Switched To Mac But Now I Can't Get My FTP Program To Work Can Anyone Help?

17 replies
As this is my first site (and first Mac) I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I am also round a friends house temporarily and don't know whether it's their router (wireless broadband)

Can anyone help?

I'm using firezilla


Thanks!

    Cyberduck is my FTP app of choice as well.

    There are others, but I think you'll be happy with the duck.

    What is it doing? Are you getting any error messages?

    Do you use Firefox? I use a plugin called FireFTP. It's the only FTP program I will use.

    Thanks for the input John Kennedy.

    I don't use firefox,

    Both Filezilla and Cyberduck say it's a login problem. But I'm sure I'm using the correct 'info' (password and username is correct for sure)

    I have a Mac. If you want to send me a PM with the details on the account, I'd be happy to try it here and see if it works on this end.

      I love Fetch.

      Or Filezilla.

      Cyberduck worked for me for a few months then just randomly stopped.

    Fetch - I have used it for seems like over 10 years....

    Fetch Softworks

    You can get a free version ...

    No, Mac is NOT a problem. Mac is 10x better than Windows.

    Go use Firefox and use "FireFTP" as your add-on.

    Actually that is the best investment the OP could have ever made... I do not recall this being a Mac vs windows thread either. The OP asked about ftp , if you cannot contibute to the thread then why post ????

    It costs a little bit of money, by Transmit is an awesome little ftp program for the Mac.

    I've used Yummy FTP for the past few years. Silly name but its comfortable. I tried all the others but none stuck. Transmit is powerful, as chrisfx pointed out -- for example, it and RBrowser are the only ones that do real server to server transfers. Interarchy is worth a mention but its hard to grasp.
