In this day and age many people are familiar with the term FTP (File Transfer Protocol) thanks to the fact that more people are creating their own websites these days instead of paying an outside developer to do it for them. Two of the best FTP programs on the market today are Cyberduck and Transmit FTP.

What Can Cyberduck Offer You?
В 
Cyberduck is a free, open-source, FTP program that will enable you to do normal FTP things like uploading files to your web server and so much more. With Cyberduck you can also quickly edit files with their easy to use built in editor to edit your websites files when in Cyberduck instead of using another editor. Once you’ve finished working on your files all you do is re-upload those files to your website and you’re done.
В 
With this application you can also upload files to Google Docs, quickly and easily manage your bookmarks and transfer any files that you need to transfer without the hassle that comes with other FTP programs.
В 
This program is safer than the average FTP program and comes with advanced security features that will make it hard for any hacker to get into your files.
В 
What’s best of all about Cyberduck is that it’s compatible with PC, Mac and also all major operating systems like Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
В 
Cyberduck also supports almost every language on the planet and since it’s an open source program anyone can modify or redistribute it under the General Public License.

How Is Transmit FTP different than Cyberduck?
В 
With Transmit FTP any person who needs to edit files to their website and upload them will be able to do so easily and pain free. Transmit FTP also makes it easy for anyone to upload files to cloud sites like Amazon’s S3. What’s really cool about Panic’s Transmit FTP is that they keep reinventing it and making it better.

Some of the new features that they offer users are:
В 
• A smooth “engine” that allows for multiple transfers at the same time
• Easy file synching and simple navigation that make this program simple for advanced or novice users.

Transmit FTP is free to try but there is a price attached. A single copy costs $34.00 and additional copies cost $19.00 each.

The install file is 22MB so you should make sure that you have the space available on your computer. This FTP application will only work on Mac at this time and its Lion Ready so if you’ve got a Mac, you’re in luck, if you’ve got a PC then you should try using Cyberduck.
