Get rid of that filezilla crap off the vote list. Seriously.

Yummy FTP for Mac. It blows cyberduck and transmit out of the water. No competition.

I'm sorry, the voters seem to think otherwise.

FileZilla was my weapon of choice for a long time, but having recently tried WinSCP I doubt I'll ever go back. FZ is a decent simple user-friendly FTP client (and server) but WinSCP is miles ahead in terms of functionality, and its a little bit smoother in operation also.

I don't particularly see why FileZilla is getting so many votes. Statistically, FileZilla would have to so much better than their competition (e.g., far more features, far less memory/CPU usage, far better security, etc. etc.) to garner over half the votes legitimately. But it doesn't - it's not *that* much better than the others to get that many. So I call 'suspicious'.

To be fare this should be divided up Windows and mac because the windows will always get more vote more users and add the other mac ones available.

FileZilla adds layers of complexity I simply don't need. While Cyberduck runs a very very close second to FireFTP, I have found that Cyberduck's connection is flakey and peeyuuney at times, where FireFTP seems to have quite a bit more stamina. I can't for the life of me imagine why this would be. So there.

I also don't see why FileZilla is getting more votes. I had nothing but problems with it.

Personally, my favorite is SmartFTP.
