FTPing

[Odisey]

Hello,
I am very new here. In the WINs world I used FTP Switch and used Internet Explorer to FTP to a remote server. I tried to use Safari to connect to the server and it said I am not allowed.

Any suggestions for FTPing through a browser?

Thank you,

Odisey

Safari doesn't have a two-directional FTP function. The Finder can provide some basic FTP features, but it sounds like you want FireFTP for Firefox:

...never used it myself, but I've heard it recommended before. There are also a number of free stand-alone FTP programs, and a couple more very good not-free ones (which is what I use when I'm not just using the built-in terminal FTP).

Don't worry about using a browser for FTP.

Cyberduck, a free FTP application for the mac, is everything you need.

Its quick, small, and powerful!

CyberDuck is what you need - loads of people use by it, and really like it.

Am I the only one who uses the Terminal for FTP?

I've downloaded Cyberduck and Fetch, but it seems like it'll take me longer to get the hang of either of them than to upload a few files to my site through the command line.

I recommend Filezilla. No problems with it here, use it all the time.
