CNET Editors' review
Built around a gorgeous, newly overhauled interface, this free, GPL-licensed FTP browser is a lean, mean file-managing machine. CyberDuck can communicate with standard FTP volumes as well as the more secure SFTP. The application easily manages bookmarks with an OS X-styled drawer. We like the quick-connect drop-down, which allows you to pop into recently accessed or bookmarked servers in a snap. We generally found both up and downstream file transfers to be speedy. While Cyberduck can be seen as limited in terms of functionality due to its entry-level nature, the program handles basic tasks with ease. We recommend CyberDuck to anyone looking for a solid FTP browser.Publisher's Description
From Cyberduck:
Cyberduck is an open source SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer) and FTP browser licenced under the GPL. It has been built from the ground up with usability in mind, having the same consistent graphical user interface for both SFTP and FTP browsing. Multiple connections are supported. Drag and drop is supported consequently for transferring files between server and client. A transfer queue keeps track of the pending file transfers and supports resuming of both downloads and uploads. A simple bookmark manager ensures manageability. Core system technologies such as the Keychain and Rendezvous are supported. Cyberduck integrates seamlessly with external editors such as SubEthaEdit and BBEdit. Cyberduck has been translated into numerous languages including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and Finnish.

"You simply can't beat it"
Version: Cyberduck 4.2.1
Pros
Connects to all kinds of servers, including Rackspace Cloud and Amazon S3. Fast, intuitive, and free. I love the "edit" function, which lets me open and edit remote files locally, and Cyberduck will automatically re-upload the edited file. Everyone I work with now simply refers to it as "The Duck"...
Cons
Cons? It's awesome and free.

"Probably great, but they abandoned Mac PPC platform"
Version: Cyberduck 4.0.1
Pros
The new features sound good, but if you are one of the gazillions of people who still use a PPC Mac, you will not get to experience them. The previous version was functional for ftp and useless for webdav.
Cons
Can't evaluate it since they abandoned my platform.
Summary
You can't argue with Free, but if you want a really good ftp client for Mac, look at Yummy FTP. If you want a really good webdav client for Mac, look at Webdrive. Both are worth the money....
-
"OK, but not great"
Version: Cyberduck 3.8.1
Pros
Adequate client with poor interface
Cons
What good is a WebDAV connection when all you can do is upload/download files? This protocol is supposed to allow you to mount remote volumes and operate on then as if local, but the Duck treats them just like ftp sites.
Summary
I am usually a strong proponent of open source, but here is a case where spending 30 bucks on Yummy is well worth it.
