What Hacker News says
4 sourcesThe developers for Cyberduck have their source open on github (https://github.com/iterate-ch/cyberduck) but the app does ask for a donation whenever you close it. I've found this to be the most reliable and the ease of use is incredible for a layperson.
Only issue is that it's only available on Windows or OSX.
Hope that helps!
In Backblaze Product and Pricing UpdatesI've been discovering more and more high quality open source apps for Mac recently. My other favorites so far:

In Xbar: The BitBar reboot. Put anything in your macOS menu barI posted this further down the thread but may as well say it here too.
Cyberduck[1] was what I moved to after the FileZilla installer on Sourceforge forced me to wipe & reinstall Windows a few years back. It's available for MacOS and Windows, GPL3 licensed[2] and worked great for me at the time. I've since moved to Linux so I haven't been able to play around with any of the newer features/versions but it would be the first thing I tried if I switched back today. Definitely recommend taking a look.

In Filezilla installer is suspicious again
