FTP that works with Catalina?!

FileZilla is definitely compatible with Catalina. I used it just a few hours ago for work.

I'm also looking for a replacement FTP app, since YummyFTP doesn't work with Catalina and FileZilla is a bit clunky looking. But it works just fine.

Others I've tested so far which work well with Catalina are Forklift, Transmit, and CyberDuck (though CyberDuck isn't dual pane).

Good point. Maybe I'll give it a try also. So far in my search Transmit works. FileZilla does as well, but it clunky. Forklift has some issues with transferring bulk files (some end up on my remote server with 0 bytes) but their support is very nice and they are looking at it, CyberDuck is a no go for me because it's not dual pane. So at the moment it's Transmit or FileZilla, but I really like Forklift and the support team there, so would prefer to use Forklift if the technical issue can be fixed. I'll give Fetch a try too. Thanks.

Transmit is a good dual panel option. Cabel is a good guy that keeps up with OS changes. You can check them out here https://panic.com/transmit/

I just looked and they even have a trial version so you can check it out. Supports dragging between panes or from the finder in.

I assume that you are double clicking on the FileZilla install icon, yes? Don't do that. Instead right mouse click on it. You should get the following

Select Open. Then the next dialog box you see will be similar to the one you report, but it will also have the Open button added. Choose Open and voila.

@peter_watt - What makes you think the developer site is unsafe? I think it's more a case of including annoying ads/payment requests in the free version than a malicious code issue.

Yes I tried CyberDuck free version and it works very nicely, by dragging files between it and a Finder pane. It just has the donation reminder.

As I said earlier I would pay a sensible donation as I do occasionally with apps and sites, but it is not worth the minimum $10 donation to me, a twice a year user.

I think it does do FTP. That was more a comment on the YouTube video showing how to install it. But generally, I don’t understand this obsession with FTP. Yeah, I understand it was popular and many people still need it. But still, there are dozens of FTP apps. Most of them are free. What’s the obsession with picking one?

And why this resurgence in Catalina? Apple removed FTP in Mojave. Why not review any of the dozens of identical FTP threads from back then? Here is one I posted in the Developer forums back then - 79 replies! That is the developer forum, so I assumed people would be able to build from source. But if you don’t want to do that, here is a link to ncftp. I do consider command-line tools to be acceptable because the ftp that Apple removed last year was command line.

PS: I was wrong, Apple removed telnet and FTP two years ago.

I used YummyFTP for years and loved it and was surprised that it didn't work. And the Yummy site has disappeared and email to the developer is bouncing, so I guess it's gone.

As already said, ftp is mightily insecure.

But if you need to use it (along with sftp, and other more secure protocols), CyberDuck is my program of choice.

The developer of Yummy FTP has died.

I just tested the latest Filezilla and yes that works for me too.

But, he is committing to trying to keep it compatible with new OS releases, as well as bug fixes. No new features, but as old a protocol as FTP is, how many new features are likely to be necessary?

At £23 for the app you may well not be joined by many others

Hmmm.. I have a free version of Cyberduck that I'm using?
