# Every server, side by side

One or two panes per tab, any place in each, and a key for every action. Every feature below runs live on its page, right in your browser.

## Panes and keys

Each pane shows This Mac or any server, so every copy is the same gesture: mark files, press F5.

- [Dual panes and tabs](https://anybucket.app/features/dual-panes): Each tab holds one or two panes, and each pane shows This Mac or any server. Swap them, zoom one, open the same folder in the other.
- [Server to server](https://anybucket.app/features/server-to-server): Copy or move files from one server to another in one step, with nothing to download and re-upload by hand. On one server, the copy runs on the server itself.
- [Keyboard-first](https://anybucket.app/features/keyboard): Commander keys for every action: F5 copies, F6 moves, Space marks, ⇥ switches panes, + marks by pattern. Every key is in the menus too.
- [⌘K palette](https://anybucket.app/features/command-palette): Press ⌘K and type a few letters to go to a bookmark, a recent folder or an open tab, or paste a server address to connect.
- [Workspaces](https://anybucket.app/features/workspaces): Save every tab as a workspace with ⌥⌘S and open them all again later. AnyBucket can bring back your last session when it starts.

## Servers

SFTP, FTP, FTPS, Amazon S3 and S3-compatible stores, and WebDAV, all in the same window.

- [SFTP](https://anybucket.app/features/sftp): A native SFTP client for Mac that uses your own ~/.ssh keys, agent and config, jump hosts included, and checks host keys like Terminal.
- [FTP and FTPS](https://anybucket.app/features/ftp-ftps): An FTP and FTPS client for Mac with passive mode, explicit TLS and self-signed certificates you trust once per bookmark.
- [Amazon S3 and compatible](https://anybucket.app/features/s3): An S3 client for Mac for Amazon S3 and S3-compatible stores: Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Storage and MinIO.
- [WebDAV](https://anybucket.app/features/webdav): A WebDAV client for Mac over HTTP and HTTPS, with Basic and Digest authentication and copies and moves that run on the server.
- [Bookmarks](https://anybucket.app/features/bookmarks): Save every server once and open it from the start page, the pane's source menu or ⌘K. Passwords stay in your keychain.

## Transfers

Copies that retry, resume after a relaunch and ask before they overwrite anything.

- [Transfer queue](https://anybucket.app/features/transfer-queue): Transient failures retry on a fresh connection, the queue resumes after you relaunch, and checksums are verified where the protocol allows.
- [Conflicts](https://anybucket.app/features/conflicts): When a file is already there, choose: replace, replace if newer, keep both, skip or resume, for one file or with apply to all.
- [Compare & Sync](https://anybucket.app/features/compare-sync): Compare the two panes row by row, then mirror either way or sync both ways, with an action on each row you can change before anything moves.

## On your Mac

A menu bar companion, notifications, Quick Look and drag and drop with Finder.

- [Menu bar](https://anybucket.app/features/menu-bar): Active transfers with progress, speed and time left, connected servers, open tabs and recent places, in the menu bar.
- [Notifications](https://anybucket.app/features/notifications): Get told when a batch finishes, a transfer fails, a connection is lost or a sync is done. Turn each kind on or off.
- [Finder-like](https://anybucket.app/features/finder-integration): Quick Look any file on any server, edit it in any app and upload on save, drag in and out of Finder, and find nearby servers with Bonjour.
