Transmit, Cyberduck, and Filezilla are probably your best bets out of the 7. In addition to FTP, allows exchanging data with SFTP or WebDAV servers or your. Models are not allowed on the Mac store, which is why it costs $23.99 there.

In this article I will be detailing how you can use the Terminal (Mac) as an FTP or SFTP client, to do a variety of tasks on remote servers. For the purpose of illustration, I’m using a test server with Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP installed on it, with SSH access enabled. I will be telling you how you can accomplish basic FTP/SFTP tasks such as uploading/downloading files, renaming, moving, deleting etc. Using the macOS’ Terminal, instead of a third party. Note: To use SFTP, you will need to have SSH access enabled on your server. If you don’t have SSH access, you can contact your hosting provider, or you can use FTP. But keep in mind that FTP is generally not considered secure, so be careful.

Logging into the Server Logging into the remote server is pretty straightforward. You will need a FTP/SFTP username and password to log into the server. FTP might allow for anonymous log-ins, but it’s better to authenticate using a username and password.

Using FTP The command to log-in into a remote server using FTP, is: ftp server_ip. You will then be prompted for your username, type it in, and hit Enter. Next, the Terminal will ask you for your password, key it in, hit Enter, and you will be logged in. Using SFTP The command to log-in to a remote server using SFTP, is: sftp _ip You will then be prompted for the password.

Key it in, and hit Enter to log in. Uploading and Downloading Files One of the basic functions of an FTP/SFTP client is the ability to upload files from the local host to the remote server, and to download files off of the remote server. Using FTP or SFTP • Upload Files The command to upload files to a remote server, is: put path_to_local_file remote_file For example, if I wanted to upload a file called index.txt, the command will become.

Put /Users/akshaygangwar/index.txt index.txt This command will put the file called “index.html” from my home directory, into the working directory in the remote server. Note: To find out your working directory, you can use the command “pwd” • Download Files The command to download files off of a remote server, is: get path_to_remote_file local_file For example, if I wanted to download a file called newfile.txt, the command will become: get newfile.txt newfile.txt This command will download the file called “newfile.txt” from the working directory on the remote server into the working directory on my Mac. Creating a New Folder Creating folders (directories) on a remote server is another important task that is accomplished by FTP clients. Using FTP or SFTP Creating a new folder using the Terminal is easy. It’s the same command in both FTP and SFTP protocols: mkdir directory_name For example, if I wanted to create a folder by the name of “Beebom”, the command will become: mkdir Beebom This will create a folder named “Beebom”, in the working directory on the remote server. Renaming Files on the Server Renaming files on the remote server can be accomplished easily by using the Terminal as a client.

Using FTP or SFTP The command to rename files on a remote server using the Terminal as an FTP/SFTP client can be done with the following command: rename old_name new_name For example, if I wanted to change the name of “newfile.txt” to “mainlog.txt”, the command will become: rename newfile.txt mainlog.txt This will rename the file “newfile.txt” to “mainlog.txt” 4. Deleting Files The Terminal can also let you delete files off the remote server. The commands in this case are different for both FTP and SFTP, and I am stating both of them separately. Using FTP The command to delete files off a remote server using FTP, is: delete file_name For example, if I wanted to delete the file called “beebomold.txt”, the command will become: delete beebomold.txt This will delete the file “beebomold.txt” off of the remote server. Using SFTP The command to delete files off a remote server using SFTP, is: rm file_name For example, if I wanted to delete the file called “beebomold.txt” using SFTP, the command will be: rm beebomold.txt This will delete the file “beebomold.txt” from the remote server.

Moving Files within the Remote Server Using the Terminal as an FTP client can also allow you to move files within the remote server itself, exactly the way you would do it in a third party FTP client. Using FTP or SFTP The command to move files within the server in both FTP and SFTP is: rename file_name path_to_new_file/file_name For example, if I wanted to move a file called “testresults.txt” from the “test” directory to the “results” directory, the command will become: rename testresults.txt results/testresults.txt This will move the file “testresults.txt” to the sub-folder “results”. Check “Last Modified” Date Checking the “Last Modified” date for a file or a folder is useful if you need to know what files and folders were updated when. You can achieve this on the Terminal as well. Using FTP or SFTP The command to check the last modified date for a file is: ls -l file_name This command displays some information in a tabular form.
