Cyberduck

Version 3.1 has been released into the wild today! Read about all the new features and enhancements in the changelog.

Update: A bugfix release is available for a crashing bug affecting some users and restoring compatiblity with MobileMe iDisk and other WebDAV server implementations. Use the ‘Check for Update…’ feature in Cyberduck to automatically update your already installed version. If your 3.1 installation crashes immediately on launch, open Terminal.app from the Utilities folder in your Applications and paste the command exactly as below
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck connection.login.name myusername
This will set a default username that was previously empty and caused version 3.1 to crash. Relaunch Cyberduck and install the automatic update.

A new previously requested feature will make it into the upcoming 3.1 release: On the server side archive creation and expanding for TARs and ZIPs with a click of a button.

Note: This feature does only work for SFTP connections.

Try it out yourself using the latest available nightly build of Cyberduck.

Previously, it was only possible to send custom commands to a server when connected over FTP. As of the latest 3.1 nightly builds, you can choose Go → Send Command… for SFTP connections which allows you to execute an arbitrary command on the server.

It is nevertheless still possible to conviniently open a proper shell with Terminal.app for the current working directory. Use View → Customize Toolbar… to add the Terminal.app button to your browser windows.

In the screenshot below a ps command has been executed:

Note: This feature is meant for advanced users who are familiar with UNIX shells.

Try it out yourself using the latest available nightly build of Cyberduck.

As we are speaking of the cloud distribution features in the last posts, Cyberduck 3.1 will also have a pre-configured protocol setting for MobileMe iDisk. You are no more required to enter the WebDAV protocol connection parameters manually.

Try it out yourself using the latest available nightly build of Cyberduck.

In addition to the previous post. A screenshot speaks a thousand words.
