This appears to work similarly to the version commonly used with Firefox. I think there may be less control but in general its working well. What would be nice is if we also got a button to place in the toolbar to quickly access or perhaps temporarily turn off the plugin- like FireFox's..

Thanks for thinking of the Safari users!

Parallels hosed my WinXP (BootCamp) install again..

I removed the Parallel tools from my BootCamp volume and it replaced my DX files with some lame Wine version of files (according to the system) that refuses to be removed or replaced. This is the third time this has happened causing me to reinstall Windows. I'm done with bug reports, I'm done with reinstalls and I'm done with Parallels. My VmWare Fusion installs never harmed the system. I'm dropping this once and for all. If only VMWare was as granular with their settings like Parallels is..

A bargain at the price.

I like the software but its really not mature enough for my needs. I'm going to let my license go on this- other solutions with support for BC volumes are better serving myself and clients.

Good luck with future support- I'll check back in sometime in 2010.

If your printer is working- don't bother. Making the wrong move with CUPS will mean a system reinstall for many.

I've begun compiling Universal binaries. Please download again and retry that version. If you resolved your problems then don't do it- leave well enough alone I think.. :)

Try installing a previous version found at my download page and let me know if you have a problem please. Otherwise you may be having other problems that affect the clean install. One thing I found with failed CUPS installations is that some PPC applications like MS Office will not launch correctly or crash at launch. Still other PPC apps should continue to work fine. I have yet to resolve the issues you are experiencing once core system elements are completely hosed short of an Archive install of the system from Apple's discs.

I have, however, come to the conclusion that the problems existed before CUPS was installed - installation simply makes a bad situation worse.

I've been compiling and making available the binary for Mac OS X. You can find it here: http://homepage.mac.com/a.ramos/FileSharing4.html

Enjoy and be careful.

I've been using FileZilla as one of the best and only freeware Windows FTP applications for some time- it was a godsend for a long time with some very robust functionality.. For the longest time I wanted it or something free like it on the Mac- and we have CyberDuck but its another sickening Mac lickable gui. I tried FileZilla in its Mac beta iterations and it was good enough to use but now its a solid point release and I'm likely to ditch CyberDuck for it.

This reminds be of Temple of Apshai. Anyone remember that? Of course in ToA there was much less needed in the way of system overhead. Imagine... 1Ghz needed to play this?! Whoa. There's something not quite optimized going on here. Still as most Macs of today are well over this requirement I have no real hard issues. Lots of old skool fun to be had.

I've used this client with Windows for years and have found it to be dependable and fast. I have NEVER had a problem that kept me from getting work done- anything that required a patch or other attention by the developers was done promptly.

BRAVO for bringing this to Mac OS X. Another piece of proof the Mac platform is growing .. Those who venture forth into the new OS' (new to them anyway) take their beloved tools with them.. and this is one of them. If you don't like this tool and prefer a more Mac-like inferface try CyberDuck instead but that would be for a purely cosmetic reason.
