"FTP tool for MAC user"

(Original )Information
What do you like best about ForkLift?

I use FTP for file transfers pretty much everyday. Easy dual pane interface to navigate, Forklift has been my goto FTP app for many years. It does everything I need in a simple organized way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ForkLift?

My only issue with Forklift is it sometimes hangs a bit before the file transfers start. This might not be a Forklift issue, it could be my hosts, but there is no real way to know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ForkLift:

When you come from a different FTP product, there is a learning curve here. Simple things like "Window placement" can be done, just need to learn where/how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ForkLift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need an FTP to transfer files between many cloud hosts, and I need one that just works. Setup is easy, bookmarks are easy to navigate, and can have multiple connections open at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
