Version 3 also adds a feature to quickly open a file via its http URL in a web browser. The latest version of Cyberduck adds support for WebDAV servers and Amazon's S3 storage service to its support of FTP, SFTP, FTP/TLS, and SCP protocols. Yesterday the makers of Cyberduck, a free and open-source FTP client made just for Mac OS X, announced a major update to version 3.0, so I thought I would give it a shot. But I've never been thrilled about its busy interface, which can be daunting for novice users. Some friends in the tech support world often recommend the free and open-source FileZilla, which offers a Mac OS X version in addition to Windows and Linux. But some people don't use FTP enough to justify Transmit's $30 price, even if it may be (arguably) the best FTP client for Mac OS X. I've been using it since version 1, and have happily upgraded whenever a new major version comes along. When people ask for a recommendation for a good FTP client on Mac OS X, I usually recommend Panic's excellent Transmit.
