| The one i've had the most success with on OSX is....
interarchy 4.1. It even works with FTP servers on netware, which are abit quirky with mac clients in general. Try it out.

Fetch is decent, as well, although I still like my command line ftp client.

There are loads of ftp clients listed on versiontracker.com I use Fetch and Interarchy, but there are several others for OS X.

Geez, people, there are TONS of good FTP clients for OSX. In addition to the aforementioned Interarchy and Fetch, there's also Panic's Transmit, and RBrowser is nice too. Working from the terminal, NcFTP 3.03 is my favorite for interactive use, and curl and wget are awesome for non-interactive use. Curl in particular is immensely flexible. No good OSX FTP clients? wrong answer!

Ooh, I forgot about RBrowser. That one's pretty decent because it uses an interface similar to that of the Finder, and allows local filesystem browsing, as well. Wasn't it ported from Next, or something like that?

I think you guys are missing the point. HyperLite and are used to using ws_ftp which is unbeleiveably simple and easy to use. There is nothing that matches that for OSX. I just downloaded interarchy, which sucks as much as everyother ftp client for OSX. Fetch is ok, but still, there is too much going on and its not freeware. I just want a simple program like wsftp. -jdog |
