I have been using ForkLift 2 for a long time. 66% off, good enough price to upgrade.

    Advantage over FileZilla that’s free, open source and works with Mac, Linux and Windows?

    • Agreed.
      Additionally SSHFS +OSXFUSE

      I haven't tried Forklift 3, but I've used v2 a bit. Forklift supports a lot more services than just S/FTP/S that Filezilla supports. Visually it is nicer than Filezilla. Last I checked Filezilla was still storing credential as plain text in an xml file. I'd say that's worth $10 if you need this type of tool.

      Edit It turns out there is now (the non open source) FileZilla Pro that has a similar feature set to Forklift 3. The IAP to unlock those features is 15AUD. I doubt Apple would allow them to store creds in plain text.

    • Does seem to do a lot more than I thought. Interesting.

      • I used this mainly as Finder replacement. I am used to the dual pane for file operations. The other features are bonus. For free FTP client on mac os, I prefer cyberduck (https://cyberduck.io/) than FileZilla as it looks more native. On Windows I do use FileZilla.

  • I use ForkLift as a Finder replacement for queued local file transfers. But for quick and dirty ftp transfers, FileZilla is fine.

  • Thanks for this. For someone that just recently moved from Windows, this feels much more intuitive for me as compared to Finder

  • Anyone after a good finder replacement should also check path finder, it's not as cheap as forklift (especially it's on sale now), but I found the features are better.

    My 2 cents

    • Yeah I like and used to use Path Finder too. Agree that the price is advantage to ForkLift at the moment.

      • Lol, love your username must be good being a local security guy :)

        • haha fellow indonesians :)
