I need an FTP program for my Mac. I have OSX - is there something built into that? Or is there something I should download?

Google a program called Fetch. :D

[ashavah]

I could never get Fetch to work. :-(

Fetch is good, Transmit is also good. :)

Let me break with the crowd and endorse Cyberduck:

I think Fetch stopped being free a long time ago, and the last time I checked Cyberduck had a much slicker interface.

I second this nomination.

I'd like to third that nomination. Or fourth by now!

... fifthed?

I like the name of it!

Just throwing my 2c in and second the cyberduck recommendation!

Pay for Transmit. It's fabulous.

I have trouble with Fetch on OSX, but I've been successfully and happily using Fugu for a while now. It's not terribly sleek, though.

Fetch is undoubtedly one of the worst FTP clients for a higher-level user -- it's buggy in ways that can be positively dangerous to your content.

I recommend unreservedly Yummy FTP, it's best, slickest, most powerful FTP client I've had the pleasure of using and has been my salvation in many work situations.

Setting up FTP aliases is as easy as snapping your fingers (imagine a desktop icon that, when you drag and drop files onto it, immediately uploads them to the correct place). Or image an icon that sits in a folder, watching to see if you make any changes to the folder and automatically synchronising it with the server.

There are hundreds of other ways to use Yummy, of course, but it's just such a delight to find a program that has solutions before you've even thought of problems.

Ooooh, sounds shiny!
