CyberdogCYBERDOG VS CYBERDUCK
Cyberduck is a well-loved file browser for SFTP, FTP and cloud storage. Cyberdog does the same everyday job, then goes one step further: when you need to read a log, restart a service or find out why a disk is full, the terminal and a live health dashboard are in the same window, on the same connection. It is free, open source (MIT) and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.
