Flow for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Five Details:

On the Mac, you've become accustomed to software that's not just powerful, but elegant too. Armed with the belief that file-transfer should be no exception, we made Flow. Flow brings the best of the Mac to your server's files and folders. Put simply, Flow makes working remotely every bit as intuitive and natural as working locally with the Finder.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed: Issue where droplets could potentially fail to authenticate properly.
  • Fixed: Issue where the remote view selection could fail to be preserved when new items are added to the view.
  • Fixed: Issue where the generic shared Mac icon failed to render on Lion.

    "Very comfortable FTP program for Mac."

    April 14, 2010  |   By michaelwe

    Version: Flow 1.2.7

    Pros

    -Ease of use
    -Beautiful, interface, which seamlessly fits to your Mac's look and feel

    Cons

    - A tiny bit unstable - froze a couple of time. Had to close and reopen program. Otherwise could not access the files anymore.
    - Price considering there are other strong, free alternatives

    Summary

    The program is - as mentioned - very easy to use - and fits perfectly to the Mac. It would be great if there is the option to copy the paths on the server. Sometime I would like to check, whether the uploaded file works or not, and could not find how to copy and paste the path to the browser instead of typing the,.

    "Looks nice but terribly buggy, unuseable"

    March 16, 2010  |   By mochamouse

    Version: Flow 1.2.6

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    The program looks nice, but I have never had so much trouble with a program as I have had with Flow. Crashes all the time, freezes up. Some of the function simply don't even work, like 'move' a file to another directory. Bookmarks are a mess. They randomly disappear. They can't be re-ordered. It's a disaster. I bought the program and it is simply unusable. Have emailed the authors numerous times and have not heard a peep. One of the worst programs I have ever tried and the worst customer support as well. It is not even in an advanced beta state. Awful.

    "Flow's a joy to use"

    January 3, 2009  |   By iphonelover1020

    Version: Flow 1.1.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I've been using Flow for about 7 months now -- I think pretty much since it was released. Although it was pretty buggy at first, Flow is now an absolute joy to use. It's simple, it's intuitive, it's fast, it's stable, and it looks fantastic.

    This app is a winner.

    "Looks pretty, but that's about it."

    August 4, 2008  |   By bdkennedy1

    Version: Flow 1.0.3

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I was really impressed with the interface. Very pretty.

    However, I couldn't accomplish anything else with this program except logging into my FTP site. File transfers fail and I wasn't able to upload a single file to my site.

    I dragged my files into the window, Flow populated the window with my file names and then most of the files just disappeared from the window. The files that remained in the window just sat there and did nothing.

    As usual, don't pay for software that doesn't work. Use the trial first. I'm glad I did.

    "Slick UI. Poor file transfer."

    April 7, 2008  |   By Sooth Sayer

    Version: Flow 1.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    A slick UI without a doubt, but most (if not all?) of that is provided by the OS itself, and as far as interfaces go not having a dual pane local/remote view makes it very hard to use, not to mention lots buggy of behavior in other areas.

    The biggest problem though is that the file transfer bit ... you know, the part which actually makes the app of any use ... it's flaky as hell. "Solid Connections" ? Nope.
