EDITOR NOTES
Note: As of version 4.6.1, Mac OS X 10.6 is required.
DESCRIPTION
RBrowser is an easy-to-use FTP - SFTP Remote File Management, File Transfer and Folder Synchronization tool.
RBrowser4 in its unlicensed mode is a FREE FTP Client (no more need for RBrowserLite...)
- Folder Synchronization:
local-to-local and local-to-remote using any protocol. If folder sync's target is a local or remote Mac with ssh access, fork/type/creator data is preserved!
- Retains fork data, type/creator and attributes on
Mac-to-Mac transfers.
- Automatic detection protocol capabilities on the
remote host - no need to know whether to use FTP, SFTP or SSH,
just leave it on "Auto" and let RBrowser figure out the best protocol to use.
- Definitely faster in all protocols and operations.
- Protocol independent transfers -
remote-to-remote transfers between any hosts.
- Intelligent combining of ssh/sftp for optimal
performance to get the best of the secure world - no longer
have to decide which protocol is better for file operations or
transfers. RBrowser's intelligent sftp/ssh protocol layer picks the
optimal tool for the job for you automagically.
RBrowser provides access to files on the local host as well as remote UNIX systems with an easy-to-use graphical interface. RBrowser provides secure file transfers as well as Folder Sync that preserve HFS Metadata!
Who is RBrowser for? Anybody who has accounts on remote UNIX
systems of whatever flavor, or on any host that has an FTP server. Working on documents, managing files over the network can be fairly painful, especially for those who are not experts in the cryptic UNIX shell commands. If you work on remote systems or have to move files back and forth often, RBrowser can make your life a lot easier. RBrowser provides an easy way to manage and edit your HTML pages on the directly on the remote WEB host. RBrowser provides connectivity with FTP and SFTP. Maintain
your web pages and sync the changes with a single click! Backup
your important files using the Folder Sync Engine in RBrowser!

BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE I'm with Luther below: Never had a problem with RBrowser Lite, but I cannot connect to my usual FTP site with the newer versions -- or, rather, it connects, but the file list is blank. The log on the server says it's connected, but nothing shows up in the client window. RBrowser's troubleshooting gives two possible solutions; one doesn't fix it, and the other is referring to a preference setting that no longer exists in the newer versions. And I can't find an e-mail address on the RBrowser site to point out the problem. Ugh. Loved RBrowser Lite, but will have to go looking for another plain ol' FTP client.

PLANET I just want to leave a big "thank you" for this cool, awesome piece of software. I'm using it in free mode with 10.39 for my private homepage and tried a copy of Netfinder with OS 9.22 before, but rbrowser lite is even better. Thank you so much!

LUTHER I've been using RBrowserLite for years with no problems. Great little FTP utility. I just purchased a new MacBook to replace a Mac Mini G4 so thought I download the newer version of RBrowser that is Intel native. Deleted old app/prefs/application support of the Lite Version, but couldn't get v. 4.3.5 of RBrowser to work. I have reinstalled RB Lite on my Mini from my backup, and all is working well just like it used to. Guess I'll just use the lite version under Rosetta emulation for now.

EASYEDE Luther and Chris - you should check to see if there is some other issue that is causing the problem. I use the program on an older MacBook G4, a MacPro Dual Core and a current iMac - all running on the latest version of OS X - and have no problems of any kind.

CHRISCHRAM Like many recent applications that 'claim' to be Universal Binaries that work on MacIntel machines, this is another one that just doesn't live up to its claim. Runs just fine on my old G4, but crashes like Gangbusters on this new iMac.

ANONYMOUS This seems like a decent ftp client. Easy to use and worked first time, no problems so far.

ANONYMOUS Indeed; thanks. Either that's new since yesterday (when I last checked the RBLite page) or I missed it.

RBROWSER USER I've been using this app for at least four years and in that time it has never caused me any serious problems whatsoever. This app is solid. If you have issues with it you should contact the developer. He *WILL* fix them, I know this to be true.

ANONYMOUS I paid for this shortly after OSX 10.0 came out, and it was essential then (it was the only graphical ftp client that worked) but I've barely used it in the past few years. It just hasn't developed the way other clients have. The UI still feels like a 10.0 app, that is, it feels half finished. This is the only ftp client I can still crash on a regular basis (Cyberduck, Fugu and Transmit being the others I use.) Try any of those three before buying this one.

ANONYMOUS i have to say that Cyberduck and Transmit were both alot more unstable on my machine than Rbrowser. Cyberduck is my client of choice even though I've paid for Rbrowser.... but Rbrowser is much more stable

LA PIEDRA Truly, RBrowser is rock solid stable. I've used it since who knows when and it has always performed very well.
