Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
With a name like Cyberduck you might be wondering what type of app this is. Most people will not guess that Cyberduck is an open-source FTP browser designed for file transfers. At $23.99, Cyberduck has to provide a lot of capabilities to compete with free FTP systems.
As an FTP download and upload client, Cyberduck works well. The interface is clean and easy to work with. You can browse through folders and preview files in a Quick Look window, and you can also launch editors from within the Cyberduck tool to make changes to files. Unlike most FTP tools, Cyberduck has integration with several cloud providers. There are many plug-ins for those who want to work with the tool in a non-English language.
The only problem we have with Cyberduck is its price. While it is a solid and capable file transfer system, working with FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV, it is competing with a lot of free apps that can do the same job. The interface is clean and easy to work with, though, so Cyberduck will appeal to some users.

"Worked great! Yay!"
Version: Cyberduck 4.3.1
Pros
Fairly intuitive interface. Drag and drop. Did the job. And it was FREE!
Cons
Didn't seem to like to upload too many files at once. Sometimes didn't seem to want to Overwrite.
Summary
First, I downloaded FileZilla but it couldn't make a connection to my main file locker. So I got CyberDuck and it had no problem with the same address. Sometimes it would overwrite a file like I wanted it to, but sometimes it gave me an error and I had to delete the old version first. Other times, if I tried to upload too many files at once, I'd get an error, but that could be because of my own wireless network at home. When I use Comcast's own web-based uploading, I have to do one file at a time and then choose each one individually and make it "public." An enormous pain. CyberDuck uploaded them as public, saving me alot of time, and I could drag and drop. Love it!
