quick Look and More Goodies
Posted by Adam Pash at 6:00 AM on April 22, 2008
Mac OS X only: Free FTP application Cyberduck's 3.0 beta release adds gobs of impressive new functionality to the already excellent client, including Leopard-only features like Quick Look. Other new features include Amazon S3 and WebDAV support, Web URL support (which opens files in your browser from a corresponding URL), and the handful of already impressive features like integration with external text editors. Cyberduck continues to add innovative features that make it a viable contender to even the most popular shareware FTP clients, like Transmit. Cyberduck is free, Mac OS X only; Windows users, check out previously mentioned Filezilla.

Cyberduck is probably the best FTP client I've ever used, for the price. Sure, Transmit's probably better overall, but for those couple of features I can probably do without, it's not worth the money.

I did Check for Update on 3.0b1 and it didn't do a thing. I manually downloaded 3.0b2, though. I upload HTML for a website and use Cyberduck to get it from my HTML editor to the Web.

For those that like a Dual pane window, checkout the free FTP app, Fugu.

Cyberduck is nice, but I need my dual pane window (local and remote) so I'm sticking with transmit.

@matthew: Agreed - I just can't get past the dual-pane look, so I stick with Transmit. But if I hadn't managed to get a copy affordably, I wouldn't consider paying the full retail price for it - no FTP client is worth what, $40? Not when there are incredible alternatives like Fugu and Filezilla for free.
At the same time, I could never really get into Cyberduck. It just reminds me too much of Fetch, without the dual pane window that I like so much.

After taking a quick look at the source code (to see how they implemented quick look) I was very surprised to discover that this app is mostly written in Java. Neat.
