I just switched over to a Mac desktop system from PC. I was using Ipswitch on my PC for FTP file transfers to my site and now need to good program for Mac.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've never had to but I googled it and came up with this, which is built to OS/X.

You might want to read up on it and see if that will work for you before paying for a program.

Used Cyberduck up until recently and was fairly happy.
I now use Transmit and they also have a ios version as well. Very happy with the switch.

+1 for Transmit especially if there is a folder of images involved. I think I've used it for about 20 years! It used to be free, maybe $35 now but I've never had a problem with it.

For individual images going out one at a time Photo Mechanic's FTP is fastest and works well.

Doesn't your web authoring software have FTP upload capability?

Filezilla

I used to use Fetch, but it an into some troubles at one point .. I can't remember what. Filezilla works much better, imo.

Cheers
