I also did a small side-test over FTP (instead of SFTP) between Transmit and ForkLift Have any overall progress bar, it only shows progress for the current file in transfer. Transfers, Coda and Transmit are way too optimistic in the beginning of a transfer,įorkLift is way too pessimistic in the beginning and Cyberduck bounces from fast to slowĪnd back during the entire transfer. Is also pretty darn fast! Transmit and Coda really disappointed me on this test.Ĭyberduck is particularly slow on downloads.įun fact Progress bars (or Coda’s circle) are a complete joke on multi-file In the multi file test ForkLift is killing every other app. Multi file test results Multi file test was done with a folder of 137.9 MB containing 5529 items. Coda seems to slow down half way into the Almost all apps, except Coda, maxed out myĬonnection limit at about 2.3-2.6 MB/sec. Single file test results Single file test was done with a 550.60 MB tar.gz file.

Second with a folder containing php, html and image files organized in subfolders. The first being with one single large file, and the I kept my connection as unused as possible, thus pausing DropBox,ĬrashPlan and wireless Timemachine backups. It bit faster because it doesn’t use encryption. Where done over SFTP, which is the connection type I use most. Ultimately I decided to take the following clients for a test drive:Īnd Coda (I know Coda isn’t really an FTP client).Īll tests where done twice, both results where then added up and divided in 2. Other FTP clients to see how they stack up against Cyberduck. git and it won’t allow you to auto-change permissions for files and folders onīut the difference in speed was significant enough to convince me to look around for The problem with ForkLift is that it’s more focused on Finder type stuffįor example Forklift won’t let you set any “skip rules” for files like. A couple of months ago however I bought ForkLift in the Mac App Store (MAS) to use as anĪlternative for Finder and noticed ForkLift also has FTP capabilities.Īfter trying ForkLift’s FTP capabilities I felt like it left Cyberduck in the dust.Īmazingly fast.
