### "Very good FTP client"

June 11, 2020

4.0

Cyberduck helped me to upload files to remote servers with a pretty interface.

Pros

What I most like about Cyberduck is the ease of use, the compatibility with macOS and the integration with cloud storages like S3 and Google Drive.

Cons

What I like least about Cyberduck is the configuration necessary for using private keys to connect to remote servers, it was a little difficult to me.

### "Best Simple FTP Solution"

December 5, 2022

5.0

We use Cyberduck for archiving critical documentation and collateral. It works well for this purpose, allowing me to quickly upload and download files with ease. We have several satisfied Cyberduck users at our company, but we've all downloaded and set it up individually, since there isn't an Enterprise deployment function. It's great, and very affordable (you can try it for free0.

Pros

Cyberduck is a very affordable, easy to use, file transfer and sharing program. You can securely connect it to pretty much any online server type for easy software uploading and downloading. It has a simple drag and drop interface.

Cons

The interface may be too basic for some users, especially if you're expecting a graphical UI. It also may not be a fit for organizations looking for an Enterprise FTP solution. It has all of the security you're looking for, but really works best for individual users.

### "Makes it easy to access files remotely"

October 6, 2020

4.0

My overall experience with Cyberduck has been positive, it is intuitive from a user perspective.

Pros

Cyberduck makes it easy for me to access files from my company's cloud based server in an organized and efficient way.

Cons

I don't like that you can't see file previews for photo and video files. I have to pull down all the files to see which one I need.

### "Cyberduck is a good FTP"

September 26, 2021

4.0

My overall experience is good, I've used Cyberduck for my project purpose. The FTP was helpful software for me so far, highly recommended.

Pros

I can easily access the SSH file directory with just a few clicks, it's really a comfortable FTP. File uploads, copy and paste, management moving everything looks simple with Cyberduck. Such a great software that was so helpful for me.

Cons

There is a speed problem I've noticed, big files take too long time for downloads. As well as I've faced few problems with synchronizing. I think this software need to improve the user experience a bit.

### "Solid FTP Client"

August 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

I've been using Cyberduck for years. Sometimes I'll use other FTPs, but I'll always end up coming back to Cyberduck. It's a solid program, that always works, and it works well.

Cons

I don't like the design of this program very much. Which is why from time to time I try new FTP clients until they stop working.

### "Easy File Transfer"

May 18, 2021

5.0

Easy to use, typically quick uploads, and an amusingly cute brand logo.

Pros

Free program that allows easy FTP uploads to existing server access. Easy to work with large or small files.

Cons

Speeds are occasionally slow, likely tied to my personal available bandwidth. On occasion file errors out during upload and needs to be restarted.

### "Best FTP Client Available"

June 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

Easy to use, FTP navigation, file management, over FTP editing. And it has the best name, always brings a smile to my face whenever I run it. Was first exposed to it 10 years ago, and have used it ever since. Every company I work for I make them buy a license.

Cons

When downloading an image from FTP when default action is to open file in text editor results in the image being opened in a text editor. Not really a problem as it is doing what I told it to do, however adding the ability to define a default action depending on file extension would be fantastic.

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

Cyberduck has been around a long time and has been easy to, go-to software that makes moving files across servers great.

### "Available on Mac and Windows - Easy to Setup and Use"

November 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

Cyberduck is easy to setup and use on both Macs and Windows machines. It also has special connections like the Rackspace Cloud Files API.

Cons

Sometimes it is a resource hog, but overall not complaints.

### "this is my first ever FTP client"

July 27, 2021

5.0

I love the interface that has options that are just enough for me. noting more, nothing else.

Pros

I never had a feeling I have to switch it. I've seen some other clients, but I always came back to Cyberduck.

Cons

Could be slightly cheaper nowadays, but its also not the most expensive one.

### "Cyberduck - Great program for SFTP file uploads"

June 3, 2021

5.0

It's been a huge timesaver. In my position, I have to upload dozens of files per week and having Cyberduck open all the time makes it super easy. Highly recommend if you are uploading a lot of files.

Pros

Ease of use. Literally 3 clicks and I am in the right bucket and ready to upload files. From there you drag and drop the file in. It's that easy.

Cons

There is a learning curve. you have to know what you are doing. They do not hold your hand with it.

### "Use it all the time"

August 26, 2021

5.0

Pros

Simple to use, easy to get connected, and even has a free version I can use to try it out. I can even buy the app in the app store for Mac if I want. Love it!

Cons

Nothing at this time. It's a great product that's very simple.

### "Best FTP Client"

April 12, 2021

5.0

I needed a basic FTP for design school and it just works. I have used it for over a decade on multiple devices and really have no issues with it.

Pros

It is dirt simple and has all the options you need with FTP, SFTP, SSH, and others. And the fact it is free even is better.

Cons

It asking you to buy a donation key is a bit annoying but that is not that big of a deal for the quality.

### "Seit langer Zeit mein zuverlässiger FTM Client"

April 23, 2021

3.0

Cyberduck ist vergleichsweise günstig und schlank gehalten, was sich in einer guten Performance widerspiegelt. Egal ob mehrere Server oder die Synchronisation von Ordnern, alles läuft reibungslos.

Pros

Insgesamt läuft Cyberduck sehr zuverlässig, bietet die wichtigsten Funktionen und einige sehr praktische Features obendrauf.

Cons

Leider brischt bei mir manchmal grundlos die Verbindung ab, und es hilft nur ein Neustart. Leider konnte ich das Problem bislang noch nicht beheben. Ansonsten ist das Programm sehr intuitiv zu bedienen, wenn man andere FTP-Programm kennt, erst recht.

### "A super easy and effective way to FTP"

February 23, 2021

5.0

I use this almost exclusively for my online FTP needs. Great product and I love that people can try for free.

Pros

I love how intuitive the interface is. It very much feels like I'm using a MacOS or another OS with drag and drop capabilities. Very simple to log in to my FTP and upload, save, download etc.

Cons

I think the navigation could be a little cleaner. Sometimes I find myself looking around for the right item. However this is a tough thing to improve upon with the complexities of FTP in general. Overall no complaints.

### "Good for what it does"

August 27, 2021

4.0

Pros

I like that it is simple to upload and download files into the file structure that we have set up.

Cons

I regularly have issues with logging in with my keychain password. And often times I will not have valid permissions to use this program and have to go through my settings with one of our dev ops engineers - it's so frequent, in fact, that all I have to say is I'm having the "Ducky problem again" and he knows immediately what it is. It is very frustrating when all I want to do is update the files on my website.

### "Excellent tool for pushing data to the cloud"

August 27, 2019

5.0

We use CyberDuck for uploading commonly used data and internal software to the cloud.

Pros

Exceptionally fast. Very reliable. Software just works.

Cons

I didn't find any, and my team mates didn't find any either.

### "So many options!"

February 23, 2021

5.0

In general, I really like the software. It's easy enough to use and has a lot of connectivity features not found in other file transfer programs.

Pros

The main reason I use Cyberduck instead of Filezilla for transferring files is that Cyberduck lets you connect to S3 buckets just like an FTP site. It's super convenient!

Cons

I ran in to a couple of issues with Google Drive implementation but that may be fixed by now. Google said Cyberduck was an untrusted program and I wasn't able to use it to move files to my Google Drive.

### "Great tool to manage remote files"

June 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

I've used this software to manage remote files over a ftp server. Is very easy to use and offers a lot of connection fuctionality to many providers.

Cons

I have no recommendation for additional feature.

### "Free FTP client for your routine tasks"

November 11, 2019

4.0

I used Cyberduck to FTP a variety of files, images (pretty heavy volume), documents, and html to my own server and to the back-end of my theater's Wordpress website. I would probably use it again.

Pros

It is one of the rare free FTP clients (I just use the app for file transfers), easy to install and use.

Cons

My free version tended to periodically have problems with re-opening connections and quit unexpectedly.

### "Excellent cloud storage browser!"

February 26, 2021

5.0

Great tool to use on the road or from the office to interact with cloud based storage including upload/download of files.

Pros

Easy to use and functionality rich - it provides a simple way to access cloud based storage providers.

Cons

No real cons, the tool has been independently developed to support a multitude of cloud storage platforms - if you are using a less common platform it might not be supported.

### "Good FTP client"

July 9, 2020

4.0

Cyberduck was a good experience for me to upload files.

Pros

The best part about Cyberduck is how easy it is to understand and to start to use, without waste time learning.

Cons

A few things are difficult to use and you have to stop and research a little bit more to find it and start to use it.

### "Perfect FTP Tool"

February 2, 2020

5.0

Pros

This little tool does what it should. The surface is very simple and beautiful. A connection to the server is quickly set up. Multiple bookmarks can be created. So you can connect quickly.

Cons

There is hardly any criticism of the tool. I haven't been using it for so long. Where I didn't take it easy at the beginning are the symbols from the quick selection menu. These are not really easy to interpret.

### "Great FTP program"

January 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

I have just started using Cyberduck, it is really simple to use. Once all your favourite connections are added it's quick to transfer files remotely and the edit feature is perfect for making quick changes to files without having to download and re-upload them manually.

Cons

The annoying dialog about purchasing the "free" software every time you use the app.
