FQB Transfer

What FQB Transfer is

FQB Transfer is a macOS client for transferring and managing files on remote servers. It supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, Amazon S3, and WebDAV, and is aimed at developers, system administrators, agencies, teams, and businesses. Its dual-pane interface handles uploads, downloads, renaming, moving, deleting, folder creation, and drag-and-drop transfers. Transfer queues show progress in real time; multiple transfers can run concurrently, and file and folder synchronization is available.

Tabbed windows let users keep several server connections open at once. Remote files can be opened in an editor, with saved changes uploaded automatically. The feature list also includes a built-in terminal. The client connects to Amazon S3 buckets and WebDAV servers. Saved sessions can be exported for backup or sharing, then imported on another Mac. FQB Transfer is built specifically for macOS and supports Apple Silicon. The maker says credentials are stored securely, while also allowing users to skip saving them on the Mac and enter them when connecting. Its security guidance recommends SFTP or FTPS where possible, checking host keys when prompted, and using strong authentication with least-privilege access. Email and phone support are listed.
