It's momentarily only available for Leopard. Latest available version for Tiger was 3.6.x
I have managed to compile the 3.7.0.1 on Tiger, but didn't manage to get back with the project owner to get it publicly available. I'll have a go at 3.8.0.1 in the coming days.
Cyberduck is more pretty, but is becoming more and more unreliable.
After the last Cyberduck update I have to re-input all my connection data, and the duck works even more unreliable.
So I switched to FileZilla, which is ugly - but works fine, which is most important!!
Butt ugly. The 'intuitive interface' bit in the description is a flat out lie. But it works like no other. It's fast and will connect to anything you can throw at it. If nothing else works, this will. It's got a great engine under the hood but it's a wonder it doesn't just drop out of the frame.
If there ever was an argument against cross-platform GUI toolkits, here it is. WxWidgets really doesn't fit well with Aqua. Trolltech's Qt Toolkit would have been a bit better, albeit it also stinks of that win32 look 'n feel.
With that said, Filezilla has a mature codebase, and surely is welcomed competition, against the likes of Cyberduck and commercial alternatives. It's got a face even its mother couldn't love, but it works, and it's free/libre (GPL). Going from Windows-only to cross-platform is always a winning move for eveyone.
i loved this feature packed, highly configurable ftp client on my windows box and i am very much looking forward to seeing it become more stable for mac. it is also the only free & open source ftp client with a multi-pane view [not just two] available on this platform. kudos to the filezilla devs!
from the FileZilla FAQ page (http://filezilla-project.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ):
"What is "FileZilla 3" seen on the changelog page?
Version 3 is a major redesign of the code base that was started in early 2004 and is still unfinished, but beta versions for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS X are available already. You can safely ignore it unless you are a brave user or a developer."

This is only for Leopard now, sadly...what's the last Tiger compatible version?

Wooh, U-G-L-Y!

I just downloaded it and it feels better than cyberduck but it is butt ugly. hopefully they make the user interface more mac-like.

Me too.
The first beta wasn't really different than a raw porting from Win but now it is going to be improved. :)
Oops, guess you've just got to know where to look. Wish I hadn't been sarcastic now.
