FQB Transfer
FQB Transfer is a macOS file-transfer client for developers, system administrators, agencies, teams, and businesses managing remote servers.
What FQB Transfer is
FQB Transfer is a macOS file-transfer client for developers, system administrators, agencies, teams, and businesses managing remote servers. It connects using FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, Amazon S3, and WebDAV. Its dual-pane interface supports uploads, downloads, renaming, moving, deleting, folder creation, and drag-and-drop transfers. Transfer queues show real-time progress, multiple transfers can run concurrently, and file and folder synchronization is available. Tabbed windows help manage several server connections at once. Users can open remote files in an editor and have saved changes uploaded automatically; the feature list also includes a built-in terminal. Sessions can be exported for backup or sharing and imported on another Mac. FQB Transfer is built specifically for macOS and supports Apple Silicon. The maker says credentials are stored securely, and users can opt to enter them when connecting rather than save them on the Mac. Its security guidance recommends SFTP or FTPS where possible, checking host keys, and using strong authentication with least-privilege access.
