FTPS connections are supported directly in OS X’s built-in FTP functionality, while SFTP through SSH is not accessible through the same “Connect to Server” menu. Something to keep in mind is that FTPS and SFTP are two different protocols FTPS is FTP with a secure SSL layer, while SFTP uses SSH (yes, the same protocol that SSH servers are enabled by with Remote Login in OS X).

The minor difference is pointed out in the screenshot below: This is dependent on the remote server having SSL support and acceping FTPS connections, which most servers do. If you want to connect to secured FTPS server, all you need to do is prefix the domain with ftps:// rather than ftp://. If you want to use a secured connection instead you just need to make a tiny modification, which we’ll discuss next. Here is what starting a standard FTP connection will look like:

Enter the FTP username and password, or connect as “Guest” if the server allows guest connections and click on “Connect” again.

Click on “Connect” and wait to connect to the remote server.

Optional: If you want to add a bookmark to ‘Favorite Servers’ for repeated connections, click on the + icon next to the “Server Address” field.

Enter the address of the ftp server in the following format:.

From your Mac desktop or Finder, hit Command+K to pull up the “Connect to Server” window (alternatively, you can access this from the “Go” menu).

Regardless, here’s how to start an FTP connection from Mac OS X to a remote server: Phooey on that.If you want to test this by connecting to a real server, use and login as a Guest. I used and paid for Transmit, which I liked, until a few months after I paid for it when an Apple OS upgrade broke it, an update for it came out that fixed the compatiblity issues, but I would be required to pay for it again in order to continue to use it in the updated OS. I can't say the same for other ftp clients I've tried, and I've tried at least half-a-dozen of them over the years. It is fast, reliable, easy to use, Leopard compatible, free, and I have never had the slightest problem with it.

Don't know how that happened, but I decided it either made an error or else it wasn't as intuitive as I thought and I caused the error by doing something wrong. I tried Cyberduck, it seemed great, but I wanted to use it for WebDAV and somehow or other I managed to mess up my stuff on the server. For UNIX gurus there is Terminal, you can do everything in there with the command line interface. Built-in there is the Finder's ability to mount an ftp share, but as noted you can only download not upload. There are several free and paid ftp utilities.
