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!!

(Version 6.1019)

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  
(Version 6.1 (090514))

FRODO_LIFE  great software unfortunately crashes a bit to often when doing big uploads with many files hence ony 3 stars  
(Version 6.1 (090514))

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!  
(Version 6.0031)

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.  
(Version 6.0031)

FRODO_LIFE  used to be my favourite FTP client unfortunately version 6x is not usable due to constant hangs.

reported several crash logs but never got a response from support  
(Version 6.0023)

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!  
(Version 6.0014)

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!  
(Version 5.2208)

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.  
(Version 5.2102)

BARRY COUTTS, PMP  An excellent product and excellent service. I previously used "Fetch" for a long time (at least 10 years), Captain FTP is a lot easier to use (intuitively and functionally). I sometimes have to use Captain FTP to login to tens of accounts daily, it has never been an issue (the same can't be said for CyberDuck, which I tried briefly on a recommendation ... and then found Captain FTP). This software publisher also seems to be in tune with Mac OS X upgrades. I consider Captain FTP to have been a good investment.

Regards,

Barry Coutts, PMP  
(Version 5.1)

JUDDYB  excellent software, basically feels like I'm dragging and dropping files in finder. Great to work with and efficiently designed!  
(Version 5.1)

DANA SUTTON  This combines some great features (scheduling, Growl or e-mail notification, WebDav support for .Mac) in a way no other currently available FTP client does. But I won't buy it. Why? Because they charge for upgrades (the most you can do is buy 1 year's worth of so-called "upgrade insurance"). Competing clients like Transmit and Yummy provide free upgrades.  
(Version 5.1)

ASTROEHER  I know - now - that it's not open-source; bute they gave non-profit-organisations the possibility to get a free serial - and therefore I can live without Open-Source, but cheap (in this case free) programs!  
(Version 4.5)

ASTROEHER  I've just used Captain FTP for a few days - because I was looking for a open-source and cheap FP program for my new Mac.

With Captain FTP I can do all the tasks I need to update/download and synchronize my Website without creating a .Mac account...

I can also rename files online, change the file-rights and all the other thing, You need to do without Shell-Access.

And most of all - I'm supporting a non-profit organisation - so it's a rather cheap way to get a full-functional-professional FTP Program!  
(Version 4.5)

ROB G  Captain FTP is the fastest and most easy to use FTP program that I have come across. I have limited space on my HDDr and i use it to quickly move files to my server and free up much needed space on my HDD. If anyone can find a better FTP porgram please tell me because I don't think one exists.

-Rob  
(Version 4.5)

LRK  It is a great program, I'm sorry for the users of pc, they could not use. I was been charmed with Thunderbird and I was angry to when not to be able to continue using it cause I change to mac. But Captain FTP overcomes it, is easy, simple, fast and nice! That more you want?

---

Es un programa genial, lo siento por los usuarios de pc que no podrán usarlo. Yo estaba encantada con Thunderbird y me dió mucha rabia no poder seguir usandolo cuando cambié a mac. ¡Pero Captain FTP lo supera! ¡Es fácil, simple, rápido y bonito! ¿Que más quieres?  
(Version 4.5)

LINDBERG999  Captain FTP is an excellent program (much better than Transit, which everyone seems to love.) It enables me to do most things with one click of a button (such as switch between making a transfer binary or whatsoever.) It also makes it very easy for me as a college student to upload files to a FTP server and access them with ease later. The transfer are extremely dependable. For a test, I transfered an 11gb file and during that transfer I changed networks several times and everything still worked great. There are also plenty of advanced features. The Captain Rocks!  
(Version 4.5)

MOECOWMOOOOH  Captain FTP is a very nice Programm.

I use it to upload some files to my Student Server and use it on my College.

Without this programm i wolud get crazy... I need an easy acces to the ftp server and captain ftp is the best and easyest way to acces the server easily.

I cann acces the server very fast an so i can quickly down and upload the files i need in my college.

Thank you for this great programm  
(Version 4.5)

RBEFOREE  I have been using Captain FTP for a little over a year and have been very pleased with the ease of use. I find it intuitive and easy to get working immediately. The install is quick and easy and the design is preofessional and true to Mac style. The fully-functioning trial version is an excellent token of faith. I am not fond of crippled demos. I prefer the time limit demo. OK Enough about the trial, just buy this. It does what it is supposed to do and despite the theme, is friendly to landlubbers and pirates alike.

Let's all support the good software out there by ponying up! Each payday, go pay for another piece of software that has made your like easier, even if your demo has not yet expired. (And I am not even a developer! I just believe in supporting the efforts of those who CAN create the tools we need)  
(Version 4.5)

PH&-NO  facile d'emploi efficace dans la durée ftp4.5 est ideal

CAPTAIN FTP  We would to take this opportunity to express our shock and our outrage at this subjective action by Joel Mueller.

To see that they have decided to brand all people writing reviews about our software as liars is deeply upsetting.  
(Version 4.5)

JOEL MUELLER  The developer requires users getting an educational license to post a 5-star rating user review. This is confirmed information, and you should be aware of this practice when seeing so many 5-star ratings on MacUpdate for Captain FTP.

Also, be aware that all of the "perfect score" 5-star ratings were posted under user accounts where the only software on MacUpdate they ever reviewed was Captain FTP!  
(Version 4.5)

NUTZ  I'm fairly new to OS X having used Windows for ages. I've tried several other FTP programs and I didn't like the interface. Captain FTP 4.5 is easy to set up - so easy you don't need documentation. The drag and drop feature is smart and fast, but I especially like the 'view' option - I have a photographic site and it is important to double check the graphics files.

An excellent FTP client backup up by a responsive development team and a good user forum.  
(Version 4.5)

PETERPILOTBOY  Captain FTP is a fantastic WYSIWYG FTP client. Files can be copied or transfered simply by dragging and dropping them. Ease of use, however, belies sophistication. The transfer manager allows the user to schedule multiple file transfers for a later time. This ease of use, coupled with advanced settings and general sophistication makes Captain a great FTP client for users with various levels of experience using FTP.  
(Version 4.5)

AMDADDIO  I am a professional photographer and routinely use ftp programs to modify and update my site as well as posting files and html galleries for my clients. I recently began using Captain FTP. It is an absolutely terrific program! Easy to use, intuitive, and makes great use of the Macintosh drag and drop simplicity. I had tried so many file transfer programs in the past, and quite frankly, none come even remotely close to Captain FTP. To date, I have never had a single problem with the program, it is rock solid, and their customer support is amongst the best I have ever encountered with any company. Within a few hours of writing (hadn’t received my serial and key from Macupdate), I received a personal, friendly, and totally helpful reply. It's one of those programs that are just a joy to use, well thought out, user friendly, and actually fun. I'd say it is without a doubt the best file transfer program currently out there. Thanks for such a great application! Ahoy Matie!  
(Version 4.5)

FREKE  I wondered, why I should use commercial software when appropriate freeware is available. But after trying Captain FTP for a few days, I want not return to the freeware programs.

Captain FTP is a rock solid, good-looking and intuitive FTP client supporting FTP, SFTP und SSL and comes with handy Dashboard integration. Upload your files on a fingertip with this great software.

I am really impressed.  
(Version 4.5)

XYZ@123  CaptainFTP is a great file transfer program. I use it to transfer files securely between my workstation, laptop and several servers that I manage at work. It's easy to set up and has a user friendly interface. The best going!  
(Version 4.5)

M.SCHMIDT  I was still looking for a simple,fast and easy to use FTP-Client .

After checking several clients i found that CaptianFTP was the best for me !

This app has all the features i always dreamed about

-> two panel view, >stability< , SFTP-support are only a few features CaptainFTP has (last but not least the cool pirate-logo ;-) ) !

Highly recommended!!  
(Version 4.5)

P.V.MOUCHE  Being a switcher for just a year I was still looking for a decent FPT client. Worked with WS FTP in the past.

I checked several FPT clients (over 10) but didn't find one which was really easy to use, intuitive and of the right quality. Untill I found Captain FPT. The 4.5 version is great. It's very intuitive and performing well. It's drag and drop functionality is super and setting up connections works very nice.

I use the tool on a regular bases as a manage a professional website from a business school. Captain FTP meets all mu needs. Great tool.  
(Version 4.5)

TIGKA  I searched for a simple ftp programm. Then I tested many programms until I found Captain FTP. It was fantastic from the beginning on. Everything works fine. It is very easy to use. Everybody can use it easyly. I will never use an other FTP programm.   
(Version 4.5)

PAULMARSDEN  I'm a convert from PC-ville, and new to Mac-world; still tripping over it's quirks.

I needed a simple FTP program to upload/download files from my webserver - and with Captain FTP, I was pleasantly surprised- it's simple, sleek and intuitive.

Highly recommended  
(Version 4.5)

TMCD35  I was looking for an FTP client for updating our schools website when I came across Captain FTP. It uses a easy to use two pane display with quick and simple to use controls. Unlike other clients, this program has not froze on my aging PowerPC and has remained very stable and reliable. For anybody looking to do a lot of FTP work on an Apple Mac I'd recommend Captain FTP as their first choice in client.  
(Version 4.5)

ALAIN.VANHAVER  I'm a photography teacher at the Academie of Fine Arts and it's important to the Academy to have a stable FTP client. I've been seaching for a while now and Captain FTP has it all.

Captain FTP supports FTP, SFTP and FTP over SSL for file-transferring. By a built-in server I can even securely share my pictures with other students. Additional cool features are bidirecectional synchronisation, virtual folders and scheduled transfers.

The GUI is exceptionally well designed with understandable iconography and tool tips. A two-pane window makes it possible to transfer files not only from client to server but server to server. Captain FTP is really stable and easy to use and I can recommend it to everyone.  
(Version 4.5)

KAB  I used TotalCommander on Win for a long time. When I was searching for a comparable toll on OS X I stumbled over Captain FTP. It lets me browse my local HD and makes it an easier task to move or copy my files. The same can be said about the tasks dealing with FTP.

It is good to know that the software is still progressing so there are continuous updates. Sometimes it feels a bit idle, but that could be my CPU. Overall I consider Captain FTP as very reliable - I use it every day.  
(Version 4.5)

MICHELE ASTERISK  After having used the evaluatin version of this FTP client I just discovered it's much more than "something to upload files".

Easy-to-use, stable, fantastic looking and really flexible.

The user interface seems to come directly from Apple: it 100% integrates the latest style of Mac.

It's a must.

I've tried the Wind version as well: just great!  
(Version 4.5)

ROBERTO BATTISTA  Direct, simple, no fuss, solid and efficient, can handle several connections simultaneously, gives instant access to various accounts with shortcuts, connects immediately, only displays the necessary information, lay-out is clear, does what it's meant to, has what's needed and nothing more, a tool for everyday management the way they should be.  
(Version 4.5)

SCRAPY  Captain ftp supports FTP, SFTP and FTP over SSL for file-transferring. By a built-in server you can even securely share your own files with other users. You can share your captain ftp adress book, too. Additional cool features are bidirecectional synchronisation, virtual folders and scheduled transfers.

Lets go more into detail: Especially I like the Transfer Manager, a built-in tool for monitoring the status and setting the priority of my filetransfers. The intuitive interface design makes it easy to handle file transfers. A two-pane window – one pane each for local and remote volumes makes it possible to transfer files not only from client to server and vice versa, but server to server. This site to site transfers really helps me synchronising my data.

Another nice feature that I often missed is the possibility to directly enter ftp raw commands.

All in all, captain ftp is a really cool and easy to use programm. A download of a trial version will convince you, too!  
(Version 4.5)

OVIVID  I love this FTP client. Easy to use, fast , intuitive and most importantly reliable. Captain FTP has all the features you always dreamed about. Try it out for yourself.  
(Version 4.5)

FORSAKENDAEMON  As a student, I need access to various different FTP servers quickly and easily. Captain FTP has simplified my use of these servers so much - with a single click I have access to my most used files and folders, and I can even make shortcuts to them on my Desktop, copying files to them by drag-and-drop. Such a great program - Thanks a lot!  
(Version 4.5)

SPAZ  This software is by far the best ftp client software out there for Mac OS X. I love the attractive interface; often overlooked in most FTP programs. Why should you be forced to use something ugly just because you're sending files to say, the back-end of a website?

There's so much this program can do. It's got the most stable SFTP support I've seen anywhere - and boy it's quick.

The two pannels, one for local computer and one for remote server, are so easy to use. It's really handy.

What really got me with this FTP Client is the intergration with Bonjour for purposes such as file sharing. I really like how they've added new ideas and innovaions. I'm defiantly buying the upgrade protection - can't wait for the new features!   
(Version 4.5)

POWERTOWIN  After 6 years using Fetch I had to surrender my warship to Captain FTP...

The GUI is great and specialy the speed and ease of operation convinced me that this is the best Mac FTP client available.  
(Version 4.5)

MBOYD  Captain FTP makes accessing my university server a breeze. It is very easy to use and intuitive even for a person who knows very little about FTP clients. In the past I have tried a couple of other FTP clients and didn't find their interface as clear as Captain FTP. It also works seemlessly with my iWeb-created pages... as I need to publish my work-related sites on my university server rather than .mac. And from what I can tell Captain FTP even makes it easier and faster (!!!) to access my .mac account.   
(Version 4.5)

DOITRIGHT  DOITRIGHT Wow . . . very clean interface, and easy to use. My logins are exceptionally quick, with not problems to date uploading or downloading files. This company got my attention . . .as they have the Universal version out for Intel Core Duos. If you are on a Mac, you need this program. And they respond quickly to their emails . . . always a plus. You won't be disappointed.   
(Version 4.5)

CONTRA  I have tried many different FTP clients in the past. When i tried Captain i noticed a dramatic speed increase and much less timing out. I've been using Captain since 3.x and now with 4.5 it has become the best FTP client because of the vast amount of features.  
(Version 4.5)

JEYPEE  Captain FTP has been my choice FTP program from the very beginning of my "Mac career". I tested many FTP programs before but most of them had either a lack of features, were slow or not well designed. Captain FTP is very "clean" like a good OS X program ought to be and it is easy to handle. I use it mainly to update my photo website and to move files between servers. It seems the program gets faster after each update! It's very well maintained. Thanks to all people involved in making it so powerful. I know that there are many more features that I have not used yet. I have no minus points to report at all!

TEACHART  I am a newbie at web design and was having great difficulty uploading files using the ftp in Dreamweaver. Luckilly I found Captain FTP and my problems were solved. The interface is so simple and intuitive that even as a first time user I did not need the "help" page. At $ 25 this quality software is a BARGIN!   
(Version 4.5)

HOMESICK  Großartiges Programm für den Upload von Dateien auf Server. Nicht nur optisch ein wirklicher "Eyecatcher" mit dem signifikanten Icon, sondern auch ein sehr zuverlässiges und stabiles Programm. Durch die beiden Fenster hat man direkte Vergleiche. Zudem kinderleichte Bedienung und intuitive Benutzerführung. Absolut einwandfrei! Sehr zu empfehlen. Das beste FTP-Programm für den MAC auf dem Markt !!!  
(Version 4.5)

SKULLNECK66  I just started using Captian FTP and it is by far the most comprehensive program for sharing files to vendors. Our work is all secure material and I always feel safe using this program. Customer service is tremendous. I also love the pirate layout! ;) very cool product.

ARONA.AT  I was windows user for a long time, but last year i decided to switch to mac.

One of the first programs i was looking for, was a ftp program, but i didn't find a good one until i tried captain ftp.

After some days of testing i orded it and from this time i miss such a good ftp prog on windows ...

the import features of captain ftp for me is that it has 2 windows, picture and text preview, a good log funktion and the import one is the sync funktion (dont want to upload my whole website each time ...)

ps: sry for my bad english ...

HARPER084  Captain FTP is a very logical and simple program to use. Compared to other programs that I've used it by far has worked the best and made my life the easiest. Being a photographer that updates my site quite often, I can use Captain very quickly and easily to spend time on other things. It is definatly the best FTP progam available.   
(Version 4.4.5)

AEON1111  After 10 years of working on a PC platform, I made the switch to Mac last year. Spoiled by all the neat little utilities that are developed for the PC world, I was shocked at how few were available for my Mac. I was especially amazed that when I went to find something as basic as a good FTP software to replace WinFTP, that all the programs out there were totally anemic. After trying 2 different products - and hating them - my Mac technician told me to try Captain FTP. I instantly ordered it- and was pleasantly surprised! An easy-to-use interface, speedy transfers - bottom line: everything I wanted! In the sea of FTP software, Captain FTP makes sure your voyage is a smooth one.  
(Version 4.4.5)

MLIROVICH  I have use other FTP software in the past for PC's and this CaptainFTP for Mac is way cooler. It is easy to use, great graphics, and unexpensive. I would recommend this to pros and enthusiasts.  
(Version 4.4.5)

ARATAJCZAK  I've been using Captain FTP for a few years now and having tried most of the other offerings, this is definitely the best.

The features which I find most useful are the remote editing, editing multiple file permisions and synchronization for the websites I maintain.

The newest version simply 'rocks' and I can't believe how fast it is. As I have to navigate through very large directories to maintain my sites it can take time due to the large number of files and folders. With the new version it flies through and a directory refresh happens in an instant, it is already saving me heaps of time. Actually the sync browsing feature is also very helpful as it allows me to move between the local and remote folders at the same time.

Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

Oh, love the new website too, it looks super.  
(Version 4.4.5)

ELLENEMERSON  I've been using FTP programs since 1997 but at the time used a PC so they were plentiful. When I switched to Apple in 2004 I had a hard time finding an FTP program that I liked. After trying at least 10 other products I finally downloaded Captain and really liked it alot. It was very customizable and has alot of options you can set to your liking. Has an easy to use Address book to store as many connections as you need (I have more than 100). I highly recommend this product for developers and/or infrequent users. The support is great, the price low and it is very stable. I have never had this product freeze up or crash in more than 2 years of use.   
(Version 4.4.5)

BOGEN  Careful, do *not* give these people you e-mail address—they will send you SPAM (and ignore opt-outs) for years to come!  
(Version 4.4.5)

OMKE OUDEMAN  Using Captain FTP is for me a great pleasure. Uploading my photographs to various clients is superfast and very easy.

Once bought with a yearly update garantee you won't be disappointed since there are many updates you get for free.

And they appreciate and listen to feedback from their customers!

Don't hesitate and buy this wonderful application!

EMPEREUR  After the recent update, the speech of downloding went up, but man, it takes forever to connect, and it time about 5 min to just "preparing to copy".

IE. if you want to update a file of 4 kb, it takes you about 5 min to do so.

So in sum, it is worthless.

Too bad.

DEAN KIRKLAND  I have tried many FTP clients in the past, for my needs of uploading large imges and large files, NOTHING in the past has worked as fast and reliable as Capt FTP.

EMPEREUR  Just one quick note, Captain FTP is the closest thing out there in the Mac World that resembles CutFTP. (I must say Mac doesn't have much softwares out there as PC does)

One problem, why so slow? I have ADSL, about 300kb/s download speed, but only 3 to 4kb with Cap FTP, like in 1999 with dial up.

What's the cause, would appreciate if one can explain.

Whilst I am back to Cyberduck, which gives me 70kb/s speed.  
(Version 4.3)

DRZHARN  This is an execelent FTP program. I find it very easy to use. Has lots of features! And as a PC user most of the time I can use this software with realitive ease. I even realy like the Logo!. On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate this as a 10!  
(Version 4.3)

MATT  i had no idea what ftp was until i had to upload some images and i was recommended captain ftp 4.3. at first i had a bit of trouble but was guided through it easily and promptly by john. fast and easy to transfer, really good. would recommend captain ftp to anyone. thanks again john, matt  
(Version 4.3)

RSTOCKER  I use FTP a ton and this utility never lets me down and is worth every penny. I got first class customer service and all emails responses were very fast.

Top rated utility: DROP Virtual Folders and Synch are fantastic and work perfectly, even for files that were 1GB.

Keep up the good work John S.  
(Version 4.3)

ANDY COLE  Best FTP program for MACS, user friendly interface, everything you would expect from a first rate utility!

Uploading, Downloading, synchronization, scheduling work like a charm. The logo looks scary bit I have found this to be a very user friendly pirate.  
(Version 4.3)

MATTHIAS DAMM  Not a bad app, but expensive.

In the past, the authors have been charging high update fees for minor updates like 4.1 and 4.2 if you did not subscribe to the expensive "Upgrade Protection".

4.3 is free to all 4.x users now (bravo to this decision!), but I would not expect that this will be true for future updates as well.

The interface seems to have grown less clumsy than in earlier versions, but still is not really Mac-like.

Check out the alternatives before spending your money here, there are plenty of better alternatives (free and commercial)!  
(Version 4.3)

FLEBELEB  Be sure to check the free Cyberduck before pulling out your credit cards. I used Fetch and Captain for a long time before definitively switching to Cyberduck that may have less obscure & arcane functions but that fill all my file transfer needs.  
(Version 4.3)

KIBA  simple smart and easy!  
(Version 4.2)

ALAIN  I just love Captain FTP, it's stable and very intuitive.

As a photographer, I often have to upload very large files (+100MB) and Captain FTP is the only one who does it without complaining.  
(Version 4.2)

JEFFRY FINER  Simple, clean and very fast. I'ved dumped my other FTP agents and strictly use Captain now. The edit in BBEdit is a great time saver.

New Tiger version is sweet!  
(Version 4.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  slow, ugly client. looks & feels like something a 14 year old would perpetrate with a pirated copy of realbasic. costs almost as much as transmit, and nowhere near as good.  
(Version 4.0.1)

NEDLYJ  Fast connection, excellent usability - the best I've found for OSX.

I'm coming from the Windows world where I was a big WSFTPPro and CuteFTP user. I looked for quite a while when I moved to Mac to find a comparable ftp program that fit my workflow and the conventions I'm used to. Finding Captain FTP was a godsend. So far the product has exceeded my expectations. All of the functionality I was used to is there (setting up address books, setting double-click to send file(s), access to unix chmod commands, intuitive transfer manager, two-panel UI, easily setting default connection folders for each site, etc.) - along with new functionality like cross-site transfers. Also, CFTP connects to sites quickly (I've tried others that don't) and keeps an active stable connection. I'm extremely happy with the product.  
(Version 4.0)

ANONYMOUS  A quality product, so far it has been the most versatile FTP application I have used and the only one I have managed to get to successfully work with certain systems.

A solid update with a definite improvement to the synchronise feature which in itself was very handy.  
(Version 4.0)

REDMAN  Well being using it for abut 3 days, do not like the interface at all. Works pretty well. I think it is a little confusing I am use to seeing the remte computer on the right side as with transmit, or yummy, I read here that someone else has tried yummy, and like it. I also tried it and it is great !Captain FTP is nice, I also have read some where that they charge for paid updates! Well I think for me being a student that I will not beable to afford the updates(if this is true) I think I will stick with transmit for now as I have bought it, Yummy would be a great alternative, if I had the extra caash to spend. I think I would not buy Captain FTP I prefer something easy to nav.and with out the paid upgrades, Each to his own, But it for sure not the most prettest FTP aground, Reminds me with some of the icons of CUTE FTP for PC, like the connection icon!   
(Version 4.0)

TOMMYBEAR  I'm really impressed!

I have to be admit to being really impressed with Captain FTP 4.0. I have been using a number of FTP clients over the last few years, and this is by far the best.

The network file sharing is really cool, there are a couple of us in our office, and now we can share our files with each other really easily and help each other work on them. I also tried this with a colleague of mine in another city, and it worked well also, so a big thumbs up.

The tabbed interface is really nice too as we maintain a number of websites, and we can update all of them really easily by having a tab open for each of them.

So far I haven't encountered any problems, and the program is very stable. There are a number of other new features or improvements, but the two I mentioned above really make buying this client value for money.

As in previous versions of Captain FTP, downloading large files is really much quicker, and has really made our job much easier.  
(Version 4.0)

ANNA  I got the upgrade yesterday, and it's great. The ability to connect with other Captain users it really cool, and could prove to be invaluable.

I was reading the comments about the site below, and I kind of like the logo and whole nautical thing, it has an edge whereas most sites are boring and all look the same. As a Mac user I prefer to buy from companies who are creative and don't appear to be using the same old boring Microsoft, or corporate template. Anyway the product is great who really cares whats on the website.

Just filling in the ratings and in my opinion CFTP should be allocated double points for the wealth of features - it's suitable for the heavy duty user, and the novice.

ANONYMOUS  I have tried several other FTP programs I absolutely love your product, but the logo scares people off. People tend to think virus when they see the logo. I still recommend the product to friends.  
(Version 4.0)

SMOKED  Well It looks nice, except for the big buttons at the bottom, There website is the worst ever! But this has nothing to do with the product! I have tired it for the last 5 days, No problems, but Yummy is much faster and this crap about buying upgrade security is for the birds! I mean in general you get normally at least 6 months or a year of free upgrades, Sounds to me like there are going to start to chage for upgrades, and I will never buy from a company that makes me feel that they are only interested in my money ! (Just my option) I bought transmit and was thinking abut buying this one as well, but tried yummy and it is a little faster on downloading and a little better designed! I wrote to the dev. of this app, 3 days no reply! Wrote also to yummy support 12 hous replied with a fix, Get yummy you will not be disapointed! And to the captain, change your webpage it looks like sh*t. Can no sell something when the first thing a user see is something so ugle and also you only speak about MONEY ! GIVE people a chance to download it then speak about the upgrade, Look at there site people, only trying to sell everything! Get a clue!

ANONYMOUS  still not supporting fxp :/  
(Version 4.0)

ANONYMOUS  There is no free FTP software that can handle Unicode.

That said, the author needs to study the Macintosh UI Guidelines.  
(Version 4.0)

MRANDRE  Great ideas, sloppily implemented.  
(Version 4.0)

WACKLOWITSCH  Very strange . . .

Isn't there enough great FTP-Freeware?

So why should we pay US$ 25.00?

:-o  
(Version 3.5)

GORAN  The Swiss Army Knife of FTP applications for Mac OS X. Actuall it probably has more than a Swiss Army knife, but the best for me is the quicker downloads, transfer manager, automatic scheduling of transfers when you are out of the office etc, and many more.

I would definitely recommend this product, as you may have probably guessed ;->.  
(Version 3.5)

BERTRAND  I've been a user of Captain FTP since v. 2.1

Just one thing to say: this is absolutely worth the euros spent. Reliable, quick, easy, no pain, no brainer.  
(Version 3.5)

ANONYMOUS  Seriously, this is good stuff... but can we PLEASE not have the gigantic orb icons at the bottom... at least let me remove them?  
(Version 3.5)

ANONYMOUS  Captain FTP works on OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) as well.  
(Version 3.3)

ANONYMOUS  I have been a user for over the last 6 months. This is by far THE BEST macintosh ftp program available. As I have added suggestions, the developer has been kind enough to implement them. Imagine that. The newest feature, virtual drag and drop, for uploading files, is simply fantastic. Worth every penny.  
(Version 3.3)

ROLLINGFLO  This pirate captain actually is a friendly guy. :-) And he even comes with a good manual, though he is easy enough to use for most.

Captain FTP is very stabile and fast and has many features others don't have. Just look at the features list and compare... some of them have become invaluable to me though I didn't expect them to be so useful.

Version 3.3 fixes some problems and adds some new features that seem quite cool. All work as they should in my tests.

A very good piece of Mac software.   
(Version 3.3)

JAN PETERSON  I'm very new to web stuff, and Captian FTP has been very easy to learn how to use. I give it five stars!  
(Version 3.2)

RICK CONROY  Looking for a simple and reliable FTP program? This is the one.

I recently switched to Captain FTP from another FTP program, and find it more robust, easier to use, and faster.

Recommended.  
(Version 3.1.1)

DAVID JONES  This is a great program. Cleanly designed, fast and very easy to use. Highly recommended!!  
(Version 3.0)

SUSAN  How can a great product get better? With each version I've used, I think they have topped themselves. But Captain FTP gets better and better with each version. I've been using Captain FTP since 1.4 and have loved it ever since. I've recently upgraded to the new version and the additional features are wonderful. The integrated Rendezvous makes file sharing a breeze between by Macs. And what's even better, is the great service the people from Captain FTP provide. Whenever I have a question or problem, it's solved in a jiffy. Great going guys!  
(Version 3.0)

ANONYMOUS  Best FTP program for MACS, user friendly interface, everything you would expect from a first rate utility!  
(Version 2.7.J)

ALEXIS MCKENNEY  I strongly recommend this software. I've been managing our department website for about 4 years now and have struggled with a number of ftp products. Captain FTP has been excellent. The upgrade has made things even easier. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for ftp software!  
(Version 2.7.J)

RICK BOLIEN  Great, easy to use, and solid! What more could you want?  
(Version 2.7.J)

ANONYMOUS  FINALLY. A great MAC ftp program that offers SSL to connnect securely to the rest of the world that ARE NOT unix servers. Great attention to detail. A must upgrade.  
(Version 2.7.J)

ANONYMOUS  great program. would be better is SSL support added for security to work with windows servers  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  Not bad looking. Highly functional, Very reliable.  
(Version 2.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  Thank you Captain, wonderfully easy to use, works every time without fail. Bkessings!

SIMON  I was skeptical, but blown away, stylish, quick, simple and dead reliable. A dream to use, congratulations guys and girls at Captain I wish all shareware was this good.  
(Version 1.4)

MARKARTS  The best FTP software for Mac OS X (jaguar).

Nothing comes close to this!!!

Basic, easy and does the job, thats what it all about.

Kudos to the team for putting this software together.  
(Version 1.4)

ACRAPPA  CaptainFTP has a few flaws, such as no key command to disconnect from servers, but overall it's a great client. The interface could use a bit of touching up, but even so it's still on par with every other FTP client. What makes CaptainFTP so nice is that it's very stable and offers a free license.  
(Version 1.4)

STEVEN F  Excellent product!! Allows you to keep multiple connections, connects seamlessly, and is a breeze to operate. Fully customizable without having to compromise any functionality. The only point that may prove to be inconvenience is that if you are moving a file into a remote folder that is an updated version of a file that already exists in that folder, the program asks you the usual "want to replace?" question rather than keeping track of the version as some FTP programs do. No biggie if you ask me unless you are like me and move several files several times a day. Will recommend this without any hesitation. By the way, very friendly folks at Captain FTP!  
(Version 1.3.2)

ANONYMOUS  I have looked at many and been disapointed by most...but Captain takes the seas by storm...great software beautfuly executed..the BMW of ftp!  
(Version 1.3.2)

L. H. JONES  Excellent interface, excellent operation very elegant and perfect for the Mac. So easy to set up and go quickly to get the job done. A+++++  
(Version 1.3.2)

ANONYMOUS  Works well and fast ... I like it.  
(Version 1.2)

ANONYMOUS  It's a slick-looking program but on my system it was very buggy. It crashed on a dropped connection, it gave error messages that had nothing to do with reality (we used it between 2 side-by-side machines, so we knew which messages were bogus) and it asked for confirmation every time I asked it to do anything. Selection and transfer was straightforward but not exactly smooth. Crashed several times on my machine. In short, I found this to be a full-featured but clunky program. A little more polish and it could be quite nice.  
(Version 1.0)

ANONYMOUS  I've only used it a couple of times but it works fine. I'll buy it.  
(Version 1.0)

CATHV  Easy to use with nice interface!
