Hi Paula, I agree that Transmit is worth it, but if you want a free FTP client that is accessible, a number of people use Cyberduck. I'll point you to the download link at the MacUpdate site, since the version at the Mac App store cost $23.99: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8392/cyberduck It's also possible to just use the Terminal app, and type in command line instructions to perform FTP and SFTP operations, but you probably won't want to do that.
Incidentally, an alternative accessible and free thesaurus software application for Mac OS X that you can use is Nisus Thesaurus: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nisus-thesaurus/id471448642?mt=12 This is from the developers of Nisus Writer Pro, an accessible word processor. To use this software, highlight the word that you want to look up, e.g., by holding down the Shift key when you are positioned at the start of a word and then pressing Option+right arrow to select the word. Then either use the shortcut to look up the word in Nisus Thesaurus, which is Command+<, or else navigate to the app on the menu bar with Control+F2 or VO-M, arrow right to the application menu, then arrow down and press "s" to go to the Services option. Right arrow to the Services submenu and navigate to "Look up selection in Thesaurus", which will be listed with the shortcut assignment of Command+<. Either press return to bring up the Thesaurus window for the highlighted word, or use the Command+< shortcut. You can press escape to dismiss the Thesaurus window. The shortcut or the service menu entry for "Look up selection in Thesaurus" will not show up unless you have first selected a wo rd. This works in all the regular applications such as TextEdit, Mail, etc. Welcome to the list. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Dec 17, 2011, at 17:26, Paula Hobley wrote: > I had a look at transmit.
