Cyberduck is a popular free and open source FTP client for Mac and Windows. It is developed by David V. Kocher, and has been used extensively since 2003. Cyberduck isn't simply another knock-off FTP client, rather it takes a very unique (and simple!) approach to file transfers.

Cyberduck's feature list includes:

• Secure file transfers with SFTP and FTP-SSL.
• Easy file management with cut and paste as well as drag and drop.
• File previews so you can view the files before you download them.
• Password-less authentication with ssh keys.

Monitoring File Transfers with Cyberduck

Cyberduck doesn't clutter up the window with features you don't need all of the time. However, you'll want to be familiar with the Log Drawer and the Transfers window so that you're always in the know.

Using Bookmarks with Cyberduck

Cyberduck's bookmarking system is incredibly creative. Bookmarks can be exported to Finder / Win Explorer, so connecting to your ExaVault account is as simple as double-clicking on an icon.
