File transfer clients

Finder can connect to a few kinds of server, but it has no transfer queue, no saved logins for most protocols and no view of cloud object storage. A file transfer client keeps bookmarks for your servers, shows the remote side next to your Mac's files, and moves files in the background while you keep working.

The apps here differ mainly in what they connect to. Some cover classic FTP and SFTP servers, some add WebDAV and many cloud services, and some focus on Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage. Check which protocols and providers you use, whether you want a native Mac window or the same app on other systems, and how each one stores your passwords and keys.
