OS X 10.2 is supposed to include FTP client support in the Finder. So you'd presumably use "Connect to Server..." and the server would show up on the desktop.
Exactly. In Jaguar, you do Connect To Server, and then just type in <a href="ftp://www.myftpserver.com."; target="_blank">ftp://www.myftpserver.com.</a>; It asks for your name and password and bam it's on your desktop. Same goes for SMB and NFS, not to mention AFP of course. And it's fast, too... Jaguar seems to have that effect on things. I found Fetch X in Jaguar to be very quick.
Also, the Finder is AppleScript-able and the whole System is.... so yeah, this would kick-it high adrenalin! <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

I got sick of the flakey GUI ftp clients so I turned to the Terminal and ncftp. I'm using 3.1.3 of ncftp and its awesome! I haven't looked back since I switched, it's always stables, fast, and I never have any connection problems.

I'd say it's broken. It brings down my system faster than an MS app. Sometimes it works great, but for some reason, every-once-in-a-while, it'll bring the system to a grinding halt. It's so bad, the only way to get out of it is to reboot. This happens if you disconnect from a network and forget to unmount the volume. It's ugly. But when it works, it's great. (BTW, this is on 6c115, aka GM)

As far as GUI FTP programs, I have no idea what's good.
Hmm... all this time I thought it was Transmit. Maybe it is OSX.
Looking forward to FTP broswing and access in the Jaguar Finder.
Transmit is driving me nuts: the last few bytes take longer to send than the preceeding kilobytes! So annoying!!
<strong>I heard that OSX.2 will feature an ftp client... anybody have the scoop on that? </strong><hr></blockquote>

Yep - and I am really looking forward to that! It lists this in the additional features Jaguar page on Apple's site.
It's all these little things you never really hear about that are gonna make Jaguar shine!
jagwire supports ftp over the finder?
jupiii!
peve: mac os x?
os x: yes peve?
peve: when was the last time i said "i love you"?
os x: hmm, i don't know anymore.
peve: i love you!

You could use <a href="ftp://username:"; target="_blank">ftp://username:</a>; [email protected]: portnumber/ and forego the user/pass prompt.
I wonder if they wil include AFS support too.

<strong>What FTP apps are you guys using ?
I have tried Transmait-X and Fetch-X both are slower than in OS9.
Is this an OSX problem ?
I have found all internet interactions as well as LAN traffic to be greatly improved after the last networking update.
