Gopher FTP

Gopher is a powerful, native file transfer application designed exclusively for macOS. Connect to remote servers, cloud storage services, and network drives with ease using industry-standard protocols including FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and Google Drive.

PROTOCOL SUPPORT

Gopher provides robust support for all major file transfer protocols. Use FTP and FTPS for traditional server connections with optional SSL/TLS encryption. Connect securely to Unix and Linux servers via SFTP with full SSH key authentication support, including ED25519, RSA, and ECDSA keys. Access web servers and content management systems through WebDAV and WebDAVS protocols.

CLOUD STORAGE INTEGRATION

Seamlessly browse and manage files across popular cloud storage platforms. Connect to Amazon S3 buckets for scalable object storage access. Use Backblaze B2 for cost-effective cloud backup solutions. Integrate with Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and Google Drive to manage your cloud files alongside traditional server connections. OAuth authentication ensures secure access to all cloud services without storing passwords locally.

INTUITIVE FILE BROWSER

Navigate remote file systems with a familiar, Finder-like interface. Choose from multiple view modes including detailed list view, thumbnail grid, column browser, and cover flow. Toggle hidden files visibility, sort by name, size, date, or file type. Use the integrated path bar for quick navigation and the inspector panel for detailed file information including permissions, ownership, and modification dates.

TRANSFER MANAGEMENT

Queue multiple file transfers and manage them efficiently with the built-in transfer manager. Pause and resume transfers at any time without losing progress. Configure bandwidth throttling to prevent network saturation during large transfers. Enable checksum verification using SHA-256 to ensure file integrity after transfer completion. Set up concurrent transfers to maximize throughput when working with multiple small files.

SECURITY FIRST DESIGN

Your credentials are protected using the macOS Keychain with optional biometric authentication via Touch ID. SSH keys are stored securely with proper file permissions. All cloud service connections use OAuth tokens that can be revoked at any time. TLS 1.2 and higher ensures encrypted connections to FTPS and WebDAV servers.

PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES

Create bookmarks for frequently accessed servers and directories. Use Quick Connect for fast one-time connections without saving server details. Organize servers into groups for better management. Take advantage of deep linking support to open connections directly from other applications or scripts. Drag and drop files between local and remote panes or from Finder.

NATIVE MAC EXPERIENCE

Built from the ground up for macOS using AppKit, Gopher delivers a responsive, native experience that integrates seamlessly with your Mac. Full keyboard navigation support with standard shortcuts. Dark mode interface reduces eye strain during extended sessions. Window state restoration remembers your layout between sessions. Tabbed interface allows multiple connections in a single window.

TRANSFER SYNCHRONIZATION

Compare local and remote directories to identify differences. Choose comparison methods based on modification date, file size, or checksum. Configure rules to skip dot files, system files, or specific patterns. Bidirectional sync keeps folders in sync across locations.

PROFESSIONAL FEATURES

View and execute raw FTP commands for advanced server interaction. Set custom file permissions on SFTP servers. Preserve file metadata including timestamps during transfers. Configure connection timeouts and keep-alive intervals for unstable networks. Comprehensive logging helps troubleshoot connection issues.
