Classic FTP Plus for Mac

User Reviews

• Installed to replace CuteFTP which died on my Mac

  fryphotoApril 29, 2015

  Pros

  Does the job in a good way

  Cons

  After my FTP program (CuteFTP) died on upgrading my Mac, I opted for Classic FTP which looks and runs in a similar fashion. Classic FTP needs quite a bit of computer knowledge to find files & folders I found but as I have only used it twice I can't claim expert knowledge

  Summary

  Good, go for it, learn it, use it!

• Terrible Terrible Waste of Money

  art4hire1956March 1, 2011

  Pros

  Can't think of a good thing about it other than it downloaded easily! Ugh!

  Cons

  First attempt to use it was fine. Couple weeks later I tried again and nothing. Bought the program and all it does is bounce in the dock. Never launches. Support tried to help to no avail. I deleted it using AppCleaner.

  Summary

  Stay away from this program. There are better ones available - even cheap or nearly free ones like Courier (mozilla app). In fact I heartily recommend Courier!

• This Product is NO LONGER FREE LICENCE

  bargainhunt2010December 1, 2010

  Pros

  all basic functions of FTP available.

  Cons

  Without any previous warning at installation, after 14 days product stopped working - asks to purchase license but advertised as FREE on both download.com and also on apple's website. I may have decided to pay if they would have not tried to hide!

  Summary

  Basic FTP client - NOT FREE AS ADVERTISED.

• Works, but waay too slow

  jimermanApril 22, 2010

  Pros

  It works - it is free, it connects to FTP servers. Haven't done any large file transfers to see how it performs on that end.

  Cons

  Very slow, no ability to cancel operations, no status bar - those are my complaints.

  Summary

  Keep looking

• Not that easy to get to know at first

  bbnewbieNovember 4, 2009

  Pros

  Once I got it to work,it was fine, although not as intuitive as mac programs usually are.I had to seek help from more knowledgeable persons as the help supplied wasn't helpful at all.

  Cons

  No help under the help menu. Defaulted to Mac Classic which isn't on my computer! Being a total novice I didn't know what it was supposed to do or how it was supposed to work, so I had big problems getting started.

  Summary

  I would like this product to come with either an online manual, or better still, a pdf manual that can be printed out. The help supplied assumed prior knowledge of the program or at least prior knowledge of FTP clients.As a complete novice, it was like stumbling around in the dark until I found someone who knew what to do to get started. After that it was a doddle. So better help would be my only wish - perhaps one of the members of the Classic Community could put something together and they could assume that the person they are writing for knows nothing about FTP clients.

• works super slow

  ionprojektAugust 27, 2009

  Pros

  Easy to use.

  Cons

  Slow to respond to every click.

  Summary

  I'd use it if I had a small website with a couple of pages, but it is a drag to use for anything larger than that.

• very unstable

  BigPalominoMay 18, 2009

  Pros

  It works one file at a time

  Cons

  pretty dang slow, the most unstable program on my mac.

  Summary

  if you upload 1 or 2 files.. this is perfect, if you upload lots and want it to work in the background... ouch.

• An excellent FTP ckient. Easy to use and set up.

  Karl-Erik HalleniusJanuary 2, 2009

  Pros

  I can't see what more you can demand of an FTP client, but now I am not a very experienced user when It comes to writing HTML-code and uploading the files. In spite of that, even I succeeded to get it working at the first attempt.

  Cons

  A great piece of work and I can't find any reason to complain about the performance of Classic FTP.
