FTP clients – Two alternatives

When it comes to FTP clients, there are two good choices for Mac OS X. One is free and one is not, but it is not expensive.

Transmit

Transmit is another great FTP application for the Mac. It costs $29.95 which is a rather good price considering what you get. However, check what your needs are – if you are just going to download and upload files to a server, Cyberduck is probably enough.
