Best Apps for Transferring Files for Mac

by Carl Smith Software Developer

File transfer protocol (FTP) is an easy and quick way to pair with the distant computer system. You can share the things to and from it by using FTP. After typing the “FTP” in the search bar of the application store, you will find a number of apps. Almost all applications perform with the WebDAV that can transfer the files on the platform of HTTP-centered server. Many people employ the third party applications for FTP capabilities. You can employ the Finder by heading to “Go” then “Connect to Server” for signing into FTP servers. But it is comparatively slower as compared to other apps.

You can consider some of the best free-to-download applications for file transferring in case of Mac devices as mentioned below:

1. FileZilla Application

It is a cross-platform application with the open source media. Its user interface is not like as that of Mac interface developed by programmers. It executes with the fast speed in case of file uploading and downloading. When you switch from one to another session, then it will not keep the record of passcode of the server. Its updating system includes the downloading of a new copy of application then you can copy this in the app folder manually. You have to do it every time while going for the new variant of the app.

2. Cyberduck Application

It has an excellent list of options for cloud servicing including Amazon S3, Google Drive etc. It provides the synchronization of the local and distant directory which is general functionality available in the paid application. It employs two windowpanes in which one displays a folder on the local system and other displays the distant directory with that your system is paired. With this, you can use move the folders in between these two directories.

3. ViperFTP Lite Application

Its junior variant has a cheesy launching window. It is excellent to be coordinated with Amazon S3 and YouTube. Here, the rate of file transfer is slow. It may be crashed during the launching of a new pairing connection.

4. ForkLift 2 Application (Version 2) This application has two variants namely 2 and 3. It gives a decent rate of file transferring with the transparent user interface. Moreover, it can pair to a number of servers like Amazon S3, AFP etc. besides regular options of FTP or WebDAV servers. This app will not record the passcode of the server and not keep them in the program of Keychain. Within this app, there are Droplets which is the mini-application, allowing you for transferring files by just drag and drop it. For file transfer, you have not to launch the ForkLift app.
