user-friendly implementations of ssh, sftp, and scp for 10.3?

[beethovengirl]

Hi,

I just got a new iBook G4, so I'm very excited! In Mac OS 9, I was using Nifty Telnet SSH for ssh and scp, and I'd like to know if there's a more user-friendly [i.e. with drag and drop] implementation of ssh and sftp/scp for Mac OS X than Terminal.

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry if this question is answered in Pogue's Missing Manual, but I'm waiting for amazon to deliver it!

You want someting like this?

Edit: Maybe Cyberduck is better...?

Thanks! I didn't even know Apple had a downloads site like that for non-Apple products. Is that some assurance as to the quality of the software?

I don't think Apple guarantees the software (I'm quite sure there's a disclaimer at the download site), but I've never had big trouble with software downloaded from Apple - Mac OS X - Downloads.

PS! You get to the site from the Apple menu at the top left of your screen...

Check out Fugu http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/

Here's the headline from their page, and it looks like they have what you need. "Fugu - A Mac OS X SFTP, SCP and SSH Frontend", it's free too so your can't go wrong.

I'm not quite sure how you could have a "user-friendly" version of ssh that would be any simpler than opening terminal or iterm, given that ssh is a command line protocol. But I agree that Fugu is pretty nice for sftp use.

The best and most flexible program I've found for sftp/scp is gftp - but unfortunately there's not a stable OS X port (it's a Linux/Gnome application). You can get it via fink, and it works well - but it doesn't have quite the same "GUI goodness" of a native app.
