Jaguar FTP
I have tried to connect to a few FTP servers through the "Connect To" option in Finder. writing frp://user [email protected] to mount the ftp server on the desktop.
The problem is that whenever I try to upload anything (click and drag from Finder), I get an error message telling me "Item xyz cannot be moved because the folder "htdocs" can not be modified".
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong ?

If fact, it's this bug (among a few others) that fired up so many arguments that 6C115 "couldn't" be the GM.
A fix is already in the works for 10.2.1.
so, what exactly does it better than the standard-cli ftp?
Life without an FTP app would be rather lovely.

I'm not saying it is better than any other cli-ftp program but it is super easy to use and bookmark say where you are hosting your site. I find it better than any GUI operated FTP mainly because I find it to be faster.
<strong>Yes, this is a *very* well known bug.

OK. So there is a fix in the build seeded to developers about a week ago ?
I would love to be able to FTP through Finder. RBrowser does it in a "finder way", but I would still prefer my FTP server working like an iDisk - mounted on the desktop like any networked harddrive.
Have anyone tried the 10.2.1 seed from apple that can confirm that FTP works ?

You asked for it... CONFIRMED!!
Okay? Now does someone have to shove a pie in my face or dump a bucket of slime over my head?
Don't worry, Finder FTP *will* work properly in the near future. I greatly look forward to the day this update is officially released.

Everything!
It has bookmarks/shortcuts, you can download while you browse, because it comes with a daemon that handles downloads in the background. You can time your downloads, queue your downloads etc.
My only problem with ncftp is its lack of ftps support, but what clients do have ftps.... (besides curl and that unusable java client)
