Con 'Transfer queue' feature broken since v.6 (May 2017). The most important feature of any FTP client is the ability to queue your downloads.

There are 3 I recommend checking out: CrossFTP, CuteFTP, and SmartFTP. If you are a heavy FTP user, and do lots of downloading from there, I suggest you look at the paid clients. If you are downloading, for example, massive 30 GB torrents from a seedbox, you need to process them consecutively, not run multiple file transfers concurrently. Cyberduck also supports connecting to certain cloud storages. Otherwise, they would take too long and run a high risk of failing. Transfer queuing is currently broken on both Mac and PC. Queuing was originally added in v2.8 of Cyberduck, way back in September 2007. Sadly, they subsequently broke this essential feature in v6.0 when they tried to add other, less important, features - in May 2017. This bug has apparently been ignored by the developers in all of the last 24 updates.

This loss of functionality was clearly not intentional because the corresponding options, which allow you to select the number of simultaneous transfers, are still there - they just no longer do anything. #FILEZILLA VS WINSCP DOWNLOAD#Įven if you only choose one transfer, every single download placed in the queue starts immediately and without waiting for the previous ones to complete. It's less of a 'queue' and more of a free-for-all.
