I am using OS 10.1.3 or something, and won't update to Jaguar for at least another week. I was wondering what everyones favorite FTP program is for X since right now i am still using my old INterarchy and forced to start up Classic everytime I want to use it.
Thanks

i like fetch, but transmit is free
Since when?
Transmit and FTPeel are both fine FTP clients. FTPeel is still in beta, though, and thus lacks the polish of Transmit 2.5.
transmit si an awesoem applications and its extremely useful, but i dont need most of the features it has so i use fetch which has a smaller cleaner because it doesn't waste the space with features i dont' use

transmit by panic, imho.
There's absolutely no contest. Transmit gets my vote and wins by far. Trsnmit is well worth its modest price and was entirely re-written in Cocoa for OS X to boot.

thanks,
Double click a file, my Application of choice opens it. Modify what I need, hit cmd+s and it auto-uploads back. RBrowser is also written in Cocoa (Obj-C) before Panic even knew what the hell it was. (RBrowser was design back for NeXTStep/ OpenStep)
Its a bit sluggish on my system (Power Mac 533MHz x2) but gets the job done for me.

I will if I have to but I prefer using GUI stuff.

I use it at times, especially when I need to "piggyback" between computers at my works network. SSH into our external machine, FTP from that throughout the system. But generally I only use command line FTP when I'm logged in with an SSH session.
More productive with the GUI, also where 95% of my work is accomplished.
Going to add, however, that Transmit is definitely more Mac-like when compared with RBrowser and yes even the Terminal. With many apps there is a spectrum that goes:
UNIX / NeXT - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - Classic Mac
Some apps learn more towards NeXT and UNIX while others feel more Mac like; increased AppleScript Support, stricter following of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, etc.
