Fugu gives secure SSH an GUI interface for command-line SFPT file tranfers. SFTP is a secure replacement for FTP: the session is encrypted via ssh, so nothing--most importantly passwords--is sent in the clear.

Fugu supports drag and drop uploads and downloads, and features a console that allows the user to interact directly with the commandline interface of sftp should he or she choose. Additionally, Fugu contains support for directory upload, which is not natively supported in OpenSSH's sftp.

Simple and nice SCP client at first sight, I have not been able to transfer a directory from my remote disk, out of the box...

Fugu is still the best for SFTP ! Even though this software is six years old now, it still works on Snowleopard and it is very quick. A must have ! Just a hint for Aljuk : look at the preferences, you will find everything you need !

Works very well. The one improvement that would make this app perfect for me would be if it could remember a local directory path when I set a remote location as a favourite. So then when I log on to one of my servers, my local directory is also loaded and I'm ready to go.

Fugu is really great. I have a few questions:

Is there a real need to use sheets for transfer progress? It would be nice if I could start multiple simultaneous transfers, or at least queue serial transfers, or even delete a remote file while transferring another file.

Can Fugu be made to support Growl?

I know it's a longshot, and outside of Fugu's planned scope, but could it support kerberized ftp (kftp and/or gssapi ftp)?

Thanks!

I have a web client who only allows me to access his server via ssh (scp) to upload files. this little app saves me the frustration of doing it via the terminal.

I have been a faithful user of Fetch since (I think) the mid 1990's but I have been somewhat disheartened since migrating to OSX a few years ago.

I am definitely in favor supporting shareware, but when there is another program out there that does the same job better and is cheaper (free in this case) then I'm going to go with that one.

Fugu simply does what I need it to do. Its stable, its easy and with my remote web-host going to ssh-only uploads, it allready suits that need as well.

Great little gui for sftp/scp. No freezes, quite stable (unless I do silly things like removed files behind its back, most often).

Freezes. Freezes early, freezes often. Very experienced Unix user here, that must say I had high hopes for this software that did not pan out.

If you've got problems, send them to the developers. MacUpdate isn't a bug reporting forum. Thanks!

I have been using it regularly for years now. It has always been rock solid. Hence the problem must be elswere.

Fugu has always been rock solid for me (over a year and a half now) but I know how things can conflict with other things. I would suggest that the problem lies somewhere else in your system, rather than with Fugu.

Anonymous commented on 23 Apr 2005

Yeah. I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but Fugu has been my primary FTP client for easily a year or two (basically since it was first released) and I don't think I've seen it crash even once.

This is the best SSH software for Mac OS X. It makes remote UNIX website management a breeze! Thanks to the developers and keep up the good work!

Very nice example of what open source should be. I only wish there was a suitable companion for regular SSH sessions.

Me too.. my only lament with the glorious Fugu is that I can't use the same app to issue shell commands (as opposed to sftp commands) to manipulate the files I've transferred.

I'm getting the same problem as the anonymous user before me - no connection after updating from 1.1, just a spooling progress bar.

What's up with that?

1.1 was awesome and with 1.1.1's support for TextMate, the project just gets better and better.

Just make it work, ja?
