Frequently Asked Questions
An FTP client is a tool that helps you connect to a remote server using the FTP protocol. It allows you to browse files, download them, and manage the server’s file system. While you can use Finder to access FTP servers, this only lets you view or download files. To upload files or fully manage the server, you need a dedicated FTP software for Mac.
FTP is not a secure protocol, as it transfers all information, including usernames and passwords, in the open form. For secure transfers, you should use FTPS or SFTP, which encrypt the connection to ensure privacy or use third-party clients that provide encryption options.

With CloudMounter, you can connect to an FTP server directly from Finder by entering your login details and server settings. This lets you manage files as if they were stored locally, with no limit on the number of connections.

You can also use macOS's built-in method: open Finder, go to Go > Connect to Server (or press Command+K), enter the server address, and log in. However, this option only allows you to view and download files. To upload or modify files, a third-party FTP client for Mac is required.

Yes, CloudMounter connects not only to FTP servers but also to popular cloud storage services. You can easily transfer files directly from an FTP server to cloud storage on your Mac.
A free 7-day trial is available when you choose a yearly subscription. You can cancel anytime during the trial without being charged. The payment is only processed after the trial period ends.
