Cyberduck

Cyberduck is a desktop application that lets you browse and transfer files between your computer and remote servers or cloud storage. It acts as a unified file browser for a wide range of protocols, including FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and SMB, and connects directly to cloud services like Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze B2, and OneDrive. You can upload, download, edit, and manage files across all these services from a single, familiar interface.

The tool works by establishing connections using your login credentials for each service. It stands out with its deep integration into the macOS and Windows operating systems, storing passwords in the system keychain and supporting features like Quick Look previews and drag-and-drop. Specific features include the ability to edit files directly on the server with your preferred text editor, synchronize folders, create shareable URLs, and manage bookmarks for your frequent connections.

Cyberduck is ideal for developers, system administrators, and anyone who regularly works with files across different servers and cloud platforms. Use cases include uploading website files to a web host via FTP, managing buckets on Amazon S3, accessing business documents on a company OneDrive, or quickly moving files between a local machine and a remote server.
