OSX wha? |
Having a native UNIX terminal and commands is amazing for those of us that work on servers. Single biggest reason I want to try it out at home. I want to run traceroute dammit, not tracert! Putty is ok, but its slow compared to a native terminal. |

True dat. My dlink dns-323 NAS started locking me out of files via windows at a UNIX level, so my man Schmucky used PUTTY to get at the file system at the unix command level. really cool--but yeah, slow. |

yeah i totally didnt know osx was unix-based. my *nix skills are extremely rusty... i guess they are almost non-existent.
i need a good ftp client for osx 10.5.6. and recommendations? i use flashfxp in windows so i would like something similar. |

I had no idea either until a couple of months ago, after some use.
A FTP client? No. I know Finder handles FTP natively like Explorer in windows. Otherwise I just use FireFTP with firefox. Its not amazing, but it gets the job done for when I'm testing FTP accounts.

OSX can read NTFS by default. |
