But while Fetch and SimpleFTP have clean interfaces, they lack other file-management features such as the ability to intuitively move files between different directories (folders) on the FTP server.
SimpleFTP’s interface is similar to Fetch’s - it has a browser area for getting around on the server and two buttons for uploading and downloading files. Interarchy shares a lot of interface conventions with Web browsers, including an editable location field, which displays the current file path at the top of each window.
Like FTP Client, Interarchy lets you view files in list and column views. Interarchy has been around almost as long as Fetch, but it has embraced OS X’s navigation style. However, many people may find this language confusing (“put” what where?). Fetch’s interface is easy enough to use: clicking on the Get button in the browser window downloads the selected files, and clicking on the Put Files button uploads files to the current directory. Although Fetch was once the standard FTP program for the classic Mac OS, its inter-face has barely improved since its conversion to OS X.

We looked for programs that closely integrated themselves into Mac OS - that mimicked the Finder, supported long file names, and allowed drag-and-drop file transfers. All the clients we evaluated included these basics, but some outperformed others. In addition, an FTP client should let you set permissions for each file, so you can determine who can view it (read), make changes to it (write), run it (if it’s a program), or search it (if it’s a text file). Beyond that, even a rudimentary FTP client should have some file-management capabilities, be able to move and delete files from the server, and keep a list of bookmarks for quick access to different servers.
