Actually,
I'd have to look, but I kind of recall seeing transmit in the app store.
I'd have a look, as last I recall, I kind a do remember seeing it there
vaguely.

Subject: Re: ftp client for the mac
Hi Caitlyn, The best FTP program I've used is transmit. I don't
believe its available on the app store. Just do a google search for
it. Its very VO accessible, and you can upload and download. One thing
I like about it, during a download it not only gives you a percentage
but also time remaining.

You can't upload with it either which I'm not thrilled with, unless
something has changed. If you have an account on someone's server, a lot
of
people will want you to contribute, so would need something you can do
both
with.

Using Finder for ftp is a really bad idea. Unless you're using a super
fast connection with a super fast server, you're going to get a lot of
'Finder Busy' messages with VoiceOver and it'll drive you crazy.

Hi Caitlyn,
Just to add to this: if you need the ftp protocol onlyt to download
stuff
from elsewhere, then finder can do the job as well, and then you won’t
need a dedicated ftp client. Just hit command plus k when you are in
finder. This opens a dialog where you enter a url. This url can also
start off with ftp colon slash slash, rather than with http colon slash
slash. So, say you want to connect to a server called ftp.somewhere.com.
Here’s how to do it. If the port for ftp is the standard one, i.e. if it
is simply 21, then you hit command k, you then type
ftp://ftp.somewhere.com into the text field, and you then hit connect.
Your username and password will be asked for. Enter them and you will be
in. To get a list view, hit command plus the number 2.
This remote ftp server then looks just like a normal finder window. You
can copy files by hitting command plus c on them, you can traverse
folders etc, and then if you go to your desktop, downloads folder etc,
then you can hit command v to paste and download the files you selected,
from the ftp server.
If the ftp server you are connecting to uses a non-standard port that
it’s listening on for your incoming ftp connection, then you simply
append a colon, and the port number to the name of the server.
So: command plus k, and then:
ftp://ftp.somewhere.com:4094
where 4094 is the non-standard port number the server requirees, if
applicable.
Hth,
Paul.

the app store..
