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.

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. (Version 4.3.5)
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. (Version 4.3.4)
