I'm surprised there's still a market for innovation in FTP clients. Most everyone I know does automated deployments now with Heroku, AppEngine, git push, etc..

[pupppet]

For every git project there are probably a few thousand regular folk happily moving files to their WP site via FTP.

I'm surprised FTP hasn't been built in to Finder/FileExplorer yet.

[wlesieutre]

It is, but it's (at least historically) not well implemented. http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-ftp-into-a...

Used to be that the whole Finder would hang while waiting for a response from the server. I haven't tried recently to say whether that's still true.

FTP is useful for more than just deployment, just regular file transfers are much more easier and still in use by many.

[bsimpson]

I presumed so, I just can't remember the last time I saw anyone using FTP.

[LeoPanthera]

Maybe not FTP, but I use SFTP all the time.

[devonbleak]

That's great for managing code, not so great for ad hoc management of content/data/files.

[wiffleballmike]

There are many workplaces (newspaper design desk) where FTP is still the goto for sending files too big for email. Any tools to makes the experience as simple as possible are more than welcome.

It does sftp too, which is a very nice filetransfer lingua franca kind of. Samba etc. are a pain to deal with so I tend to just use sftp for everything, even within the office.

Cyberduck also does S3 and the cloudy stuff.

There's a lot of legacy in the world.
