| "The best just gets better! I use Captain FTP just about every day, & it's the best FTP program I've ever seen for any platform." |

"Captain FTP is a powerful and easy to use FTP client. If you have a need for a good, fast and reliable FTP client then Captain FTP can very well fulfill that need. Captain FTP is a very easy to use and reliable FTP client.
With the dual pane view it makes checking what is on your computer and on the ftp server is all up to date. As well as allowing you to easily drag an item from the computer to upload to the ftp server. Also allowing you to drag something from the ftp server to your computer to download.
The folder synchronization makes keeping your ftp server up to date with your computer. I have used this feature to keep my site up to date. If for some reason the transfer is disrupted it will try to automatically resume or reconnect and resume. So there is no reason to have to sit there and make sure it uploads okay since if something interrupts the connection Captain FTP will make sure it gets back on task and finishes the job.
Overall Captain FTP is an excellent ftp client and will definitely be able to serve your ftp client needs. For more information and to purchase Captain FTP please visit the link below. Captain FTP is priced at a reasonable $25 which makes it easy on the wallet and serves your needs.
Captain FTP receives a great score of 9/10 for its ease of use and great features. The only thing missing is a built in file information option. This would completely round out the features of Captain FTP by implementing a built in side pane for file information." |

"What is magic about CaptainFTP?
I created a website in Appple iWeb. I then tried to upload it to my server. It failed with Cyberduck (I/O read error or .htaccess error), it failed with Fetch (timed out trying to establish passive mode) but it worked with CaptainFTP. What does CaptainFTP do that the others don't? I fiddled for hours with the other two FTP clients before I gave up." |

"I have found Captain FTP to be a very intuitive application. The menus and preferences are thoughtfully prepared and seem to be easier to navigate than the competition. It will easily accomplish the simplest task with little effort and it can be configured to accommodate the most technical of situations. It's not easy to build an interface to accommodate the basic user and the advanced user.
In addition I have found the file transfers speed embarrassingly fast when compared to Finder and other FTP apps available. I frequently download NASA pics for astronomy class and I schedule the software to do this after normal school times. You would be surprised at the frequent absence of a scheduling feature in FTP applications!
I must mention the stability. It seems rock solid. It has never crashed or seized up on me during 1+ GB image transfers!
Captain FTP is quickly becoming one of my most frequently used apps on my MacBook Pro!
Kudos to Captain FTP on a fine product!" |

| "I am a professional photographer and routinely use ftp programs to modify and update my site as well as posting files and html galleries for my clients. I recently began using Captain FTP. It is an absolutely terrific program! Easy to use, intuitive, and makes great use of the Macintosh drag and drop simplicity. I had tried so many file transfer programs in the past, and quite frankly, none come even remotely close to Captain FTP. To date, I have never had a single problem with the program, it is rock solid, and their customer support is amongst the best I have ever encountered with any company. Within a few hours of writing (hadn’t received my serial and key from Macupdate), I received a personal, friendly, and totally helpful reply. It's one of those programs that are just a joy to use, well thought out, user friendly, and actually fun. I'd say it is without a doubt the best file transfer program currently out there. Thanks for such a great application! Ahoy Matie!" |

"Killer Application
I have spent the last month testing a number of ftp applications (fetch, transmit etc.) and have given the thumbs up to this cool and killer application. Prior to downloading any of the tested clients, I didn't think that there would be much difference between the various applications. Four weeks later, I can confirm that there is! Captain FTP combines the advanced functionality to keep ftp die hards happy with the intuitiveness and usuability to stop novices from panicking.
Captain FTP has a long feature list. Two of my favourites are the tabbed interface for multiple ftp sessions and the superb file handling and management. These two features make Captain FTP a joy to use especially when a website is still in its development stage. I was reminded of this when I had to update multiple websites from someone else's Mac. I spent twice the time doing it with half the fun!" |

"As a web developer, I need fast and easy FTP access to a number of different servers and accounts. I''m really pleased at how complex Captain FTP is, whilst being very easy to use. I''ve just signed up for another 12 months of upgrade protection after a some very impressive upgrades since 4.0, when I first purchased Captain FTP. Thankyou for such a helpful and speedy tool. There is absolutly no reason I will ever need to think about using another application!

| "For the past few years I've been using Fetch as my FTP client, but recently have decided to look for a new program. I read a number of excellent reviews of Captain FTP and gave it a try. I have not been disappointed. The interface is not only nicer to look at, but in my experience is also easier to use, more intuitive and more powerful. Of particular note is the Transfer Manager, which not only gives an excellent visual reference on the status of the transfer, but also allows you to set the priority and to schedule transfers. Very useful, especially for large downloads. I also really like the Safari/Firefox-like tab feature (very nice), the ability to connect to other Captain users over a WAN or LAN, and the "Show File Listing" feature, which gives me Unix-like look at the files in a particular folder, showing their current permission settings. In addition to all of this (and much more) the address book is easy to setup and use, allows for both remote local bookmarks and lets you import connections from Fetch, Transmit and NetFinder. All in all an excellent program, and excellent service to boot." |

"Let me start by saying how much I love this product. Captain FTP has been a lifesaver for me in the relm of FTP. It is the only ftp program that I have tried that I like. I started with version 4.0 and recently upgraded to version 4.2. I have tried many different FTP programs from freeware to shareware on demos & I will stick with the Captain. I think one of the strongest points about this app is the vissual clarity in the layout, other apps I have tried and used only to delete have had unstable layouts that don't allow the propper room for expanding views. The layout just appears clear and logical.
As well, the support team is very nice and quick to respond to questions about your service and account." |

"Ah, I did have the popup blocker on. Will turn it off. I actually downloaded Captain 4.2 and am in the trial period right now. I'll purchase when that runs out in 15 days. Thanks so much for letting me know. And, your service is amazing. Very impressive to have gotten this help without even asking. Other companies could learn from you.
All the best,

"A salute for the Captain!
I have tried out a fair number of FTP clients over the years and used everything from Fetch to Transmit to Cyberduck. I was always happy with Fetch back in the old days, but find the new version to be overly complicated to use. Transmit also was not my cup of tea. I liked Cyberduck a lot, especially since it was free, but ran into situations where it lacked the features to complete the task at hand (it didn't support VMS MultiNet V4.4(91), which was necessary to upload to my ISP.)
I had tried Captain FTP a few versions ago and remembered that I thought it was pretty good, so I downloaded the latest version to see if it supported the system for my ISP and sure enough it worked. Not only that, the latest version was the most straightforward FTP client I have ever tried. It supports every sort of network or local file transfer I could ever hope to use and is so easy to use that I never needed to even look for help or the manual! It is almost completely transparent to use, but supports advanced features.
I highly recommend Captain FTP to anyone from novice to advanced users. You will love it! It is reasonably priced to boot, mateys!" |

"Dear Capt. Hook and Peter Pan,
I have been using your product for almost 2 years now and it is without
question the best FTP software I have ever experienced. I run an web site
for luxury yachting owners and every single photograph on our site (of
which there are thousands) have been uploaded with the Capt. FTP.
As of today I am upgrading to Capt. FTP 3.3 and I am looking forward to
continued excellent service.
Keep up the great work!" |

I've been using Captain FTP since 1.4 and have loved it ever since. I've recently upgraded to the new version and the additional features are wonderful. The integrated Rendezvous makes file sharing a breeze between by Macs. And what's even better, is the great service the people from Captain FTP provide. Whenever I have a question or problem, it's solved in a jiffy. Great going guys!" |

| "I've been using Captain FTP 2.x for a year or so. It has never let me down. I appreciate the steady updates and the addition of new capabilities (such as sftp). The two panel arrangement with my local computer on one side and the remote server on the other is best interface. The provided ability to sort by file name or date or - is an absolute necessity especially with large directories. I just downloaded the 3.0 version and paid the $15 upgrade fee without hesitation (this product is more than worth the $25 purchase price plus the upgrade fee). The new look rocks! My only suggestion is to have a finer file size field (smaller unit) but this is minor. Keep it going, Captain FTP!" |

This latest version finally makes serious ftp possible on the Mac.

Better still foreign characters are displayed as they are and not as garbage. Avoid the hassle of checking out the competition. Also with a list full of positive testimonials to back up its glowing ability, this is arguably the best choice for me (and you) there is on OS X." |

Using FETCH FTP I had a constant 80 kb/s, I figured this couldn't be right since the lan center was on an oc3 line. After using Captain FTP I was getting 200 kb/s, then after hitting the TURBO Button I sucked up ALL the bandwith and got 500 kb/s! THAT IS FAST!" |

Better yet, Captain FTP also flawlessly connects to several other ftp servers I deal with. Before trying Captain FTP, I tried several other OS X FTP clients, and I couldn't get any of them to connect to all of these servers. Also, the user interface in Captain FTP is far more intuitive than Fetch for OS X. I am going to use what works for me, and so far the Captain is flawless for me (and I love the skull and crossbones logo!!)." |
