Unleash the Duck: Managing Cloud Files with Cyberduck 🦆
Ditch the web interface! Learn how to manage FTP, S3, and Google Drive files seamlessly with this free, open-source tool.
If you're tired of logging into five different web portals to manage your files on S3, Google Drive, or your website's FTP, you need Cyberduck. It's a libre server and cloud storage browser that turns complex file management into a simple drag-and-drop experience. Best of all? It's completely free and open-source! 🚀
Step 1: Getting Connected
Download and install Cyberduck from the official website (cyberduck.io).
Launch the app and click the Open Connection button (top left).
Select your protocol from the dropdown (e.g., SFTP, Amazon S3, Google Drive).
Enter your server details, username, and password (or authenticate via browser for cloud drives).
Step 2: Transferring Files
Once connected, your cloud storage looks just like a local folder. You can drag and drop files from your desktop directly into Cyberduck to upload, or drag them out to download. ⚡
Pro Tip: using CLI
Did you know Cyberduck has a CLI tool called 'duck'? It allows you to transfer files via command line using the same bookmark profiles.
