The bookmarks are exportable by dragging-and-dropping, feature used for uploading files to. The bookmark menu is a very simple way for anyone to store the connection settings from every server and eventually edit them. You just enter the host's address and CyberDuck will try to connect to it with an anonymous account, that being the most commonly used, and with standard settings.Īn inexperienced user can find, at first, in the toolbar all the features he might need: quick connect, open connections, refresh, disconnect and a cool bookmarks menu. It gives the possibility for the low-end users to use it for their simple needs in a relaxed and easy way without any supplementary configurations, while the more advanced ones can "dig up" the extra menus for a more customized connection and transfer.Īt first launch, you see a drop-down menu called "Quick launch". On the other hand, those incorporated in other softwares as a feature do not offer enough for the mid-level users, not to mention the high-end one, and they have to install a stand-alone version anyway.Ĭyberduck gives everyone what they need. Those users tend to get "scared" of it and stop using it. The standalone FTP clients for example, offer more features and require more configurations than an inexperienced user can handle. The problem with everything that is on the market is that it is either too complicated or very simple and lacks many features that some might miss when using them. Kocher, CyberDuck's "daddy", managed to do so. As the competition is high, the success of such a product will be based on how the developer manages to implement key features, features that a FTP client should have, in a user-friendly environment. I can't personally say that I have such knowledge, but then again, I am not that good of a programmer in the first place. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to know how to implement such a feature into another software or to make a stand alone FTP client. You can see FTP capabilities included in many browsers, especially in those with an open source.
The number of FTP clients has incredibly increased in the last years.
