Interarchy is an advanced file transfer app that supports FTP, SFTP, Webdav, S3 and the new, very fast iFTP. It also supports plug-in architecture for compressing files, running scripts and restarting servers.
It ties in well with both Amazon and Rackspace's cloud file hosting services, allowing you to transfer and manage data in the cloud. It also boasts as being the fastest file transfer client on the Mac, transferring over 80MB/sec on a gigabit network.
The Net Disks feature allows you to mount remote servers on your Mac's Desktop as if it were a local disk. This

What's New
Version 10.0.2:
- Net Disks buttons (Mount, Unmount and Sync) should now update correctly.

- Changed the Amazon S3 "Access Key" label back to "Secret".
- Some people have reported missing Net Disks after switching between Interarchy 9 and Interarchy 10. 10.0.2 performs a more robust search for detached Net Disks.
- Removed the old Spotlight importer which was spewing messages to the console.
- Fixed a bug that caused a Amazon S3 folder listing to contain the parent folder.

While iFTP IS extremely fast (for servers that support it), I am unable to connect to Rackspace at all. I emailed support support (Matthew) on January 19th and I got a response back that same day asking for a log of the connection. I sent the log on January 20th and haven't heard back from them...AT ALL. I've emailed twice, once on 2/1 and again on 2/19 simply asking for a status update. No...response...at...all.
While some functionality of Interarchy does work, I'm ratiing it what I am based on the OVERALL use, which sadly includes my customer "support" experience.

Just before Matthew sent out this notice I reported yet another bug. He did respond and indicated (as he did in the notice) that he'd been laid up with an injury, but who knows when we'll see an update -- particularly when it seems he's been working on something else (Paste) all this time.

That did not happened (I switched back to Cyberduck in january)...

Problem is, it has been well over a year since we've seen an update, and Interarchy never made it to the Apple App Store, so, given the bugs and anomalies that still exist (at least under Snow Lion), it's becoming increasingly likely that we're seeing the end of the line for Interarchy development sooner than later. I would like nothing better than to be proven wrong about this, but I can't recommend Interarchy as something with a future.

Yeah, maybe... but interarchy is a sure thing. I would never have the idea to buy it for my very basic FTP needs... But I got it in a bundle (best invention since the wheel and the Mac).
The software is very rich. There are many features I don't (and won't) need.
However, the small percentage I use is absolutely flawless. FTP is easy to use, user friendly and efficient. I used CyberDuck and sometimes, I couldn't upload my website (couldn't know why, but no issue with Interarchy). Access to webdisks is a gem (maybe it's a basic feature but I couldn't find it in CyberDuck).
Even with basic needs, you can really "feel" that Interarchy has much potential under the hood... so if you've got specific file transfer needs, maybe you should give it a try.

If they are not going to even respond to support requests to paying customers this app deserves a dump rating. They got what they deserved....

I consider an bug to be serious if it affects my use of an application; however, here are some bugs that cause crashes:
- Cover Flow crashes, every time. (1)
- Copy Public URL crashes, every time. (2)
Bugs that require I change how I use Interarchy:
- Double-clicking a folder attempts to download the folder, instead of opening it. (1)
- File/folder creation occurs in unexpected directories. (4)
- Copying a file by dragging from the window to a background tab copies the file to the wrong directory. (4)
- Right-clicking on a selection of multiple files/folders deselects all but one. (4)
- Cannot rename in place in column view.
Bugs or behaviors that slow down my use of Interarchy:
- Duplicating a file leaves the original selected, rather than the copy. (3)
- Using HITextField for the address control causes text to shift when moused into.
- Renaming a file selects the whole name, including the extension. (3)
- Double-clicking a file to rename doesn't do an appropriate word-select. (3)
- Quick Look (and preview) doesn't work on remote servers. (1)
- In column view, selecting a directory followed by "Select All" results in all items in that directory's column to be selected. This is different than the Finder's behavior, where all items *in* the selected directory would become selected. (3)
Bugs that otherwise affect my use of Interarchy:
- Save/Save As don't do what (this) user expects.
- Preferences for selecting columns to view is missing. (1)
- State not saved periodically.
(1) Although Matthew's first comment was "I don't comment on future releases," he did indicate that these would be fixed in the next release.
(2) This has been fixed, probably by a reinstall of the operating system.
(3) It's particularly frustrating to me that Matthew insists that these behaviors reflect the Finder's behavior, when that is clearly not the case.
(4) Also different than the Finder, although Matthew hasn't commented.
I sent Matthew a screencast (at his request) to demonstrate the issues marked above by (3); however, he has not responded to me in nearly a month -- even when I sent two additional messages.
Playing the Devil's advocate, I understand some of the delay is due to the Mac App Store. Matthew, after hearing in November (?) about the MAS, chose to delay the release of any update so that it could be released simultaneously in the MAS and on his website. The MAS approval process has increased that delay. Very frustrating for him, I'm sure.
But (and switching back to the other side), it's even more frustrating for his customers who have paid for a working product -- or, at least, a certain level of usability -- and have not been communicated with.
I stand by my earlier review. There are too many bugs for me to recommend anyone buy this product, even at the tempting price of $20 (see my comments elsewhere on the price).

OTOH, what Interarchy does well, it does very well; e.g., the mirror functions are very accurate, fast, and are easily accessed via the Interarchy icon in the menu bar. I tend to use the functions Interarchy v10 is good at, and stay away from those that crash or don't work as expected.
As for other ftp clients, Transmit is too slow, and Forklift isn't precise enough in determining when files have changed for mirroring purposes. YummyFTP, for ftp and sftp, has a comprehensive feature set, is fast and accurate, and everything works as expected, although the interface is a bit more detailed than the minimalist Interarchy. A matter of preference, really.
So Don, have you found another ftp client that does what you need without the frustrations? Seriously.
Best,
Philip

Haven't seen hide nor hair of Scheduled Bookmarks Although the feature is mentioned in the release notes for 10.0.2, it isn't in Help. (BTW, would like to see someone do a screencast of the differences between Auto Uploads, Droplets, Mirrors, and Net Disks -- they seem, from the docs, to all be very similar, so it's difficult to get a sense of when I should use one over another.)
I've looked at several other clients (most notably Transmit, although not YummyFTP), but none seem to come close to meeting my needs. Then again, maybe I just need to adapt to their way of doing things. Transmit has one annoying behavior, in that it won't even look (I asked Panic) for existing Keychain items the first time you load a site. And it has some frustrating behaviors when dealing with split windows.
On a brighter note, I found a feature in Interarchy that I wasn't aware of: copy and paste of files and folders is supported! Select Edit > Copy in one listing, then Paste to another listing -- be it on the same server, another server, or a desktop listing -- and Interarchy will create a new item in the second location. Successive pastes work, too.

- I10 doesn't use the saved preference for the Transfer Mode. If the "Transfer files" preference is changed, the option is saved to ~/Library/Preferences/com.nolobe.interarchy.plist, but I10 doesn't use that value on its next launch.
-It's incredibly difficult to edit a bookmark in the Bookmarks Bar.
- Items under Places in the sidebar do not correctly highlight
- It's not possible to remove items added to Places
- When listing a Finder directory, double-clicking on a file results in a Bad URL error
- When listing a Finder directory, File > Edit, cmd-J and right-click-Edit do nothing
- When working with a listing of a Finder directory, deleting and creating files and folders does not update the view (column view); created items do not appear and deleted items are not removed until the view is refreshed in some manner. Same with renaming
- When listing a Finder directory, duplicating an item results in a Bad URL error

I've reported two additional bugs to Nolobe, one involving a UI glitch when changing the "Download files to" setting and another that causes I10 to create multiple copies of a file when that file is in a directory, the directory is dragged to another server, and the listing on the source server has that directory's disclosure triangle opened. (Confusing, I know.)

- The developer hasn't updated this listing, just like he hasn't updated his product in months -- failing to fix known bugs
- The developer is transitioning to the Mac App Store and feels the need to meet the expectations of users who think that should mean lower prices
- The developer has seen sales of a stagnant and bug-ridden product come to a halt, so to lure unsuspecting new users in has drastically reduced the price
- The developer wants to screw long-term, loyal users -- those he promised upgrades from v9 to v10 @ $20, but then charged $30; now he's just rubbing it in their face that new users can get in for less.

Gripes: 1. No help (kind of a biggie), 2. Crashes more than it should in Cover Flow view, 3. Mirrors no longer can be scheduled as in v.9, "trial run" mirrors are not available as in v9, and 5. Nolobe, the developer, has not been responsive to my feedback and questions (sure would like to hear from that guy one of these days).
Bottom line: for web site maintenance these days, Interarchy's the best tool I have.

Yummy FTP Extras which can be accessed by selecting the option of the same name from the Help menu in Yummy FTP.
Just configure the AppleScript with your preferred settings (Bookmark, local and remote directories, etc) then save it as an
AppleScript application to your Desktop (for example). Then you can either double-click it to sync, or drag it to the Dock,
which then requires a single click to sync.
If you have any questions or difficulties, please email me : support at yummysoftware dot com
I'll make an automatic option for this in the very near future ;)

Thanks for the Applescript tip. I put the script application in the User Script Folder; works like a charm.

Another little tip - the v1.8.3 update that is being released next week has a good deal of performance improvements, particularly for syncs. I'd definitely recommend it over v1.8.2. The release candidate is available to try, just un-check 'Ignore betas' in the Software Update panel of the Preferences.

So far this does not bode well. Please fix the server for the help manual ASAP.
Thank you.

August. Unless you've used v.9, which *does* have a help system, you're left to figure things out on your own at present. Maybe Nolobe would care to comment about what we can expect in 2011? C'mon, Matthew, we really need to hear from you!
