FlashFTP
FlashFTP is an FTP and SFTP client for macOS designed for developers, web designers, and system administrators who need to upload, download, and manage files on remote servers. It provides a file browser interface for local and remote file systems, drag-and-drop transfers, support for multiple simultaneous connections, and commonly used FTP operations like delete, rename, and directory synchronisation. It serves as a lightweight alternative to full-featured server management tools for users who primarily need reliable file transfer capabilities.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about FlashFTP's current development status or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. The app may still be actively maintained, or development may have slowed. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you have about two years left to find a solution. Contact the developer directly (visit their website or support email) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned, or whether the Intel build will continue to receive updates through 2028. If the developer is no longer active or cannot commit to a native build, consider switching to a modern actively-maintained FTP client with confirmed Apple Silicon support — Transmit (from Panic), Commander One, or Cyberduck (free and open-source) are all native and still under active development. Acting sooner rather than later gives you time to migrate your connection profiles and workflows before the Rosetta deadline arrives.
