FTP
Mac OS X Lion Support. A preview release of Fugu 1.2.1, an Intel-only build for Mac OS X 10.5 and above, is available download here: Fugu 1.2.1pre1. A final release of Fugu 1.2.1 will be available soon. Thanks for your support of Fugu! Please consider donating to ensure the continued development and improvement of the project. SFTP is similar to FTP, but unlike FTP, the entire session is. No longer supported binary format starting with Lion (OS X 10.7) Summary. Good, but outdated. Compatible with Mac OS X Lion. Now, long ago we’d call Transmit an “FTP client”, but today, with Transmit 5, we connect to lots of different server types and cloud services. For example, Amazon S3 dramatically changed the way files are served on the internet, and Transmit is a great way to manage your Amazon S3 buckets. Download Cyberduck for macOS 10.8 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. Cyberduck is an FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox browser to transfer files to your web hosting service provider and connecting to cloud storage accounts from Rackspace Cloud Files, Google.
Since upgrading to Lion (10.7) the option to enable the FTP server has disappeared for, I assume, security reasons.
Nonetheless, an FTP server is still available to the user. Let’s see how it can be started from a CLI one-liner:
You can immediately confirm that by trying:
NOTE: files will be served from the user’s home directory.
To stop the FTP server just issue:
TFTP
To start/stop a TFTP server replace ftp.plist with tftp.plist.
The source directory in this case will be /private/tftpboot.
NOTE: the files must be readable.
SFTP
As fas as SFTP (S=secure) goes instead, this can be enabled through System Preferences’ Sharing application. It’s not explicitly mentioned but if Remote Login (SSH) is on then the computer’s IP address will also respond to SFTP/SCP requests.
For the tech-savvy, yes, this is better referenced to as FTP over SSH.
