Do not use ClassicFTP it is sooo slow and to my knowledge it lacks major features such as CHMODEing.

SublimeText is a really good one. But unfortunately it’s only for windows.

Have you tried cmnd . for preferences?
There you will find that you can select an editor, I use smultron.
Try cmnd i to change permissions or ctrl return to copy or change the name.
Sorry if repeat

FireFTP and Fetch for me. For simple jobs, Go=>Server… and type ftp://server is also adequate.

I’ve been using Filezilla for a long time. I personally found it much superior than Cyberduck. chmod’ing, remote editing, toggling hidden/system files etc can’t be done (or maybe there is some complex way to do it) in Cyberduck. Thanks for the article, I have some others to try.

AFAIK, there’s no stand-alone FTP client included in OS X, but you can use “Go –> Connect To Server” menu (or Command + K) in Finder to connect to FTP server.
