Seven of the Best FTP Clients for Mac & Windows. (for Windows, Mac, Linux) Filezilla is the most popular, open-source FTP client available free for download on all three major operating systems – Windows, Mac, and Linux. Find a good FTP client which was compatible with Mac OS Sierra. When I was using El Capitan, I normally used.
2) How about instead of industrial grade snark, you literally suggest one of the better alternatives that has worked for you in a scripted context. Because there is literally no other reason to use it, is there? There have been better alternatives to snarky internet fora for literally quite a long time. I just search for stuff and skip past the snark to the actual information. So, now I know that ftp has actually been deleted, but of course I got that from the first post. It was all I needed.
You are wasting your life typing up your snark. I suspect I am literally the only person who will read it.
But don't worry, you don't get to interact with my life again as I will never log into MacRumors again - why would I, when I can search literally all the posts without doing that. Your mother told me she is very proud of you, by the way. Happy Thanksgiving. Commenting here because this is among the first search engine results for High Sierra. Regardless of its technical merits and the 'brain damaged' hyperbole from throAU above, FTP is still heavily used in legacy applications and embedded hardware. Telnet too, FYI. If you use Homebrew, ncftp is a very nice replacement client.
My only issue was it doesn't read.netrc files, but you can create what it calls 'bookmarks' using the bookmark command once you've logged in interactively. For servers, proftpd is the easiest.

It even comes with a launchd service. The other option is to, which is also easy enough. Click to expand.I had a red-faced moment when showing off the High Sierra beta to a linux nerd. I tried to telnet to something to demonstrate how similar it was to linux. Boy was I embarrassed! Of course, the Apple hyperbole kicked in to high gear and I mumbled something about 'depreciating legacy technologies, like the floppy disk.' In all seriousness, though, I wish they'd tell us these things.

Yes, ancient software like FTP and telnet are horribly insecure - but they are still part of many user's workflow. I had a red-faced moment when showing off the High Sierra beta to a linux nerd.

Click to expand.Yes, I know the feeling, minus the embarrassment in front of Linux fans. Honestly, Linux folks can sit there and criticize macOS all day long, but they really need to get their act together in terms of making their system palatable and sane. Not to mention the unholy licensing issues that pervade their community caused by the GPL. The state of Linux reminds me of from the days of Unix yore.
MacOS still has many kinks and quirks to be sure, but one of the main technical complaints that I had (the filesystem) is mitigated with APFS and Moreover, other systems like FreeBSD, Solaris, illumos, QNX, Multics(!), Lisp machines, and many others have a significant leg-up on Linux in many technical areas. So Linux people can brag all day about their system's superiority, but Linux (and even Unix) only ever got popular because of cultural and emotional reasons, not objective superiority over contemporary systems. And all this is coming from someone who cut their computing teeth on Linux and was crazy about it for quite some time. Aaanyway you can now enjoy your old, insecure programs once again brew install tnftp tnftpd telnet telnetd. Yes, I know the feeling, minus the embarrassment in front of Linux fans.
