If you're looking for a "Mac-Like" UI, this isn't it, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a fast, stable FTP client, this is it, click the download link now. I admit, I prefer looking at [omitted by author] compared to this un-Mac (and frankly, un-modern-Windows) UI, but I've had lots of stalls and hangs with [omitted by author] and no problems with FileZilla.
(Yes, I censored myself when I wrote [omitted by author]. I didn't write this review to call out problems with another FTP client, I simply wanted to give this one a good word. It's just worth noting that I've used a couple of other Mac FTP clients and found that this one works best, but it won't win any beauty contests.)
The 'stable' version is the version you want to download. It works fine, very quick to connect. I have a license to YummyFTP 1.7.2, and use it. I may use the stable version of this depending on how effective it is with file transfers over time.
Yes, it's ugly. It needs a two button mouse. This is true. Most of the multi-platform software that works on Linux, Windows, and OS X don't appear very nice from an image and one-button mouse perspective. The main question is whether it functions. Yes. You simply put your ftp server, user name, and password in the upper box. It remembers it if it connects fully. After that, it will remember until you tell it to forget. Oddly... the option to forget is in the same menu as all your quick bookmarks... making the whole accidents happen a concern.
Permissions is very GUI friendly as well. All 9 options are available via point and click.
The interface takes a minute to get. The empty screen near the top is the log screen. The two screens on the left below that are the files on your computer. In the top one, you pick a directory, and the window below that shows you the contents of that directory. It only seems weird at first... some seconds later your thinking this is fast... and it's the layout that contributes to the impression.
The empty two windows on the right are the remote directories from the host.
It'll take time for me to determine if the file transfer is as reliable as Yummy. It does log into my domain faster, displays the contents of directories faster, and shows a file viewing in a timely fashion.
Um... it works fine... but it looks like the developers vomited a Windows interface onto the screen. Yes, it's horribly ugly, but it works just dandy. I've used this for quite a while on Windows and no problems. I still prefer Cyberduck on the Mac, though... not because it's pretty, but because it's simple and easy to use and manage.
[Version 3.2.8]

Also, the UI is a jumbled mess, with too much enabled by default. It can be VERY confusing for less experienced users.
Recommend using Cyberduck instead, as long your FTP serves supports Open SSH. Otherwise use this.
