Viper FTP Lite - FTP Client App Reviews
Simple and effective!
Very well designed and objective software! It is simple and delivers exactly what you need, with a fast and reliable interface. Recommended!
Crashed and burned
well how many stars can you give an app that crashes less than 5 minutes after beginning? 1 is my answer
Convinient to use
Very nice and usefull. I use it for uploading photos to my company server.
It didn’t work first time out. I needed an FTP app right away so I D/L another one. It didn’t work either and I figured the problem was on my end so I went back to this app and it functioned flawlessly. Transferred 80+MB in minutes. I’ll probably purchase the upgrade just to see how much better it is over the lite version. I used to use Fetch all the time but they now want twice as much as the full version of Viper FTP. The lite version works fine for a small user but it’s good to support developers that offer a free or trial version. I’m happy.
My company moved from a straight FTP site to WebDAV. My old FTP client couldn’t do that. Just needed one that could do WebDAV and this does. Simple, straight forward, and works!
Apple has a problem with Mac OSX and that is that the app store is nearly useless, almost all programs charge money and all the great free applications require hunting around on the internet where you risk being exposed to viruses and other nasties. Viper FTP looks great and compact, runs excellent as well and looks nice on 4k and 5k screens alike. Very glad to have found this on the app store and use it as my defacto FTP client. As my FTP use increases I will certianly consider upgrading to the paid version
Usability is a problem. This is a “Lite” crippleware version, and basic functionality is hidden (ie, multiple bookmarks for servers). The UI is custom, and the opposite of what Mac users expect. Usage is very non-intuitive.
The lite version only allows one connections. It has enough functionality for testing or for users that very occasionally use of (s)ftp. I have no complaints so far and will upgrade to the full version if I find a significant need for (s)ftp.
Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple. Cupertino, we have a problem. If it is not signed by Apple, then how did it get in the App Store? Why was an older version removed from my computer, without the courtesy of an E-Mail explaining its removal (even a vague reason would have been better than none)?
