I was wondering just this. I used for years on OS 9 and it looked like much much more than I ever needed. It was very good. But CB is good too, at least on Tiger it is. -- dorayme

In finder: Menu-> GO -> Connect to server specify ftp://ip.ad.dre.ss , then endter username/passsowrd and you have a finder window and can play with files as if they were local. It doesn't work on all remote FTP servers though. (I think it assumes a unix file system at the other end). For those servers that are not supported, you can you ftp at the command line and that works.

Even on unix servers there are hiccups like files appear to be locked that are not reported locked on Cyberduck, lots of warning notices come up when you try to actually open the files on these servers etc... But it is not a bad idea JF for having a quick look at what is on the servers. -- dorayme |
