That's just the tip of the iceberg, though. If you need to move some files around, Yummy is your solution. This easy to use FTP/S, SFTP, and WebDAV/S file transfer app was built exclusively for Mac to make transfers happen with blazing speed and impeccable reliability. I’ve found it to be reliable, much more so than Transmit which is fickle in my experience, kind of boring even, which is what you want an FTP app to be.Whether you need to transfer a few files or a few thousand, schedule automatic backups, or perform website maintenance, Yummy FTP Pro will handle it with ease. On topic a bit, I’ve come to rely on the ridiculously named Yummy FTP Pro having owned both Fetch (which I must check out again) and Transmit. He’s even got his own domain mapped to it. My son has a CC account and Adobe includes a website where you can create a portfolio of your work as part of the subscription. Sure it’s just my JPEGs but a lot has to go wrong before it comes to that. I’ve got about 250,000 photos up there, it’s my fallback in the event of multiple backup failures, at least I’d have them. The pro version is 49 bucks a year, and is unlimited and can automatically upload the images on any drive or folder attached to your computer. It doesn’t process the image in any way (though has a built in web editor) unlike other ‘free’ providers, so what you upload is what is embedded. It only takes up image files, not raw data, but you’d only be embedding JPEGs anyway so not an issue. It automatically creates multiple sizes of your image file for embedding as appropriate when you want to. Full disclosure: the stuffed Fetch dog is an anachronism-it came many years after I wrote the book. File transfer apps may no longer be as essential as they were 10 or 20 years ago, but it’s still good to see Jim teaching an old dog new 64-bit tricks. It won’t be the long-anticipated Fetch 6, but just Fetch 5.8, and it’s only in beta testing now. Instead, he is now porting Fetch’s ancient Carbon code to Cocoa to create an update that will be able to run in macOS 10.15 Catalina. Along with file transfer apps becoming less necessary overall, he made the classic mistake of thinking it would be a good idea to rewrite Fetch’s code from scratch, a task that he proved incapable of completing. In the post, Jim talks bluntly about why Fetch has faded from view over the past decade. (Peter Lewis’s Anarchie, later called Interarchy, which became Fetch’s primary competition in later years, didn’t ship until 1994.) It was nice to be reminded of other early FTP apps too, like the FTP client that Amanda Walker built into the integrated Internet app TCP/Connect and HyperFTP from Doug Hornig at Cornell. In fact, the book announcement-“ Administrivia” (13 September 1993)-was the first mention of Fetch in TidBITS as well. I don’t remember my earliest history with Fetch, but when I wrote Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh in 1993, it was my favorite FTP client and I was able to bundle it with the book. Jim Matthews, author of Fetch, has penned a blog post that looks back at the file transfer app’s 30-year history, starting with the release of 1.0 on 1 September 1989. #1649: More LastPass breach details and 1Password switch, macOS screen saver problem, tvOS 16.3.3 fixes Siri Remote bug.#1650: Cloud storage changes for Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive quirky printing problem.#1651: Dealing with leading zeroes in spreadsheet data, removing ad tracking from ckbk. #1652: OS updates, DPReview shuttered, LucidLink cloud storage.#1653: Apple Music Classical review, Authory service for writers, WWDC 2023 dates announced.
