    So like may of you guys may know, I'm about to switch to the new Macbook. I'm still browsing for programs for many of the ones I currently use.

    What's the best, free FTP program for Mac? I currently use FileZilla on Vista.

    Cyberduck ftw. Used it to SSH into my iPod Touch, worked like a charm. (hackintosh)

    Thanks for showing me. It's actually commercial software, but after taking a look at your link, I realized I could apply for their free/charitable license. I'll try out CyberDuck first (since it's free) and move on to that one if it doesn't work.

    Used cyberduck, but now on Transmit. Its not free but is a bit nicer to use with uploading/sync'ing iWeb sites. But if your just doing some general file transfer's cyberduck all the way.

    FireZilla is also available for OS X. Nothing different from Windows version. I'm still using it. It is also free.

    Filezilla. I use it on all of my systems and use Filezilla Server for my home desktop so everyone else can grab or store stuff on my system. It's nice to have only one program to deal with on multiple operating systems (I use Linux at work), Open Source (in case I want to build my own), and besides, it has 'zilla in the name.
