Free FTP- Oh my, Oh me!
Got a Mac? Need an FTP program? Do you like Transmit, but are too cheap to buy it?

Tada: the solution! Cyberduck is a great, free, open-source FTP client for OS X. Works great, and along with Text Wrangler it becomes even better.

The only problem with CyberDuck is that it sucks hard. Transmit is incredible, though I haven’t paid for it yet. If you’re too cheap to pay for great software, try RBrowser Lite. It’s quite a decent, mature FTP client and it actually works.
I could never really get used to RBrowser Lite. IMO, the interface was cluttered and overall, it annoyed me.
Cyberduck works great for me, I don’t really see anything wrong with it, although, it would be nice if it had column view. (Apparently the developer is working on that). But you can’t beat the price!
