    Anyone know of a Mac FTP client?

    Anyone know of a Mac FTP client that doesn't suck? Ones I have tried thus far and seem to get repeated (and frustrating) hang ups and slow transfer speeds are:

    - CuteFTP Professional
    - BulletFTP
    - Cyberduck
    - Captain FTP
    - Dreamweaver built-in FTP (no surprise here)
    - OneButtonFTP
    - Fugu FTP

    I'm kind of at a loss and VERY close to just installing VMWare Fusion and Windows for two reasons: FTP & a half-decent Mud Client
    Sure, I got a secret. More 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Titan colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off-home early. Minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

    Go to Sourceforge and do a quick search or browse. You'll find some good ones there.

    I've been using Fetch. Works quite well for what I need

    Course you can also try finding a Linux client that you want to try, and get the source code, and see if it will compile. Unless it is uses some specific libraries and implementing things in a unique way, the code should generally compile.

    Transmit and Interachy are widely regarded as excellent FTP clients, though they're both shareware.
