It is actually available for a mere €0.79 in AppStore!

I guess you are missing the built-in text editor :)
I didn't think it would add any value because so many nice text editors are available, even free ones.

I've been doubting to buy this one for 2 months. Luckily any update reset the trial so I managed to use it a bit longer.
It's awesome software but at $30 I found it just a bit too expensive. But since I use it so much I finally decide to buy it anyway...
And now like 24 hours later it's in the MAS for $0.99?? Are you frikking kidding me?

Yup...the developers explain this in the thread somewhere but I think it boils down to eye candy and laziness. Transmit is as good if not better anyways and Transmit is compatible with 10.5 (PPC or Intel).

If devs are reading this: please update Foriklift in the MAS, it's still 2.0.8 there. I buy software only from the App Store (at least I try to) and my Forklift trial is over and I can't use it anymore because I don't want to buy an outdated version (2.0.8). It's been long since 2.5 release and it's still not updated in the MAS.

Hi Tavas,

ForkLift v2.5 has been available in the AppStore since yesterday.
Sorry for the delay but all apps must be reviewed by Apple before they go online.

Love Forklift, but one thing annoys me - Forklift doesn't seem to be able to save my Amazon S3 password, I always have to re-enter it.

Hi Prypjat,

When you create a favorite in Favorite manager and enter the password ForkLift should save it into the keychain.

I like these monochrome icons much more than old ones. I was always irritated by those colour icons here, also in the Finder and Mail.

Fixes and improvements:

Monochrome sidebar/toolbar icons

For me the monochrome look is just AWFUL! I spent ages trying to find a hack to bring colour back to my Finder sidebar now Forklift has the same same drab monochrome icons!!! The point of a GUI is to allow ease of use taking colour icons away is neither a fix nor improvement.

The issue here is that the DEV has not allowed a choice. Those colour side bar icons are still in the system somewhere, how about a preference to turn them on?

Personally I think monochrome icons help reduce the clutter in the UI. BTW, did you know that in ForkLift you can assign color labels to the favorites and devices?

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy Roger. I've updated the listing to reflect that 2.5 does require Lion. If you are on 10.6, you can still download 2.0.8 above.

I am a Forklift 2.0.8 user and downloaded 2.5 for testing. When I launch 2.5 it imports all my FTP accounts and settings except the passwords.

Is it only for me or? (Big problem!)

Pascal-The-Rabbit had trouble on 28 Mar 2012
If I buy Forklift version 2.5 in the MUPromo Bundle... can I use my serial number with version 2 (I guess I would have to download separate from developer site)? I have MacOS 10.6 and not 10.7 which is needed by version 2.5

Anyone know the work around for only having MacOS 10.6?

Hate to be dummy o´the day... but, can anyone tell me if I can do an incremental sync with Forklift, or does it have to be a full sync each time. I am specifically interested in syncing from one video folder to another. Thanks :-)

I would love to try this software but the last several times updates have come out they simply won't launch.

i have an iMac 27" 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 and Forklift will never load, not once. Really the only software I have ever installed that won't even launch. Very disappointing.

Most probably you have a corrupted MacFUSE installation. Please try to remove or reinstall it, that should resolve your problem.

Epgregoire had trouble on 23 Nov 2010
Upgraded to 2.0 without a thought. Yes, I do own Transmit, yes I do own Pathfinder, but each has its own strengths and I recently rediscovered Forklift. Thought v2.0 would improve on Transmit and it does have the potential to do so but for a hitch: I can't reliably upload to my GoDaddy website. I get copy errors all the time (copy error: failed to connect to server); skipping will work for some files but then I have to figure out which ones were copies and which weren't.

Transmit behaved the same way after upgrading to 4.0, but deleting old Favorites and entering new ones resolved that. Alas, it doesn't seem to work this way with Forklift. Bummer, as I really want to like this one...

Rob, of course there is no risk whatsoever to your Favorites. Just launch 1.7.8 and you'll see :)

FL2 uses a separate preferences file, precisely to avoid mishaps with your stable version. The final release of 2.0 will include an Import function to migrate your settings from FL1.

ForkLift is a powerful file manager and ferociously fast FTP client clothed in a clean and versatile UI that offers the combination of absolute simplicity and raw power expected from a well-executed Mac software.

ForkLift will connect to any remote server FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3, WebDAV, the SMB, NIS and AFP shares on your local network, or your Bluetooth mobile phone- pretty much anything you can plug into or hook up to a Mac. ForkLift also carries a complete toolbox for managing your files, including Folder Synchronization, Batch Renaming, Archive handling, Application deleter, editing files over remote connections and many more. All these power features are packaged into a Finder-like, dual-pane interface that delivers superior workflow while remaining absolutely familiar to use, along with QuickLook, Spotlight search and all.

Key features:
  • ForkLift 2.5 requires Mac OS X 10.7
  • Completely re-built from scratch inside and out
  • Disklets (you can mount a remote connection as a disk and access it from any app)
  • Synclets
  • Droplets
  • List view, Column view, Icon view and Coverflow
  • Transfer queue
  • Handles almost any archive format: Rar, Zip, Tar, Gz and a dozen more
  • Search and filter (now with RegExp support)
  • Improved Sync
  • Stacks
  • Integrated favorite manager
  • Advanced Multi-Rename
  • Workspaces
  • Dual-pane view
  • Folder Synchronization
  • Tabs
  • Amazon S3 support
  • WebDAV support
  • Remote edit and preview
  • Growl support
  • QuickLook local and remote files
  • and much more to discover
One of MacUpdate's favorite features is called "FXP." It allows you to copy files from one remote FTP server to another, without first downloading it to your Mac and then uploading it to the destination server. As you can imagine, this direct connect ability can save a ton of time moving files between servers and making fast backups.
