I'm surprised there's still a market for innovation in FTP clients. Most everyone I know does automated deployments now with Heroku, AppEngine, git push, etc..

It does sftp too, which is a very nice filetransfer lingua franca kind of. Samba etc. are a pain to deal with so I tend to just use sftp for everything, even within the office.

Cyberduck also does S3 and the cloudy stuff.

Nice, the developers of Mountain Duck won the Swiss Open Source Award for their Cyberduck just yesterday! http://www.ossawards.ch/

Saw this in a blog. They deserve it.

Windows had support for mounting FTP, and WebDAV(HTTP/HTTPS) natively since Windows XP.

The "blob" storage support however was pretty damn needed especially considering that you had to usually install dedicated software for each service you use to get that ability before, and the few universal projects that existed have so far been mostly abandoned.
