Fugu: Mac OS X SCP Client

Fugu 1.2.0 was released on May 2, 2005 and hasn't been updated since (though there is a roadmap through version 1.5). However, it is still a useful utility if you transfer files using SCP/SFTP instead of FTP.

Although you can open up a Mac OS X terminal window and use the scp command from the command line, it is often nice to have a GUI interface for the task. Fugu uses what Windows users often refer to as the Norton Commander interface (a reference to an old DOS application). It provides two vertical panes. The one on the left is your local Mac. The pane on the right is the remote computer. Copying files between the two computers is easy to visualize and perform using this intuitive interface.
