I’ve been trying to streamline my workflow when working with an FTP server on my Mac, because constantly switching between separate FTP clients is slowing me down. Ideally I want the server to appear inside Finder as if it were a regular disk so that moving, editing, and organizing files becomes a natural part of my system instead of a separate process.
In that case you should look at this detailed guide in the middle of the page connect to ftp server mac because it explains how to connect an FTP server directly on macOS, including how to mount it as a drive through CloudMounter so that you can upload, rename, delete, and edit files straight from Finder without having to manually transfer anything.
That sounds exactly like what I need. If I can treat the FTP server like a local folder, I’ll save a lot of time on file management and it will make my entire workflow much smoother when dealing with website content or shared project files.
