    I'm looking for a reliable FTP Client for Mac, as of right now, I'm using Fetch, and it's pretty good - except that it's not freeware, and is only a 30 day trial.

    Any good ones that anyone has tried? :)

    Yeah, I found that while searching up for one, I was just wondering if anyone has had any first hand experience with Cyberduck. :)

    They both work well and fairly easily.

    I prefer OneButton FTP. It just seems a bit more robust. But this is just a preference.

    I've been using FileZilla for a long time on Windows and on Macos it is slightly better. But Cyberduck. Wow. It pushed F Z off it's perch on my dock in only 5 minutes' use! Bravo Cyberduck!

    Has anyone been able to get the CyberDuck widget to work?

    I've never been able to get the bloody thing to work for me.

    I just ignored it. Why would I want an ftp widget on the dashboard? The dashboard is for sudoku, stock quotes, weather and system status (istatpro), not for doing real work like moving files around by ftp. Can you give me an example of when I'd want to have an ftp program in my dashboard?
