OneButton FTP is a project with the goal of creating an open source graphical FTP client for Mac OS X (10.3 and above) using the Cocoa framework.
OneButton FTP will have a strong emphasis on drag and drop usability and file queuing.

There are a lot of nice graphical FTP clients for OS X out there right now, but none seem to have all the features everyone wants. Specifically, many of the current offerings don't offer a lot in the way of an advanced queuing system. Moreover, most of the good clients are not open source or free software.

OneButton FTP plans to change all this by bringing to the table a graphical FTP client for OS X that is Free Software (licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL) and has all of the nice features that users desire.

What's New:
Added 'Edit' feature. Select this from the Listing menu to download a file to a temporary location and open it in the editor you specify in OneButton FTP preferences. Every time you save the file, it will automatically be uploaded back to where you downloaded it from (as long as you keep the application open). If you are disconnected when you save, you will be reconnected.
Fixed a bug that caused the program to crash when contributing anonymous statistics in Panther. If you disabled the feature because of this issue, please consider re-enabling it. We need to hear from Panther users to know they are out there!
Added an SSL mode selection menu in new connection and edit bookmark windows. Use this to specify not to use SSL at all, to use explicit SSL (which is the most common), or to use implicit SSL (which is fairly rare).
Fixed string encoding issue with French and Italian localizations that caused some characters to not be displayed.
Removed the 'anonymous' checkbox in new connection and edit connection windows. Whether or not a login is anonymous is now determined by whether or not a username is specified.
Added a German localization.
