I've been using Cyberduck recently and really like it.

Cyberduck +1. It's dead simple, does nothing you don't expect, and everything you do. – atroon Dec 28 '09 at 13:18

I've been using Transmit for the past few years, and I'm very happy with it.

Cyberduck also seems interesting, and it's free and open source. You might want to give it a try.

FileZilla, as with most multi-platform software, is very un-mac-like.

Transmit is definitely the best, but it's not free of course. – Georg Schölly Dec 27 '09 at 17:09
Does Transmit support SSH keys? The regular software does not appear to. – tadman Jan 21 '11 at 18:40
@tadman: yes, it does. – Can Berk Güder Jan 22 '11 at 14:02

I am fond of filezilla. It works consistently on most platforms

I recommend Cyberduck.

It is free, cocoa-based, well integrated with the system (Quick Look, Keychain, Bonjour, Spotlight, system wide protocol handler, Growl).

Notice that it is called SFTP in the protocol list.

Cyberduck!

If you use an editor that supports it (such as mvim, BBEdit, etc), you can also transparently open and edit files on a remote host, with automatic synchronisation every time you save the file. Wonderful feature if you find yourself working remotely and feel the need for something a little more than a terminal based text editor.

I would recommand Fugu. It is pretty simple, straightforward, and does it job.

Cyberduck and Fugu are the tools I usually fire up when I don't use the console.
