Shareware; $29

Current Version: 1.0.2 (May 27, 2008)

Flow is a new FTP client built exclusively for Mac OS X Leopard. Flow streamlines both transferring and editing files by leveraging your high-speed connection. Key features include:

  • QuickLook - Just like the Finder, Flow can QuickLook pretty much any file - images, movies, music, PDFs, text documents and even web-pages.
  • Dropmarks - Drag a bookmark to your desktop to create an Instant Droplet. Drop a file on its icon and watch as your file is quickly uploaded in Finder-like copy-window.
  • Solid Connections - Support for FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, .Mac, and Local Connections, concurrently to allow multiple transfers and editing sessions to take place at the same time.
  • Editing - Edit in the sleek internal editor (with tabs, syntax coloring, live previewing, and code sense), or with another editor of your choice.
  • URL Copying - URLs to your remote files can be copied instantly, even automatically after uploading. We promise that once you use this, you'll never be able to live without it again.

Version 1.0.2 adds/changes the following:

  • Fix: FTP URLs
  • Fix: Editor Crashing
  • Fix: Reload, action, and search toolbar items
  • Fix: (S)FTP Directory listings
  • Fix: Bookmark folder creation
  • Fix: Droplets
  • Fix: Duplication
  • Fix: Deletion
  • Fix: Info View
  • Fix: Source List-related crashes
  • Fix: Setting permissions on upload
  • Fix: Autosaving (backing up) of files in the internal editor.
  • Fix: Concurrency/Threading
  • "Permissions" section of InfoView is now un-editable, and displayed in symbolic notation instead of an octal.
  • There is now a growl notification for "File Saved," when editing changes (both internal/external) are saved.

Flow is distributed as a 15-day fully featured trial, and is available for purchase for $29.

These are applications that are newer and of potential interest, but which I haven't yet selected for permanent inclusion. Have a look, and let me know if you think they deserve to be part of the permanent collection!
