Yummy FTP is an FTP, FTP SSL/TLS and SFTP client that combines all the best features available in other file transfer solutions, makes them better, adds a wealth of its own uniquely powerful capabilities, and then powers them all with a highly tuned FTP engine.
The result is a very fast, very flexible and completely reliable file transfer utility for Mac OS X, wrapped up in a gorgeous and highly intuitive user interface, sporting Finder-like FTP browsers, toolbars and drag and drop simplicity throughout. Yum!
Version 1.8 of Yummy FTP is a significant upgrade over previous versions
30+ New Features Far too many new features and enhancements to list! Some of the most unique new additions are highlighted below, but you can download the Read Me for a full listing
Open In Terminal This handy shortcut saves you time by opening a new Terminal session, connecting to your server and navigating to the correct directory. Works on your Mac folders too
Server-side Delete / Duplicate If you regularly uses these two operations they can be very time consuming with Yummy acting as the intermediary, but now if the server is capable it can be instructed to perform these tasks on your behalf. The resulting speed increase is impressive
Diff Everywhere Yummy is now compatible with a range of external “diff” tools – apps that let you compare two files and visually see the differences. This allows you to compare files at key times, such as while examining the preview shown prior to a directory synchronization, or when examining a transfer or remote edit conflict, or simply on demand
Other Standard Features
Turbo-charged Transfers The only Mac FTP client with recursive batch transfers, Yummy ensures your bandwidth is fully loaded with transfer data until the job is complete, resulting in the fastest FTP transfers on the Mac. In fact, Yummy is so fast that customers said “Yummy is too fast!” so now you can specify exactly just how fast or slow it goes using the Bandwidth Control feature
Automatic Failure Recovery Fed up of baby sitting your transfers? While other FTP clients just display an error message when something goes wrong, Yummy automatically retries and resumes until the job is done – truly, FTP that just works
Synchronization Heaven Yummy’s powerful directory synchronization engine will transfer changed files automatically for your web site or offsite backup. A preview capability allows you to see what will be transferred before anything happens, allowing any unwanted items to be disabled. Best of all, Yummy’s built-in scheduler allows for automatic unattended synchronizations, repeating at specific intervals or just a one off
FTP Uploads from the Desktop Not just another lame FTP upload Widget.. Yummy’s unique FTP Alias works just like a regular alias to a folder – drag and drop onto it to upload directly to a pre-defined server and destination directory or double click it to view the directory contents. But the beauty is that not only can FTP Aliases be located anywhere on your Mac, they also work totally independantly of Yummy FTP, meaning you can send them to your clients to use as a totally free FTP upload utility!

Just buy it, already!
I’ve used YummyFTP for several years now. It’s quick, easy to use, and the few times I’ve contacted the developer on his forums, he’s replied within hours.
Okay, I have one grief with it, I can’t stand the icon. Otherwise, it’s really a great product!

Even at the regular price-tag this software is worth every penny. At this price you’d be a fool if you didn’t bite.
Best ftp client on the Mac. Once you’ll use this one you’ll never look back…

I would like to know how upddates are handled. Does a license include updates for a certain period or within one major version or what is the policy?
I have seen that Yummy FTP 2.x seems around the corner. Does this license include version 2.x or will this be a paid upgrade if I buy now?

@ Rees & Jo* : Thank you for your lovely comments! :)
@ Norbert : So far, all updates and upgrades (since 2004!) have been free of charge. You’re right … I am developing v2.0 and it will be a paid upgrade for *some* users, but it is not around the corner by any means. I do realize that people get ‘stung’ by some of these kind of offers on the Internet, so I can state quite categorically that people who have bought v1.8 (or later) will get a free upgrade to 2.0 when it is available. I think it’s only fair.

Excellent software. I, too, have been using this for years. It’s simple, easy for an “average Joe” like me to understand, and it works beautifully.

Excellent software: very fast, very reliable and nice features set. At this price it’s a steal! Go grab it!

Very fine ftp client. No S3 support, though. Is that forthcoming in 2.0?
February 27th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
@ j : To be perfectly honest, although I’m comitted to adding WebDAV support in 2.0, S3 is currently not on the cards for that release. Having said that, it is on my To Do list so it will be added at some point, but definitely after to the 2.0 release.

Using Yummy FTP for two or three three years now and still absolutely very happy with it. Over the years free updates/fixes came on a regular basis which I highly appreciate.

I won a copy! Awesome!

@ Tommy: Congrats! :)

Yummy is the best FTP, bar none for the Mac! I have used it extensively since 2004 – every since switching from Winders. I recommend it to all Mac users that I run into!
Since the upgrade price would probably apply to me, would I be better off buying this now through MacZot or paying for the 2.0 upgrade?
Thanks!

@ Dennis : Firstly, thanks!! As far as the upgrade is concerned, no definite price has been set yet, but I’ve been toying with a figure roughly between $5 to $10, but certainly no higher, so you might actually be slightly worse off if you purchased this offer.
@ All my existing customers : Thank you for the glowing recommendations!! :)
@ Everyone : Great Zot! Thanks for taking part.
