Hi!

I'd like to present you Steed, which started its public beta 2 weeks ago. I'm one of the developers of the application, and we've been working hard for months on this project.

As the title says, Steed is an FTP, SFTP, Azure and S3 client, it allows you to browse and transfer files from each of these "protocols".

We though windows needed an file transfer client, that was visually appealing, easy to use, and up to date.

We know there is a lot of other FTP client on the market, but we though this one would bring something new to the Windows application ecosystem.

You can find it at : www.frenchfrysoftware.com/steed,

It has been build for Windows 7, but also support XP, and Vista. It might also work on Windows 8, even if it is not officially supported for now.

Keep in mind that this is a beta.

You can provide us feedback on our support page, or you can contact us via twitter.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

From the download to installing and using it, Steed looks really slick and already has a lot of polish. I'll get some good use out of this and should have some feedback for you over the next week or so.

Just some minor feedback meanwhile, middle-clicking tabs should close them and tabs could do with a context-menu, maybe with "Duplicate", "Close" and even "Reload", "Reopen closed tab" (similar to Chrome and Firefox).

@Antraxek yes this is something planned. We do not have ETA for this feature. But it is in our todo list.

@nik louch Because it is not a copy? I mean, as I said, it inspired us. When we started to look at other ftp client on the windows plateform we tried to took the best of them, then we turned on other plateform to see what have been done, and sure Panic's Transmit is one master piece of software. So that's right it inspired us. But it would have been a lot harder to copy them than to build our own software and take good ideas when they can be applied to Windows users.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
