Need a good SFTP client for macOS

Software & Operating Systems Mac

I am looking for a good SFTP client for macOS as I have found both FileZilla and CyberDuck unsatisfactory. On my Windows I mainly use WinSCP. To me it is the best of both worlds but it doesn’t exist on macOS so here we are.

My issues with FileZilla:

  • The UX is bad.
  • Upload speeds are very slow for single files (On the same server and same internet, uploading using Cyberduck is ~10x faster than FileZilla)

My issues with Cyberduck:

  • Doesn’t support multiple tabs
  • Won’t automatically transfer multiple files of a folder in parallel (this feature helps significantly with throughput when internet conditions aren’t ideal)

I had similar issues with FileZilla and CyberDuck on macOS. I ended up switching to Transmit, and it’s been a much smoother experience for SFTP.

+1 for Transmit.

Transmit looks promising but ideally I would like something that is free.
