CuteFTP is a file transfer protocol (FTP) client that makes it possible to transfer files between a client and an FTP server. It simplifies the process of sending and receiving files via the FTP protocol.
One of the primary selling points of CuteFTP is its easy-to-use interface. The same interface that made its Windows counterpart so popular has been implemented in CuteFTP Mac, following the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. This means that both Windows and Mac users will find the program to be familiar and straightforward.
With CuteFTP Mac, you can conduct FTP transfers by simply dragging and dropping files from one side of your computer screen to the other. The two-pane interface shows local files on the left and remote files on the right. You can save addresses, usernames, and passwords for one-click connection to FTP sites. Auto-Resume detects broken transfers and automatically restarts them until complete. Additionally, CuteFTP Mac supports more than a dozen different host types, allowing users to connect to virtually every type of FTP server on the World Wide Web.
CuteFTP Mac provides numerous features for users to manage their files and folders. You can create new folders, rename or delete existing files or folders, and use Cut, Copy, and Paste on files or whole folder trees, on both your hard drive and remote FTP servers. CuteFTP Mac allows you to navigate folders using the mouse, keyboard, menu, and toolbar buttons. Navigating folders on your remote server is as easy as navigating through folders on your own hard drive.
CuteFTP Mac's Site Manager provides an easy way to store FTP site usernames, passwords, and addresses. It's like speed dial for your FTP sites! Plus, you can enter FTP URLs, including username and password, right in a special tool bar, much like you would in your web browser.
CuteFTP Mac also provides instant feedback about connections and transfers in a scrolling log window and through graphic progress indicators. You can see exactly how far your transfer has gone and how much is remaining.
If you're looking for an easy-to-use FTP client with plenty of great features, CuteFTP is definitely worth considering. While it does come with a 30-day trial, the requirements are simple: A Power PC or Intel-based Mac computer and an Internet connection. Give CuteFTP a try and see how it can simplify your file transfers.
