Product Description:

ForkLift is a power tool for the Mac, the entire file management workflow combined in a single app. Developed by Binarynights, ForkLift is designed to be the fastest and most powerful FTP/SFTP/WebDAV/Amazon S3 client, it connects to Bluetooth devices, and handles files across these protocols. Its dual pane view maximizes productivity, a Cocoa based interface with smart preview and spring-loaded folders lets you browse your local and remote folders and use Favorites just like in Finder. Use it to edit files or preview images stored in a remote folder, even within archives.

ForkLift 1.1 integrates a full featured batch rename tool, an application deleter and a small code called droplet, which enables you to create automated upload shortcuts for your most used remote folders, and place them anywhere in your file system.

What's new in this version:

  • Local path setting for remote connections: this new option will bind a specific local folder to a remote connection. This means that Favorites can now load a remote target folder, and a local source folder in the two panes in just one click. You can enter the path to the local folder on the Options tab of the Connect... panel.
  • URL copy: this feature has been requested by many users, and now, here it is. The feature allows you to copy the full URL pointing to a file stored on a remote server to the clipboard. This will allow to easily share the files stored on your FTP server or S3 account with your friends. Settings are located on the Options tab of the Connect... panel, the feature is accessed from the right click context menu in the file list.
  • QuickLook: will now work on all remote connections including Amazon S3, iDisk, FTP, SFTP, even on your Bluetooth mobile phone.
  • Autoparsing URL: you can now paste URLs into the server field of the Connect... panel, and the corresponding fields will be auto-filled.
  • fixed some issues with SMB and other shared resource connections.
  • fixed the problem where the file list failed to refresh after deleting from shared resources and FAT volumes.
  • keyboard navigation should work more reliable in the activity window
  • minor fixes and updates on the WebDAV module

ForkLift CommentaryCurrently Lags, but hopeful for future versions. - Version: 1.5.2, 5/11/2008 03:54PM PST

Currently Forklift tends towards lagging between every adjustment I make i.e., any drag, drop, click, or selection is followed by a spinning beachball. If that weren't an issue I believe Forklift would be a primary tool in my daily workflows.

Although this works great on my MacBook Pro I am still having problems with it
on my iMac G5. Specifically getting it to log into my iDisk. I have had to revert
back to 1.2 to use this on my iMac.

It keeps giving me a challenge and response error even though I am 100 percent
positive I am using the correct password. Yes this is the problem, version
1.5 works fine on the MBP, never connects to iDisk on the iMac.
