CrossFTP Pro

MacUpdate says the current version is 1.98.6, BUT its download link incorrectly gets 1.98.4. Nevertheless, the developers website provides 1.98.6 as the current version.

good for me

I downloaded it both from here, and from CrossFTP's website, and both times when I try to run it, I get an error saying it's been damaged and telling me I should move it to the trash. OS 10.9.4.

Hi, There are numerous FTP clients available for Mac and each of them claims to be the best because they have the most features and are the fastest. CrossFTP is an average FTP client, but after trying a lot of them, not one I can't live with. First thing is : it's Java based. While this makes sense for the developer who can offer a multi platform product, Java is about the slowest environment you can think of. And to install you need to determine if you're running Java 5, 6 or 7, download the correct version... only to find out that, after the numerous leaks in Java's security, Apple disabled it, so you probably will have to install Java. Thus, CrossFTP is NOT WORKING out of the box in some (most ?) cases. Second thing is : it's working nice with Dual-Pane interface. But it lacks one feature that other FTP clients offer, even sometimes for free. That is the ability to transfer files from remote site to remote site. Of course, you can always mount a remote FTP server as a disk in MacOs. But doing this will end up with several "invisbible" files dropped in every opened window... Not really nice. Transmit can do "remote to remote", as can Forklift. So all in all, it works, transfers are rather fast but being Java based it not as responsive as it could be if developed natively for MacOS. I think I'll stick to forklift, Filezilla and Cyberduck.

I have been using FileZilla since forever but it seems to crash when transferring a large amount of files, so I looked at cyberrduck which I don't get on with and then tried this. And this works great - similar to FileZilla but without the crashes. UI needs work looks like OS9 meets Windows XP - not never the less it solves a problem for me so still giving 5 stars

Nice FTP client. I can use it to upload large files (several G) to Amazon S3 properly.

Oh c'mon!!!! Do something with your UI of the app. 2013!!! It looks extremely ugly and glitchy!!!!

Am I the only one not liking the UI? Probably because it is cross-platform but for me it doesn't work. CyberDuck is way better.

looks a lot like filezilla

This appears to be a cross platform app with the interface coded in Java. That makes a lot of sense for the company who make it in terms of developing a user base and supporting multiple platforms without having to recode the GUI every time. This is very easy to use! Thanks.

Hi. Welcome to the Mac. You're going to fail due to your craptacular interface. Have a nice day.

great little ftp App. Works well here... hmm i curious of the Pro version. btw. thxx for the free version !
