One of the first and most important things most users will be doing with the software is connecting to a cloud storage service, for the purposes of this review I will be connecting to Dropbox. Whilst Cyberduck might not have the most slick looking interface in the world it is definitely a very functional and well though design, this approach means accessing all of the main functionality of the application is both quick and simple.
Once the installation has finished we will be immediately be taken to the main browser window (as can be seen above), from here we can start exploring the application further and configuring the first backup storage provider to work within the client! Cyberduck Windows Interface Most free software providers usually want some information from your these days so this was nice to that Cyberduck can be installed without any of this! It is also nice to report that at no point during this process was I asked to sign-up for an account or validate my email address and so on. Once downloaded the installation was impressively quick and easy taking only a few seconds and needing only a couple of clicks of the mouse before being ready to go! This begins in the next section where I will download the installer and start working with Cyberduck on my own Windows PC! Downloading and InstallingĬyberduck is free and open source software, as such it can easily be installed via the Cyberduck Downloads Page and at just over 47MB this is a relatively quick and easy download.
To learn about these features, visit the Cyberduck help pages.In this section of my Cyberduck review I will be making use of the software myself and looking at the functionality on offer in more detail. Right-click on a file on your Web server and you will see all sorts of things you can do to it, such as renaming it and editing it. To delete a file that you have uploaded to your server, click on the file in the Cyberduck window to select it, and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
By default, if you close Cyberduck with a connection still open, it reconnects to that server when you next start up Cyberduck. DisconnectingĪfter you’ve finished uploading stuff, click the Disconnect button at the top right of the Cyberduck browser window to disconnect from your Web server. If you need to download a Web page from your site again (for example, you lost the original on your PC), simply drag and drop your page the other way, from Cyberduck to a Finder window (or to your Desktop). If you now open up a Web browser and go to your website’s URL, you should see your Web page on the Internet. The website’s index page is now uploaded to the Web server.
