OSX Ftp client?

[Chazam]

Hello all.
Is there a built in FTP client for OSX or are there any downladable ones available?

[michaelsanford]

Built in, yes. In the Finder choose Go -> Connect to Server (or hit Apple-K on the keyboard) and enter the server. It will mount like a remote volume on your desktop.

For SFTP and a lot of other features I am a long-time devotee of CaptainFTP http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12941

you can also use terminal for ftp if you don't need the gui.

and rbrowser lite is one more free thing to try.

If non of those tickle your fancy, Transmit is pretty darn good.

Find it here http://www.panic.com/transmit/

I have to second Gia on this one - as far as the rbrowserlite goes. terrific ftp app (especially if you're coming from the windows world)

Be warned that the Finder's FTP implementation is read-only, so you won't be able to copy files to an FTP server.

Try Cyberduck (look on www.macupdate.com )
Really quite good, only thing I'm not happy about is there is no option to batch-change permissions on files (annoying if you use PHP)

Try downloading "Transmit" on versiontracker.com
I think, this is the best FTP-client!
