- Cyberduck - SFTP/FTP Client for Mac Cyberduck is a fairly popular file transfer client for Apple Mac and Microsoft Windows. It supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. Cyberduck was built by David V. Kocher, Yves Langisch, and iterate GmbH.
Cyberduck is a GUI file transfer software that can be used to copy files to remote servers using SFTP that is available for both Windows and Macintosh clients.
Feb 03, 2006 sftp (command line) is around 5MB/s when cyberduck is around 80KB/s on the same file in SFTP mode and 300KB/s for scp mode. Worst: If I try the 3.7 ( r7380 ) then the SFTP mode give me 150KB/s and scp one around 300KB/s. Looks like a regression to me, or?
All modern operating system platforms now have native support for command line SFTP file copies, but most users will want a GUI client for drag and drop file copy between hosts. Windows and Apple users must use a third party application (like cyberduck or winscp), to provide file browser application - Linux users can use the native 'Nautilus' file browser which supports SFTP.

NOTE: Bitnami applications can be found in /opt/bitnami/apps.
The first step is to ensure that you have an SSH key for your server.
If you are using the Bitnami Launchpad for AWS Cloud, download the SSH key for your server in .ppk format (for FileZilla or WinSCP) or in .pem format (for Cyberduck) from the Launchpad detail page for your server.
Although you can use any SFTP/SCP client to transfer files to your server, this guide documents FileZilla (Windows, Linux and Mac OS X), WinSCP (Windows) and Cyberduck (Mac OS X).

NOTE: The steps below assume that you have obtained the SSH credentials for your server. Learn more about obtaining SSH credentials
Once you have your server's SSH key, choose your preferred application and follow the steps below to connect to the server using SFTP.
FileZilla
IMPORTANT: To use FileZilla, your server private key should be in PPK format.
Follow these steps:
Download and install FileZilla.
Launch FileZilla and use the 'Edit -> Settings' command to bring up FileZilla's configuration settings.
