Cyberduck

What do you like best?

Cyberduck is reasonably priced, easy to use, and has all of the functionality I need. It's a great FTP solution that can work with any major storage vendor. I manage media archiving for my company so I'm constantly uploading and downloading large video files. It has always worked with no issues.

What do you dislike?

The interface is functional, but very utilitarian. Some users might prefer a more graphical interface. On a similar note, transfer progress is shown in a separate pop-up window, instead of in the main app screen, and can get lost behind other windows. It's a small inconvenience, but having one unified interface for functionality and updates would be nice.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It's a great FTP program. The minor issues I have with the interface are not unusual - I've used other file transfer programs and they share many interface features. But Cyberduck connects to almost any cloud service you can think of, it's secure, it's updated regularly, and it has a great reputation. I wouldn't think of using anything else for FTP.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I manage media archiving for my company. Videos, photos, audio files that need to be backed up are transferred to a secure space in the cloud, and I do that transferring with Cyberduck. I regularly move files back and forth. File transfer is always smooth and I've never had any issues.
