Cyberduck

The latest beta supports Services (the menu you never go to but that got usable again in Mac OS X 10.6) to send files and data between applications. The support in Cyberduck, offers a nice new way to quickly upload files from the Finder to a server.

• Using Services you can select a file to be uploaded. Choose Finder → Services → Files and Folders → Upload or right click a file in the Finder to send it to Cyberduck.
  
• Alternativly you can still drag files to the application icon (for example in the Dock) as before.

The Transfers window will open with a sheet attached to select the bookmark to upload the files to.

Read more in the wiki about options for file uploads.

The latest snapshot build of Cyberduck supports multipart uploads to Amazon S3. The benefits are twofold:

• Concurrent upload of parts of the file (currently configured up to 10 parallel requests) making use of all available bandwidth.
• The size limit for files is 5TB instead of 5GB.

Give it a try if you are moving big files.

The neglected previous forum at cocoaforge.com for user questions and anwers has been closed and is now replaced with a Cyberduck Google Group which should make it easier to engage with other users of Cyberduck discussing workflows and possible issues. I’ll chime in regularly answering questions if needed. The Help Wiki is maintained as another great resource for users of Cyberduck.

Update: The public beta is now available. Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 required. Features in version 4.0 and onward will be on par for both Mac and Windows. For users migrating to Cyberduck from third-party software, bookmarks with connection details of various other FTP clients are imported. Users of the private beta can use the ‘Check for Update…’ feature in Cyberduck to automatically update. Spread the word and many thanks for your continued support!

The public beta of Cyberduck for Windows 4.0 is scheduled for arrival on Monday, 13. December 2010.

Cyberduck 3.8 is now available fixing tons of issues.
