I want to use FTP to transfer files, but I'm not sure about the process. Do I need to install some kind of client, or is there an inbuilt solution.
I don't quite get the connection process itself...
Please suggest the best working and reliable way for Mac.
Maybe a third-party solution that you have positive experience with.
Thank you

You can use the built-in Terminal app. But it doesn't have a graphical user interface like third-party clients. I mean that it would be easier for a beginner to work in a clear interface.
First of all, I think you should try an FTP client, it is easier to get to grips with FTP/SFTP file transfer protocols. A detailed guide on how to connect via FTP, including Terminal: https://ftp-mac.com/how-to-use-ftp-on-mac.html
So as an FTP client, I would look at Commander One with a built-in terminal or Transmit. Great for beginners
Hi,
FTP command was deleted since High Sierra, so you need to reinstall ftp command with Homebrew
1) Install Homebrew.
2) Install FTP command.

3) Type $ "rehash" at command prompt.
4) Type $ "which ftp" at command prompt
/user/local/bin/ ftp
That is all, you can use ftp right now.
