FTPeel is an easy-to-use FTP client with extra features like AppleScriptability and drag 'n drop file mirroring to make the same files appear on your server as on your local computer.
There are a lot of FTP clients for the Mac. None, however, worked as we wanted FTP to work, and that's why we created FTPeel. We spend 50% of our time in traditional FTP clients switching to the right directory (or site), so we created the MagicMirror.
We were annoyed with how complex bookmark management was, so we have a single checkbox. We were annoyed at the choices available for navigation, so we created an FTP client that switches seamlessly between column and list view. We like to view files in a variety of ways, so we put in a wealth of preferences (and a quick filter box too).
Here are some key features of "FTPeel":
Gorgeous photo-illustrative icons.
Drag-and-Drop installation (no installer).
Drag-and-Drop for downloading and uploading.
Gorgeous toolbar.
Dock-brainy!
Full service support.
Cut/copy/paste support.
Multithreaded.
Uses Launch Services to post-process downloaded files.
Can handle FTP URLs from other applications (Mail, Safari, etc.).
Can handle and generate FTP location files from the Finder.
Keychain support - can read and generate Internet password keys.
Limitations:
Five second delay when starting the application.
Automatically quits after running for 10 minutes.
