Posted a new Comment on Man, I totally get where you're coming from with the clunky Finder experience—I've wasted way too many afternoons waiting for directories to load. These days I lean more toward mounting remote stuff right into Finder like a local drive, it just saves so much hassle for daily workflows. For straight ftp for mac , I've found CloudMounter pretty handy in my own setup; it lets you connect to FTP (or SFTP) servers and treat them almost like another hard drive volume. No constant app-switching, and I like that it handles multiple connections without complaining. Still grab the occasional legacy file that way, though honestly most of my transfers have shifted to encrypted options or cloud services. It's not perfect—sometimes there's a tiny lag on big uploads—but overall it's made dealing with those older protocols less painful for me. :

"Funny how protocols hang around longer than you'd expect. Even with all the push toward secure alternatives and cloud-native tools, you still run into..."
