Fugu: Mac OS X SCP Client
Submitted by todd on Sat, 2007-02-10 21:42
Fugu 1.2.0 was released on May 2, 2005 and hasn't been updated since (though there is a roadmap through version 1.5). However, it is still a useful utility if you transfer files using SCP/SFTP instead of FTP.
Although you can open up a Mac OS X terminal window and use the scp command from the command line, it is often nice to have a GUI interface for the task. Fugu uses what Windows users often refer to as the Norton Commander interface (a reference to an old DOS application). It provides two vertical panes. The one on the left is your local Mac. The pane on the right is the remote computer. Copying files between the two computers is easy to visualize and perform using this intuitive interface.
Fugu is great on Leopard! I

I am a newby programmer and found this application really easy to install and use. Needed some help initially setting up the remote connections, but otherwise very good!
As well as Snow Leopard!

It is a pretty nice client. Not quite as full of stuff as WinSCP, but a quick try showed that it automatically used my private key to get my logged in right away. And it seems to work "just fine" on Snow Leopard. Mmm, finally back to drag'n'drop file transfers. (I never did quite get why finder didn't just do it.)

Wow, it really does work great! I am a "newby" to Mac, and was missing WinSCP for a couple of weeks. After finding this, I never want to go back to a PC again!
