Pure Mac
Lorem Ipsum of the day: The Motherlode can even generate Morse Code
Veronica asked me about FTP clients for the Mac. I’ve been using command line ftp since OS 10.1 - it’s free and reminds me of my misspent youth on SunOS. The first thing that sprang to mind was, of course, Transit (links are coming), but that costs money - I know because I stopped using it when my demo expired.
You never know when a new FTP client has come out (well, I do, but I’m speaking rhetorically here), so I tried Google and discovered…Pure Mac is back! Pure Mac isn’t an FTP client - it’s the ultimate index of Mac shareware. It used to be the site to visit to find Mac software, and then they stopped updating. But now it’s being revived and the FTP page is one of the ones that has already been updated.
So with the help of Pure Mac I was able to recommend - and download for myself - Cyberduck, a free FTP client for MacOS X (10.3 and above) with a very cool icon.
