> Cyberduck is the friendly free client for FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, S3, Google Drive, Dropbox and more — one window for every server and cloud, with Cryptomator encryption built in…

Cyberduck is a free, open-source file transfer client for FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Azure, Backblaze B2 and dozens of other protocols and cloud services, presented in one clean browser interface. It edits remote files in your local editor with changes uploaded on save, resumes interrupted transfers, synchronizes folders, and integrates Cryptomator vaults for client-side encrypted cloud storage. A donation prompt is its only ask; a registration key removes it.

## Installation

1. **Download the installer** — Download Cyberduck from the official vendor link on this page.
2. **Run the setup** — Open the downloaded installer file and follow the on-screen installation steps.
3. **Launch the app** — Start Cyberduck from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

## Editorial verdict

Cyberduck's achievement is making twenty years of file-transfer protocols feel like one application. FTP and SFTP servers, WebDAV shares, S3 buckets, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2, even OpenStack and DRACOON — all appear as the same bookmarkable browser window with drag-and-drop transfers, a queue that resumes what the network dropped, and folder synchronization that behaves predictably. Editing a remote file opens it in your local editor and uploads on save, which quietly eliminates the download-edit-upload ritual that defines lesser clients.

The Cryptomator integration is the connoisseur's feature: browse and transfer files inside encrypted vaults on untrusted cloud storage, decrypted only on your machine. The free version is the full product — the catch, if it is one, is a donation prompt at exit that a one-time contribution key (or the paid Store build) removes. Transfers are not the absolute fastest in class on multi-gigabyte single files, and the interface favors clarity over the dense two-pane power of WinSCP. For anyone juggling a web host, a NAS, and two clouds, Cyberduck is the single window that ends the juggling. Bookmarks and preferences also roam cleanly between machines, which suits anyone working from both a desk and a laptop.

### Strengths

- One interface for FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Azure, B2 and many more — bookmarks make every service feel identical.
- Edit remote files in your favorite local editor with automatic upload on save, plus resumable transfers and dependable folder synchronization.
- Cryptomator vault support provides client-side encrypted cloud storage browsing that few rival clients offer at all.
- Free and open source (GPL) with the full feature set; the only nudge is a donation prompt that a contribution key removes.
- Connections import from other clients, profiles for exotic services install from a built-in library, and the same app exists on macOS for mixed shops.

### Trade-offs

- Peak throughput on huge single-file transfers trails specialist clients like WinSCP slightly in side-by-side tests.
- The single-pane browser design is clean but slower for constant server-to-server shuffling than a traditional two-pane commander layout.
- The exit donation prompt, while gentle, recurs until you contribute or buy the Store version — a fair ask that still counts as friction.

## FAQ

**Is Cyberduck free?**

Yes. Cyberduck is free and open source under the GPL, with all features included. It shows a donation prompt when you quit; contributing (from $10) gets you a registration key that removes it permanently. Paid Windows Store and Mac App Store builds are the same software sold as a convenience.

**Which services can Cyberduck connect to?**

FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, OpenStack Swift, Rackspace, and many more, with additional connection profiles installable from within the app.

**Can Cyberduck edit files on the server?**

Yes. Open a remote file and it downloads to a temporary location in your chosen editor; saving uploads the changes back automatically. It works with VS Code, Notepad++, and most other editors.

**Is Cyberduck safe for passwords and cloud accounts?**

Credentials are stored in the Windows Credential Manager, transfers use each protocol's encryption (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS), and Cryptomator vaults add client-side encryption. Download Cyberduck only from cyberduck.io or the official stores — lookalike sites are a known problem.

**Does Cyberduck support Amazon S3?**

Yes, S3 is a first-class citizen: browse buckets, manage objects and permissions, generate pre-signed URLs, and connect to S3-compatible storage like MinIO or Wasabi using profiles or custom endpoints.
