ForkLift for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Dandre:

ForkLift is a power tool for the Mac, the entire file management workflow combined in a single app. Developed by Binarynights, ForkLift is designed to be the fastest and most powerful FTP/SFTP/WebDAV/Amazon S3 client, it connects to Bluetooth devices, and handles files across these protocols. Its dual pane view maximizes productivity, a Cocoa based interface with smart preview and spring-loaded folders lets you browse your local and remote folders and use Favorites just like in Finder. Use it to edit files or preview images stored in a remote folder, even within archives.

ForkLift 1.1 integrates a full featured batch rename tool, an application deleter and a small code called droplet, which enables you to create automated upload shortcuts for your most used remote folders, and place them anywhere in your file system.

What's new in this version: We have fixed a number of the bugs reported so far, but not all. Nevertheless, please report any bugs you find in this release. Also, we'd like to ask you to continue using the bug report form on our Support page for reporting specific bugs and sending in crash reports, etc.

    Version: ForkLift 2.0.7

    Pros

    Fast transfers, allows deleting of AppleTV ver.1 files on ATV. Logical layout so easy to use.

    Cons

    None for me.

    Summary

    I upgraded from FileZilla and couldn't believe the speed difference going from my iMac to my AppleTV. Really easy to delete files on the ATV.

    Once you're accustomed to the dual-pane approach it's very intuitive and works flawlessly, even this beta version. Fantastic for using it with iPhones/touches.

    "Great Support!"

    Version: ForkLift 1.6b3

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    My task for the day(s) was to transfer about 6 GB of websites from one host to a new host. I dreaded the thought since my cable is slow uploading. I've actually owned ForkLift for a while, but had not used it until this task remembering it could be logged into two ftp sites at the same time within the split window. It is unfortunate that neither host supports the FXP protocol...

    I did have some problems and was unable to tell if it was one of the hosts or my cable, which throttles uploads. Somewhere along the line FL did start crashing pretty far into a large transfer and I was having a dickens of a time managing which folders got updated and which didn't (the Sync Browsing really helped). I sent in a bug report and included the crash log file.

    I was really surprised when someone wanted to iChat with me - someone I didn't know. Within a few lines I found it was Mudi from BinaryNights! Mudi provided a lot of suggestions and got me going - I was using a G4 and they had not fully tested the new version with one. The next day, Mudi contacted me again and said they found the bug after they setup a G4 and tested it themselves.

    I'm an old Fetch guy, but I've switched to ForkLift as my primary ftp application, not only the unique features (today and for the future), but for the support.

    Thanks!

    Jim

    "Just love this app"

    October 31, 2008  |   By theJohnY

    Version: ForkLift 1.6b2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This new beta is fantastic. The UI changed radically, is more streamlined, with a new tab implementation and added keyboard controls I've been hoping for. It just puts all my workflow together into a nice package.

    The only thing that I'm missing from it is folder synchronization, though the developers have been promising that for a while. It would be great if I didn't have to start Transmit for synching anymore.

    It might not be the cheapest software, but it's a sturdy peace of programming well worth its price.
    Ah yes, and it beats every other FTP client I've tried in terms of speed.

    "And this update is no different."

    April 26, 2008  |   By chieftedus

    Version: ForkLift 1.5.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Although this works great on my MacBook Pro I am still having problems with it
    on my iMac G5. Specifically getting it to log into my iDisk. I have had to revert
    back to 1.2 to use this on my iMac.

    It keeps giving me a challenge and response error even though I am 100 percent
    positive I am using the correct password. Yes this is the problem, version
    1.5 works fine on the MBP, never connects to iDisk on the iMac.

    "great software honest developer"

    Version: ForkLift 1.5

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I just installed Fork lift 1.5 and tried my MacPromo Serial number which I purchased in December and voila it works.

    It's great to see developer who do not try to rip their customers of and releases version on MacPromo whci need further money to pay for the next update which is imminent.

    The application itself I great 2 though haven't tried the FTP feature yet.
