Cyberduck-2.1beta5

Cyberduck is an open source SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer) and FTP browser licenced under the GPL. Cyberduck features the same intuitive interface for both FTP and SFTP browsing. Cyberduck is now Mac only, with a completly rewritten user interface using the Cocoa Framework.


You can open connections to multiple servers thanks to its document based interface. A simple favorites manager
allows you to store frequently-used servers.


Drag and drop is supported for both downloading and uploading files. Just drag the file(s) or folder from the Finder to the browser window or vice versa to start the transfer.


File deletion and renaming, checking and changing of permissions is possible with a Finder-like info panel.

What's new in 2.1beta5


  • HTTP is now supported again. Files can be downloaded from regular web servers.

  • Cyberduck can now be configured as the default FTP helper application. See "http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/moreInternet/". This seems to work with Safari and Internet Explorer.

  • Dragging files to the Finder is now more reliable.

  • The transfer panel does now close again if defined so in the preferences.

  • The buffer size (the size of download chunks to keep in memory before writing to disk) is now adjustable.

  • Login to anonymous FTP servers where no password is needed is now supported.

  • Smaller bug fixes
