I have a dynamic web project which I run locally on tomcat. We have a linux based production server which is accessed via host, port username and password. Earlier, I had a windows machine and I used for transferring the war to the webapp folder of tomcat in linux machine.
Popular Alternatives to WinSCP for Mac. Explore 23 Mac apps like WinSCP, all suggested and ranked by the AlternativeTo user community. WinSCP, a popular free SFTP and FTP client for Windows, copies files between a local and remote computer. It supports also FTPS, SCP and WebDAV. I am unable to find any WinSCP equivalent for mac and also don't know the use of any other SFTP client to be used in mac. Please suggest. Macos tomcat war sftp winscp.
But now, we have got a mac machine to work and I am unable to find a similar way(or any other easier) to deploy my application war onto the production. What is the best way to deploy the war in the above mentioned scenario? I am unable to find any WinSCP equivalent for mac and also don't know the use of any other SFTP client to be used in mac. Please suggest.
Did You try FireFtp? It's a plug-in for Firefox (that means it's cross-platform). It works really well.
FireFTP is an FTP client, not an SCP/SSH client. It can't do half of what WinSCP does. I've considered building a Mac client like WinSCP, but it's a fairly huge endevour. I've been doing some iPhone development, and could try taking on the project eventually, but probably not any time soon.But yeah, I feel your Mac pain. Transmit is one of the better FTP clients on the Mac, yet it still does not support SCP/SSH.
I don't care for Fugu. It's latest release is now 4 years old, and half the time it doesn't work right. But it's open source, so a Mac spawn of WinSCP could start there. Custom commands are the big point of WinSCP for me. Editing temp files that upload on each save action is another biggie. Fugu doesn't really support either (though its counterpart iHook is supposed to handle the commands behavior).
Both Fugu and iHook tend to be on the ugly side though. Jerome187 Guest. Set up a Windows virtual machine.
I highly recommend VMWare Fusion. I'm currently running WinSCP and a plethora of other Windows applications on my Mac. This is a bit of a long winded approach, but you'll have virtually(pun) no software constraints. Honestly, This is the best option.
Might take a little extra work for some people to set it up; but this offers the best of both worlds! This way you have access to over-write/ drag and drop/ SyncToy type of applications which surely add a lot of value to the Microsoft machines.:wink: Cheers, K.K Neill Guest WinSCP for mac. Tried a bunch of apps - half didn't work at all, others lacked in features. I think worst of all was Cyberduck - I have no idea why it is so popular it so painful to use, especially if all you want to do is make a quick edit to a typo in a file on the server. In WinSCP this was a 30second task in Cyberduck I could still be fighting with it 20mins later especially as it doesn't seem to over-write files properly. Closet I came to a stable option is Forklift 2.
It's a great alternative to Finder and has fairly stable FTP support both in a dual panel set up or mounting the drive so you can treat it like a connected USB drive and edit files with your favorite apps. Still not as good as WinSCP but it kills two birds with one stone - an improvement over Finder and Cyberduck in one. Still searching for the perfect solution though - may have to use VMWare fusion and WinSCP. Guest Guest Re: Winscp for mac. Tried a bunch of apps - half didn't work at all, others lacked in features.

There's a simple hack if you grab the source code for filezilla and set the file change polling interval to something like 500ms it works like a charm for remote file editing over ssh.
I'm really surprised that there is nothing that comes close to winscp for linux or mac. I've tried sshfs, fish linux: konqueror + dolphin support fish:// addresses and every editor under the sun it seems and nothing is as easy to use as winscp. I'm working on a clone based on filezilla much as winscp is and I'll try to keep mac os as a target for compatibility when doing so. RF9 Guest I found a solution? I haven't spent much time with it. I just attempted to use winebottler to use winscp.
Followed directions here: Successfully created the.app Was not able to get it to work. When running.app, get x11 info box: ' X Error X Host does not exist ok reconnect(countdown) help '. Definitely the WinSCP application and not from X11 itself. Clicking ok or close = X11 continues to run, but don't see the WinSCP executable - Tried:. runtime arg of '/ini='C: mywinscpconfig.ini'. Tried winebottle with both the standalone WinSCP and the WinSCP installer. In the Prefix config / files - looked through the.reg files.
Found no winscp specific stuff. I just tried FileZilla and CyberDuck. Basically, both seemed to work great for me right off the bat. I already use FileZilla for my ftp needs. For my 'scp' needs, I connect via SFTP. Specified the user to connect to and it went and found my ssh key. I can do everything I wanted to do, everything I've done in WinSCP.
Really wish I hadn't spent the time trying to get WinSCP running. Oh well, live and learn.
( not to say WinSCP isn't great. I'll use it again if I'm ever on a Windows platform again. ) bbloqx Guest RE.
Scp -P portnum -i path/to/keyfile path/to/fileyouareuploading user@server:path/on/server -P portnum is the port number of the remote server. If your using port 22 then you don't need to specify a port here. But if you are using a port number other that 22, then place it behind the -P -i path/to/keyfile is your private key file. I personally don't use passwords when using ssh/scp instead I use private keys. If you use passwords then dont use the -i statement Here is what the command should look like. The main feature I miss from winscp on the mac is the automatic syncronisation of directories (ctrl + U). DOes anyone know of a program that will sync local and remote directories on the mac easily?
I have been using GoodSync (but it takes about 20 seconds to recognise a change in the file system. Hello, i have bought 'Transmit' too, and it is a great piece of Software. It can SFTP over SSH, is damn fast, and can synchronisation. I can authenticate with an SSH key, too. I am using it for FTP, and for me it is THE equivalent to WinSCP on Windows. Faget Guest WINSCP link.
If this is still is useful to anyone, I was just able to run WinSCP in my MacBook Pro using Wine. This was painless for me because I had set up Wine a while back to use WinBUGS in my Mac, but I do remember installing Wine was not entirely easy. WinSCP installed Putty on Wine by default, which was good because I needed Puttygen to convert my Mac's private SSH key to.ppk format; I loaded the key in WinSCP and using the VPN connection already set up on my Mac, WinSCP is running just fine. It really was a piece of cake (having Wine already) and so far it seems I don't need to spend $34 on Transit.
Felipebutcher Guest wine. Hi, This isn't a feature request, but a plea for help. I've been using WinSCP for a while now, and I have to say it's great. The problem is that its so good, I'm spoiled. I recently got a new job where I'm required to use a Mac. I know there is no WinSCP for Mac, but does anyone know of an SCP/SFTP client that is half decent for Mac? FileZilla SFTP transfer perfectly works on my machine.
Make sure you set your port number to 22 which is the default for SFTP. I tried to FTP with 21 and it did not work. Disappointingly, Fugu doesn't download directories. Kills it for me Fugu is buggy and not very useful at all - it's too old.
Try Cyberduck (don't let the name put you off). Finally something close to WinSCP. It's free as well, the guy just asks for donations. As soon as I tried it, it made my life 10 times easier and I gave a hefty donation just for the relief. Right now, Cyberduck is my problem. I use a windows at home, and I can connect every time using WinSCP. When using the macs at school (they're good macs,) however, Cyberduck won't connect.
I put all of the information in right, and it just refuses to connect. I even showed my hosting support people what was going on, and they said that it actually looks like it went through with no problems. They don't know what's wrong with it, and neither do I. It just doesn't work. Hifza Guest fugu. Update: When using wine/winSCP after about an hour, my pointer started to spaz out and then the winSCP window flew halfway off my screen t the left.
I am guessing this is because of the xQuartz graphics thing. Also, I don't like the fact that you can't open up another winSCP window due to you can only run one session of wine. Maybe you can run more, but I didn't want to spend anymore time on it. I am scrapping the winSCP on Mac effort and just going to use Transit & the terminal window.:( mac newbie wrote. Sorry, I cannot edit my original post; but I figured I would share my own tests, because people 'spout' options and seem like they know something although they never test and share the truth: All latest versions as of post date and I am working with Mac OSX Sierra but these do not work so far: Fugu SSH 1.2.0 does not run on Mac OSX Sierra. Fugu SSH 1.2.1 PREVIEW does run but it only does file upload/download commands not split view. CyberDuck does not do SCP.
Transmit does not do SCP and is not FREE. Filezilla does not do SCP. MuCommander is junk and I could not even get it to install and run properly. RBrowser connected but it is not FREE and interface extremely limited and crashed eventually.
Interarchy 10 connects via SCP, but it does not handle links correctly and you get an empty view when you 'shortcut'. Also not FREE. Flow is in the App Store, but it is not FREE so you canno even 'test' it out. Someone will chirp - Why not use FTP? Well, I am transferring files to my router which does not have FTP and I do not plan on installing it on there.
RMerlin firmware with Enterware-NG in case you are wondering. The HUNT continues, but I might have to 'give up' and use Fusion because I am one of those lazy bastards that can do command line although I am also one of those 'edit, save, button push, test, edit, save, button push, test' kind of guys. CLI out of the question as I am spoiled.:cry: /list kujon Guest. Ive been following this conversation for a year or so, since I got my mac. And I agree, there seems to be no real alternatives - wine did not do the trick for me.
So I developed an application called Hatchet, It uses SSH to execute the necessary commands and transfer files, and uses sudo to gain permissions when its needed. I made it as I used WinSCP with double click to edit and explorer mode. You are welcome to try it out.
Its not free though, but might become in the future depending on the interest. Dag tedtedson Guest transmit. Hi, This isn't a feature request, but a plea for help. I've been using WinSCP for a while now, and I have to say it's great.

I know there is no WinSCP for Mac, but does anyone know of an SCP/SFTP client that is half decent for Mac? Hi So MAC OS doesn't need this WinSCP you just mount the drive you want to work on and work (like any other UNIX machine) if the drives you need are not mountable then talk to IT dep' to give you permissions DooMFeaR Guest Cyberduck.
