Key Features of ForkLift

Connect to multiple servers

Find and select the necessary items even on remote servers by entering file names, extensions, text, or tags. Browse archives as simple folders. Speaking of archive management, the utility supports Quick Look, search, and filters.

Instant viewing capability

Find all the details about a selected file in the preview pane. Inspect photos, PDFs, and other file types. Edit file text on local and remote servers. Set your Mac SFTP client to view files by default, and you’ll see files accessed through it instead of Finder.

One-way or two-way synchronization

Compare local and remote sources with a snap of your fingers using this FTP app for Mac. Find matches, modified, new, and deleted items in archived folders. Instantly sync them one- or two-way, or add them to Favorites.

Quick access to files
