PFS  This FTP application is by far the easiest to use because of it's drag and drop features and separated window. I have website building software I use for my business website that has it's own built-in FTP, but Captain FTP exceeds that and all others I have used.

I have been using this software for several years and their updates always coincide with Mac X, unlike others that are usually behind a few of months. I would recommend Captain FTP to anyone who needs a stable, user friendly, and full feature FTP client. Their support is second to none.

Keep up the Good Work!!

22DUKE  same here crashes often and never heard from support after sending the crash emails.

If you intend to use Captain on two machines like home computer and laptop be aware that you can not have two copies open at the same time.

big draw back for me

DERSCHWARZERITTER  our new choice of ftp apps in our photo agency. compatible with almost every ftp server worldwide supporting all protocols, and with ease of use interface. very handy to work with.

in combination with crowznest our outdoor photographers use it to transfer pictures over mobile connection just once, crowznest delivers them with hot folders via broadband to several clients automatically.

and also very important for us - fast support and personal answers provided for problems!

BASA  Captain FTP is an excellent FTP/Webdav program, even works with Box.net. It is also easy to set up and using Crowsnest or Virtual folders it is very easy to use it to automate uploads.

STEVENJOSSELSON  Basa, would you mind giving me some tips on how use CaptainFTP with my Box.net account? I'd love the ability to create a "hot folder" or even use the software as a upload client for my Mac OSX (Snow Leopard).

Any help would be appreciated as I can't find the instructions on how to do this in the CaptainFTP online help guide.

MACFEVRE  :-( What happened to the really cool icon? Now it just looks like all the others. As far as the app goes, I'm still in 5, but it works great for me!

DOJO01  I am a professor at a community college and teach several online classes. Our college has a main server and I upload all my documents, jpegs, and web pages to this server.

Previously, I used a different ftp program. I wasn't satisfied and looked online. I have been using Captain FTP for several years now and it does exactly what I need it to do. I like the fact that everything is right there for me to see. I don't have to dig around to find things. It is simply the best!

USER938  Well, I like this software a lot because of the two separated windows, that allow a clearly arranged transfer.

Apart from this, this is the best App that can compete with the famous Windows-only software FlashFXP.

If I only think of the yellow thing-that-you-usually-put-into-your-bath mac tool, which opens two connections per FTP server, one to upload/download, the other to browse...

With CaptainFTP I have found a reliable and professional tool to manage my ftp transfers.
