Ferry
Every server. One window.

A fast, beautiful SFTP, FTP and S3 client for macOS and Windows. Several servers side by side, drag-and-drop between any of them, a terminal on the same connection — and passwords that never leave your machine.

What's new in 0.3.4
September 21, 2026Windows: Ferry now draws its own window frame — no more native title bar and menu row. The app menu lives under the Ferry icon at the top left, the caption buttons are Windows 11's own (Snap Layouts included), and light mode has solid, well-contrasted surfaces with Mica only behind the chrome. The window works down to 760×520; in a narrow window the sidebar slides over the content instead of squeezing it. Shortcut hints read Ctrl+K, not CtrlK.
Both platforms: About and Settings show the version you are actually running. A connection that is taking too long can be cancelled, and connecting shows which server it is reaching. A readable sidebar on glass. Check for Updates says "no updates found" instead of an error. Right-clicking a file shows the file's menu. Plus 0.3.0's built-in editor (Ctrl+E / ⌘E) and Quick Look (Space).
Download
Every download is the full app: 14 days free, then it asks for a license key.
