Captain FTP for Pc

I just bought this program and it does not even open! I have the latest version of Max OSx and it says I need a newer version. So disappointed!

needing a thread and segmenting ftp transfer give this a tried and watsed ten bucks.

If you leave the app open, it will eventually quit responding and crash, causing you to Force Quit the app. This isn’t an if, it’s a when. It’s just going to happen, and it’s been an issue for well over 6 months. At least it doesn’t crash in the middle of downloads like it used to… The Transfer Manager has a SERIOUS issue right now. Any file added to the Transfer Manager will hang with exactly 1 second left in the transfer. This means that batch transfers just stop, because the previous files never complete, so new files never start downloading. Your only choice is to delete the files manually from the Transfer Manager so the next files will start downloading. Keep doing this until your entire batch is complete. The files are in fact completely downloaded. This is just an unbelievably annoying bug in the Transfer Manager that comes darned close to breaking the functionality of the app itself. Individual file downloads complete properly. It’s just batch downloads which are broken. All that said, this is one of the precious few FTP programs for the Mac which supports segmented downloading. Segmented downloading is the ONLY way to truly access all the speed of your expensive broadband connection when using FTP for file transfers. It’s inexcusable in this day and age for any FTP program, especially one you are charged for, to NOT support segmented downloading! Do not ever buy an FTP program without this feature. I will happily raise my rating on this app to 4-Stars once the Transfer Manager bug is fixed, and will give it a full 5-Stars once the crash bug is FINALLY found and squashed.

I'd been using CuteFTP for Mac, which I'd bought back when it was owned by JASC, until an unavoidable upgrade to Snow Leopard finally disabled it. I went with CaptainFTP as a replacement FTP client because I suspected it was somehow related to CuteFTP, and so far, I LOVE IT. It has a familiar user interface, very much like CuteFTP's interface, and I was able to import my settings from CuteFTP so that I didn't have to re-enter all the servers, accounts, and passwords that I had saved in my address book. Not only that, but I was able to create shortcut icons, not just on the app's menu bar but also on Finder, so I can easily access the FTP servers I use the most and drag and drop any files that need moving right on to them. I have a feeling there are even more features I haven't discovered yet, but so far, everything I could possibly need out of an FTP client has been covered and in an exceptional way.
