+ | ##ForkLift File Manager | ||
+ | |||
+ | ForkLift is free alternative File Manager to Finder that [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/forklift-file-manager-and-ftp-sftp-webdav-amazon-s3-client/id412448059?mt=12|is available]] from the Mac App Store. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the File Fabric exposes open protocols - FTP, SFTP, WebDav and S3, it is possible to directly connect to the File Fabric using the ForkLift App. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ###To Setup | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will use WebDav to demonstrate how this can be used to connect directly to the File Fabric. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First launch Forklift and click the 'connect' icon. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | Choose WebDav and fill in the File Fabric WebDav server and user authentication details: | ||

+ | |||
+ | Once this done the account is connected and can be used within Forklift. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Other protocols (S3, SFTP, FTP) can also be used in a similar way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ## FreeFileSync | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https://freefilesync.org/|FreeFileSync]] is a free synchornization App that is able to sync local OSX files to remote FTP/S and SFTP enabled platforms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the File Fabric's protocol Gateway supports both of these protocols it can be used as an alternative synchronization application to the File Fabric's desktop Sync App. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | It is beyond the scope of these documents to fully outline the features and setup but the App is very intuitive and easy to use and setup. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that if parallel threads are required for speed then the donation ware variant of the App must be used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ## Transmit | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https://panic.com/transmit/|Transmit]] is a well known Mac Application and many Mac users may well already be using it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The File Fabric can easily be access using Transmit, in a variety of ways, either using FTP/S, WebDav or S3 Transmit connection options. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ ::screenshot_2020-07-28_at_15.34.26.png?600 |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that in addition to be basic File and Folder directory access and management, Transmit can also be used to sync a local Mac directory with a source (FTP/s, WebDav, S3) directory. | ||
