RBrowser overview

RBrowser is an easy-to-use tool for FTP - SFTP remote file management, file transfer, and folder synchronization. It provides access to files on the local host as well as remote UNIX systems with an easy-to-use graphical interface. RBrowser provides secure file transfers as well as folder sync that preserve HFS metadata. Maintain your Web pages and sync the changes with a single click. Backup your important files using the folder-sync engine in RBrowser!

RBrowser is now free! Use this license:
User: rbrowser
License key: 2fn0-8otn-tcz9-k479-yll7-xrw3-knj

Features
  • Folder Synchronization: local-to-local and local-to-remote using any protocol. If folder sync's target is a local or remote Mac with ssh access, fork/type/creator data is preserved!
  • Retains fork data, type/creator and attributes on Mac-to-Mac transfers.
  • Automatic detection protocol capabilities on the remote host - no need to know whether to use FTP, SFTP or SSH, just leave it on "Auto" and let RBrowser figure out the best protocol to use.
  • Definitely faster in all protocols and operations.
  • Protocol independent transfers - remote-to-remote transfers between any hosts.
  • Intelligent combining of ssh/sftp for optimal performance to get the best of the secure world - no longer have to decide which protocol is better for file operations or transfers. RBrowser's intelligent sftp/ssh protocol layer picks the optimal tool for the job for you automagically.

I would like to say thank you to Robert for writing a fantastic product. Not only does the package do what it says, Robert answered every single one of my emails within a few hours.

I'm with Luther below: Never had a problem with RBrowser Lite, but I cannot connect to my usual FTP site with the newer versions -- or, rather, it connects, but the file list is blank. The log on the server says it's connected, but nothing shows up in the client window. RBrowser's troubleshooting gives two possible solutions; one doesn't fix it, and the other is referring to a preference setting that no longer exists in the newer versions. And I can't find an e-mail address on the RBrowser site to point out the problem. Ugh. Loved RBrowser Lite, but will have to go looking for another plain ol' FTP client.

I just want to leave a big "thank you" for this cool, awesome piece of software. I'm using it in free mode with 10.39 for my private homepage and tried a copy of Netfinder with OS 9.22 before, but rbrowser lite is even better. Thank you so much!

I've been using RBrowserLite for years with no problems. Great little FTP utility. I just purchased a new MacBook to replace a Mac Mini G4 so thought I download the newer version of RBrowser that is Intel native. Deleted old app/prefs/application support of the Lite Version, but couldn't get v. 4.3.5 of RBrowser to work. I have reinstalled RB Lite on my Mini from my backup, and all is working well just like it used to. Guess I'll just use the lite version under Rosetta emulation for now.

Like many recent applications that 'claim' to be Universal Binaries that work on MacIntel machines, this is another one that just doesn't live up to its claim. Runs just fine on my old G4, but crashes like Gangbusters on this new iMac.
