Why we built this FTP client
File transfer tools are often either too basic (fine for occasional uploads) or too cluttered (slow when you work with multiple servers daily). We built FQB Transfer to support modern protocols, reduce friction, and keep the workflow fast and predictable—especially for teams juggling staging/production environments and client infrastructure.
What FQB Transfer supports
FQB Transfer is a secure FTP client that supports the protocols professionals actually use:
- FTP and FTPS (FTP over TLS)
- SFTP and SCP (SSH-based file transfer)
- Amazon S3 (S3 buckets)
- WebDAV (WebDAV servers)
Designed for day-to-day work: saved sessions, multiple connections, clear navigation, and a workflow that stays consistent across projects.
Security and privacy approach
Security matters in any FTP/SFTP client. We recommend using SFTP or FTPS whenever possible. You control which servers you connect to and what data you transfer. Keep your server credentials safe and use strong authentication (password managers, SSH keys, least-privilege access).
FQB Transfer is built for secure workflows: use SFTP/FTPS, verify host keys when prompted, and keep staging/production clearly separated.

Is FQB Transfer a WinSCP alternative for Mac?

What’s the best protocol to use?
Use SFTP when available (common default port 22). Use FTPS when your provider requires FTP over TLS. Avoid plain FTP unless you have no alternative.
