SwiftSCP

Move files between your Mac and any server. Your Mac on the left, the server on the right. Drag across and keep working while transfers run in the background.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store Get help

For macOS 15 or later. One-time purchase. No subscription.

Works with the servers you already use

One app for every kind of file server.

SFTP and SCP

Connect to Linux, BSD and macOS servers over SSH. If a server doesn't offer SFTP, SwiftSCP switches to SCP on the same connection.

FTP and FTPS

Plain FTP, explicit TLS and implicit TLS. Works with vsftpd, ProFTPD, FileZilla Server and most hosting providers.

WebDAV

Over HTTP or HTTPS, including Nextcloud.

Amazon S3

AWS and S3-compatible storage such as MinIO, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2 and Backblaze B2. Large files upload in parts.

Built for people who manage servers

Fast to use, careful with your files.

Two-pane Commander

Local and remote side by side. Sort, filter with wildcards, and use the classic keys: F5 copy, F6 move, F7 new folder, F8 delete.

Two-step sign-in

Servers that ask for a password and then a code just work. SwiftSCP fills in your saved password and asks only for the code.

Keys and the Keychain

OpenSSH, PEM and PuTTY keys with Ed25519, ECDSA and RSA. Passwords are stored in the macOS Keychain.

Background queue

Progress, speed and time left for every transfer. Pause, cancel, retry and resume.

Edit on the server

Double-click a remote file to open it in your editor. Each save goes straight back to the server.

Site Manager

Keep your servers in folders with colors and notes. Import sites from a WinSCP.ini export or your SSH config file.

Safe by default

The things you don't have to think about.

Server keys checked

You confirm a server's key the first time. If it ever changes, you get a clear warning and Cancel is the default.

No broken files

Downloads are saved to a temporary file first and renamed when complete. A move never deletes a file that wasn't copied.

Your data stays yours

No account, no analytics, no tracking. SwiftSCP only talks to the servers you enter. Privacy policy

Keyboard first
