On Catalina??

Yes. On Catalina

Yes, CyberDuck works on Catalina.

But not as a 32-bit app.

While a 64-bit app, or an app built as a 32- and 64-bit “universal binary” app will work on earlier macOS versions and as far back as it’s been built for, a 32-bit app will not work on Catalina.

This is pedantic yes, but there’s been a whole lot of confusion among the folks either considering or having performed upgrades to Catalina. 32-bit apps do not work on Catalina.

I was ignoring the 32 bit thing. If folk don't know after all those warnings that 32 bit is gone, then no amount of telling will work. Cyberduck on Catalina is Cyberduck on Catalina

I got free SimpleClient from the App Store and it works. I maintain a simple private website with one index page.

Problem is you need to copy items for upload into somewhere like Desktop as the free version Local panel only shows first 60 items in any first level folder. That suits me but if you have a complex html library to maintain then you can pay for it (£10.99 in UK)

Yes, Transmit is one that I'm testing. It doesn't auto-refresh the remote panel well after transfer though. You have to use Command+R for that manually. Panic support even told me that via their Twitter support.

But yes, it does work.

The problem with Cyberduck not being dual pane for me is that I deal with a few dozen servers. Each server has their own local and remote directories. Doing that with drag from Finder windows would be an enormous nuisance. That's why dual pane is needed for my work anyway.

Transmit has bugs which I have reported to Panic. In particular, at least with my servers, if I try to transfer a file of a few MB then at the end the remote server ends up with 0 bytes in the file, after repeated tests.. So Transmit is off the table for me now. Could it be an issue with my FTP server being sort of old? Maybe. But there are other FTP clients which don't experience the same problem.

Forklift also seems nice. But I ran into some issues with that as well, which the developer is looking at.

But the fastest and most reliable so far is FileZilla, even though it looks sort of clunky on the Mac, and you can't customize some things like the toolbar, or the sound it makes when transfer is complete. But FileZilla is the fastest by far, and 100% reliable so far, and it is dual pane, and you can have tabs for different connections that are open at once, and you can see the transfers taking place in the transfer queue nicely. And they also have a very responsive support community where you can get answers about settings questions very quickly. I might ask a question about FZ there and get a response in an hour. If I ask Panic Support a support question in their recommended Twitter support it could be days before I get response.

So for me, for now at least, I'm using FileZilla.

Cyberduck works just fine

Fetch 5.8b14 in limited testing works well on Mac OS 10.15.1 (19B88) Catalina and supports SFTP. The developer plans to add AppleScript support as well.

I am the only one that uses CyberDuck? It works perfectly.

What? CyberDuck is a free application.

cyber duck works with Catalina.............

Cyberduck works great in both 32 and 64 bit.

I use Transmit. It has an excellent GUI and works flawlessly in Catalina.

I just opened a Finder pane and dragged content to and from the Cyberduck pane.

I only moved a two page html file and in took a few seconds.

Yes, FETCH 5.8b12 finally works well so far.

Filezilla Client 3.45 works fine for me on Catalina. I think this is the last update for MACOS. See: https://filezilla-project.org
