ForkLift is a new file transfer solution that not a lot of people have heard of yet. MacUpdate has decided to partner with the great folks at BinaryNights to expose to the world what we're calling "the next Transmit." We think that ForkLift's developers are adding features at a faster pace than the most popular FTP client on the Mac. We think Forklift has a strong chance of pulling out from the shadows and becoming the next major file transfer app on the Mac. Be sure to check out some of the demonstration videos of ForkLift's capabilities.

ForkLift is a powerful file transfer solution. It allows you to transfer files using FTP, SFTP, FXP, WebDAV, Amazon S3 and even Bluetooth. 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 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.

Features:

• Dual-pane view
• Tabs
• Archives: Rar, Zip, Tar, Gz
• Amazon S3 support
• WebDAV support
• Connect to FTP/SFTP, FTP/TLS, Bluetooth
• Live preview (Archives, FTP, Bluetooth, etc...)
• Spring loaded folders
• Plugin architecture
• "Any to any" workflow
• Remote editing
• Filters
• Integrated Spotlight
• Smart folders
• Growl support
• Favorites shortcuts
• QuickLook local and remote files
• Droplets for drag and drop automated file transfers

One of MacUpdate's favorite features is called "FXP." It allows you to copy files from one remote FTP server to another, without first downloading it to your Mac and then uploading it to the destination server. As you can imagine, this direct connect ability can save a ton of time moving files between servers and making fast backups.
