    Hi, can someone tell me what ftp software would be best to use?
    I am on a Mac and need something that works well and is free to use.
    I have tried a few like CyberDuck but have had so many issues with them that I NEED something more reliable.

    A little help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    FileZilla is the best and most used out there.. You could also consider using a premium ftp software called CuteFtp it's very good too.

    Here is a list of top 5 free FTP clients:
    - Filezilla
    - WinSCP
    - CyberDuck
    - FireFTP
    - Swish

    I personally use FireFTP, which is a Mozilla Firefox add-on which enables you to transfer files securely without installing additional software to your computer.

    Cheers,
    Nabil

    Filezilla & SmartFTP are great independent client level programs. If you want something integrated into your browser, and you you FireFox, give FireFTP a shot, I use it religiously.
