SFTP done at the speed of thought.
A fast, keyboard-friendly SFTP & FTP client for macOS.
Dual-pane. Unlimited tabs. Resumable. Free.
Version 1.1.0 · macOS 10.13+ · Unsigned build — right-click ▸ Open on first launch.
Built to get out of your way.
Dual-pane, always
Local on the left, remote on the right. F5 / F6 to move files. Just like the classic clients you already know.
Unlimited remote tabs
Open as many servers as you want in parallel. Right-click any file → Copy to <other tab> — Zyp bridges the transfer for you.
Smart resume
Interrupted a 4GB upload? Zyp picks up from the last byte on both SFTP (offset streams) and FTP (REST / APPE).
Edit remote files
Right-click → Edit externally…. Opens in your system editor, auto-uploads on every save.
Bookmarks & search
Star any local or remote folder for one-click jumps. Recursive name search, capped so it stays snappy on huge trees.
Compare & sync
Diff a local folder against a remote one. Filter by status, cherry-pick, and push either way.
Archive transfers
Download a whole tree as one .zip / .tgz — packed on the server. Upload & extract in one step.
Queue controls
Pause, resume, prioritize, retry-failed. Every progress bar tells you how many bytes are left and how fast.
Keyboard-first
Everything runs from the keyboard. Space to preview, / to filter, ⌘F to search, arrow-keys to move.
Download Zyp
Native Electron build. macOS only for now. Windows & Linux coming.
