Transmit vs Cyberduck Comments
Positive comment by Paul · Mar 27, 2020
Cyberduck a very good FTP/SFTP client for macOS and Windows, but Transmit has a cleaner and more modern interface and offers more features, so if you're willing to spend a few bucks in a good software, definitely buy Transmit and you won't regret it.
