    I like Cyberduck as you can use it with Textwrangler nicely.

    Cyberduck for me, too: free, looks nice, works well, and you get a cute yellow duck in your dock.

    Got YummyFTP for free through MacAppADay :D but I don't use FTP much anyway, so... Cyberduck?

    Surely you dont really need a specific ftp app. If it's mac to mac you could just use iChat. Or come to think of it, any reason why you couldn't use Skype or Messenger.

    Erm...

    Well, I must admit, I haven't actually tried skyping into my ftp server!
    "Hello FTP Server, how are you today?"
    "bzzz. bzzz."
    "OK, Great, have a fantastic day dude!"
    "bzzz. bzzz."

    I use Fetch, not free but free to Try. Have yet to have it boot me out on the trial version. Whilst I have paid/donated for many an App. I just don't use this one enough (yet) to fork out.

    Mac OS X it's self does FTP from the desktop too as far as I recall.

    Cheers,
    Peter

    Yeah, I have to agree with Zabbo - Transmit is great. US$29.95. You can use it to keep two machines in sync with each other too, which is pretty cool.

    Depends on how much FTPing you do I suppose, the desktop ftp in OSX in not good. FTP from the Terminal ain't too intuitive. Used to use Fetch but much prefer Transmit.
