Just wanted to check in as I just got a new Mac, and the last time the OP was updated was almost 3 years ago. I'm looking for recommendations for an FTP client, and the OP recommends Cyberduck, Panic, and FileZilla. Is this still the goto choices? If so, might as well use FileZilla, but I don't mind buying something either. My preferred Windows FTP Client is paid software (FlashFXP).

GoldfishStew posted:I would like to use a notes app that would sync to all my iOS devices but not through like iCloud or Dropbox or anything. Either just synch with each other when on same WIFI or like with something I can set up on OwnCloud. Why would you not want to use iCloud which "just works"? Seems silly. But to your point, OwnCloud has an iOS app, a MacOS client, and a Windows client. I'm not sure why you want to over-engineer this, though?

The Lord Bude posted:I said he’d have it there, not that he’d end up using it. I certainly plan on running him through key gestures, if he ends up using them or not is up to him. Fair enough, but I just remembered one thing. Doesn’t the official iMouse or whatever it’s called also respond to gestures or am I completely misremembering… Also, using a mouse on a laptop is silly anyway.

I had no idea there was an 8. I’m going to stick with the “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” mentality. Plus I have shared vaults for certain business purposes. I wonder if the whole team would have to upgrade if I did.

The Lord Bude posted:lol no. My dad doesn’t do used stuff (and neither do I). As for backup, he really just wants spare copies of important financial stuff in the event of his laptop dying or getting stolen, he’s not hugely worried about fire or anything else on the computer. I hope he’s careful with his beverages and doesn’t care about bitrot or file corrosion that may happen during the transfer that he won’t notice until he tries to retrieve it, or his wife gets mad and smashes it, I can go on forever.
