What’s New
Version 1.5.0 · 9/29/2026CLOUD STORAGE (FULL) - Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi and MinIO: buckets open as folders in the same two panes as your servers, with the queue, sync and auto-upload. - Large files upload in parts, downloads resume, and renaming a folder happens on the server. AUTO-UPLOAD ON SAVE (FULL) - Turn it on and work in your local folder: every file you save goes up to the server on its own, through the transfer queue. Temporary editor files and your .syncignore rules are respected. Nothing is ever deleted on the server. INFO PANEL - Option-Command-I opens a panel with the preview and details of the selection: images, code, permissions, owner, public URL. - Edit Here: fix a line in a text file without leaving the window. Straight quotes stay straight. BATCH RENAME (FULL) - Find and replace (also with regular expressions), prefix, suffix, numbering, letter case and extension, with a live preview. Conflicts block the rename instead of overwriting a file. FREE FOR EVERYONE - SSH key authentication. - Importing sites from FileZilla and ~/.ssh/config, including keys and jump hosts. A welcome screen on first launch walks you through it. - Quick Connect now speaks SFTP and FTPS, not only plain FTP. TRY FULL - A free 7-day trial of everything in FULL. No charge and nothing renews. FTPS - Works with servers that require TLS session reuse on the data connection (the default of vsftpd and FileZilla Server): before, you could log in but not list or transfer. AND MORE - Speed and time left for every transfer and for the whole queue. - The number of active transfers on the Dock icon. - Shortcuts: "Upload Files to Site" and "Open Site", also as Finder Quick Actions. sftp://, ftps:// and ftp:// links open in Upstream. - A cleaner main window: the home uses the whole width when you are not connected, and the toolbar follows the new macOS design. Thanks to everyone who asked for S3, ProxyJump and strict FTPS on Product Hunt.
