Ftp stands for file transfer protocol, a way of connecting the folders and files on the PC and an online server. For example, you build a WordPress website and then you can upload and organize the files with an ftp client.

Ftp and other

Besides ftp, Cyberduck also supports the protocols sftp, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. You choose a new connection at the top and then select the desired storage service. If it concerns your own server, you must enter the port and the server address. This has already been entered for the known standard services.

After the connection is established, all folders and files will appear in Cyberduck’s interface and there you browse the data like the folders of your own system.

The server’s folder structure appears in Cyberduck.

Simple

In fact, Cyberduck works just as easily as Windows Explorer or macOS Finder. You drag the files from the local folders directly into the appropriate folders on the server. The other way around is of course also possible. You can resume interrupted downloads and uploads at any time. In addition, Cyberduck includes a preview function so you can preview all images and documents on the server before downloading them.

Cryptomator

Cyberduck encrypts the files individually during transfer via Cryptomator, a German encryption solution, which is not always possible with ftp. To make it easy for yourself, you can bookmark every connection, so that next time you will end up in the correct server folder with one mouse click.

Enter your login information and save it to a bookmark.

Conclusion

This open source program supports many cloud services in addition to ftp and is especially user-friendly due to the handy browser structure. Keeping the credentials in bookmarks makes it very easy. It is also interesting that you can indicate folders that this program will automatically synchronize.
