I remember CyberDuck; I looked at it a long time ago and wasn't impressed. It was just okay. Fetch has been my favorite FTP client since before OS X came along. I frequently edit files on remote systems where a full-featured GUI editor is better for the use case than a command-line editor. If TextWrangler/BBEdit didn't have such good support for editing remotely over FTP/SFTP, I'd probably use Fetch's external editor feature to do it that way. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
