Reliable FTP client for macOS Mojave

Using Commander One as the FTP Client.

Go ahead if you haven't tried it, should work smoothly on your macOS 10.14.3 iMac: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/commander-one-file-manager/id1035236694

Give it a try and see if it helps improve your file uploading process. Cause I've tried a bunch of alternatives and all of them seemed to have issues.

Except only Cyberduck might be a good choice, but I initially use Commander One as the File manager, and since it has many different features that all work smoothly, I'm staying with it.

Download macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Combo Update

Security Update 2021-005 (Mojave)

Above are the two links that dialabrain refers to. Use Firefox to download as Safari is too old.

Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi are all viable alternatives to Safari as well.

I've been using Transmit for quite a while, and it worked just fine under Mojave. It would be more of a question if the developer of Transmit has an older version you can obtain that works in that OS. …

… and, they do. Every release back to 1.0.

I need recommendations for a reliable ftp client that I can use on my 21.5 inch, late 2012 iMac, running version 10.14.3. A few issues at play here: the OS is maxed out for the Adobe software that I'm using (CS 6 — don't judge), so I can't upgrade any system software. I have a web project that involves files for six sites, and the current ftp client I'm using – Transmit 4.4.13 – is taking longer than it used to and is missing or skipping data connections that make random files in a batch unable to upload to my servers.

Yes, I know that I need to be dragged into the 21st century and buy new equipment. That is in the works, but I need to upload these files from the old system first.

Recommendations are welcome.

I have used Fetch trouble free with every macOS going back to OS X Panther 10.13 - macOS Ventura 13.3.1.a

Fetch is indeed an excellent FTP client. I gave it up a few versions of macOS back though because the developer was taking forever to come out with a version that worked in (I think it was Catalina). It was months past the release of whichever OS version it was and there was still no working version, so I had to move onto something else.

Filezilla.

Not free, as a brody's suggestion of FileZilla is, but Transmit is excellent.

With FTP you have to be mindful of the ports you connect at.

You may also want to try rbrowser.com and Fugu.

Any reason you haven't updated to 10.14.6? Since you're running an older version of macOS, you might want the last security updates.

I'm using CyberDuck 7.2.5 in Mohave.
