Everything the job actually needs

Built specifically for Mac, not a cross-platform shell. It behaves like a Mac app because it is one.

🔌

SFTP, FTP and FTPS

One app for all three. Keys, passwords or two-factor codes - and servers behind a bastion host connect as easily as ones on the open internet.

↔️

Dual-pane transfers

Drag between local and remote, or straight in from Finder. Real speeds, real time remaining, and transfers that resume where they stopped when the connection drops.

📜

Live log tails

Right-click any remote file and follow it live in its own window. Filter to the lines you care about. When the file rotates, Wharf notices and keeps going.

✍️

Edit in place

Open a remote file in your usual editor. Every save goes straight back to the server, without downloading and re-uploading by hand.

👁️

Quick Look, remotely

Preview a file on the server without downloading it first - images, markdown, code, config.

🗂️

Sites, organised

Save every server you use, grouped into folders, and reconnect from the menu bar without opening the app.

Sync that tells you what it's about to do

Most sync tools ask you to trust them. Wharf shows you the plan and waits.

1

Compare

Point at a local folder and a remote one. Wharf works out what differs.

2

Review

See what uploads, what downloads, and every conflict with both sides' size and date.

3

Decide

Newest wins by default. Override any file, or all of them, in one go.

4

Or leave it running

Continuous sync keeps the pair in step until you switch it off.

Deleting files on one side can be mirrored to the other - but only if you ask for it. It's off by default, and Wharf shows you exactly which files would go before removing anything.

Know what went where

Every connection, transfer and deletion is recorded. Filter by site, narrow to just the things that changed data, and export to CSV when someone asks what went to production and when.

It talks to your servers and nowhere else

No accounts to create, no analytics and no advertising. Your credentials are kept in your Mac's Keychain - never in a plain text config file. The only other thing Wharf ever contacts is wharf-app.com, to check for updates if you bought it here.
