SFTP Commander is a file transfer application with a lightweight but very functional user interface inspired by web browsers. Therefore it has an address bar, ‘back’ and ‘forward’ buttons, and managing bookmarks and browsing history. All you need for using FTP/SFTP on macOS.
The app is well integrated with the operating system and supports technologies like drag & drop, Touch Bar, Notification Center, and more.
The app allows you to connect to the following types of servers
SFTP
FTP
FTPS - implicit FTP over SSL/TLS
FTPES - explicit FTP over SSL/TLS
Today, most Linux systems support SFTP or FTPES (also called ’explicit FTPS’). Publicly available file archives that do not need additional security use FTP.
For older FTP, FTPS, FTPES, and SFTP servers that do not support UTF8 you can select character encoding to use.
In addition to supporting traditional file management operations (like browsing, downloading, uploading, removing, renaming, etc.) -SFTP Commander allows you to
Preview remote files with QuickLook
Edit remote files
Search for files on a server
Upload and download directories with content
Use drag & drop for uploading and downloading
Resume interrupted files downloads and uploads
Compute the size of remote directories
Change permissions for files and directories
If in your local network you have servers that expose their file services over Bonjour, SFTP Commander can discover that and show you the list so that you can connect easily.
