Description
Still using FTP? Truck hauls data 30x faster thanks to its modern rsync engine (included) which compresses, de-duplicates and encrypts – giving significantly higher performance and security, right from the first transfer. Setup takes 3 clicks (no command line), then just drag-and-drop to transfer. Unlock the performance of rsync with the simplicity of Truck.
– Upload and download via rsync by simply dragging-and-dropping. No command-line interaction required.
– Browse, rename, copy, move and delete remote files very quickly and easily.
– Works over a securely encrypted SSH tunnel (included; no setup required).
– Includes the latest rsync 3.1.3 – the same algorithm found at the heart of Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, SkyDrive, OwnDrive, etc.
– Connects to any remote machine.
– Checkboxes to quickly enable rsync’s most powerful features – such as backups/version-controlling, bandwidth-management, retention of partial transfers, etc.
– Push-update the remote system's version of rsync (includes precompiled binaries to suit a variety of remote machines).
– Advanced GUI controls to selectively tune over 125 other rsync options. Even application-defined defaults can be overridden for a near-command-line level of control.
– Autocompletion and inline documentation provided for each option.
– Specify when the option applies (e.g. when uploading/downloading/both).
– Enable ‘scavenging’: a preference to boost transfers by systematically employing rsync’s –copy-dest option; essentially reusing data from existing files in recently-visited directories. Fuzzy matching means that even files that are non-identical can be used as a basis for boosting.
– Filter rules to include/exclude items based on text matching (or advanced pattern matching).
– Toggle visibility of hidden files.
– Specify ‘initial paths’ – for connecting straight into the given directory.
– Fine tune custom preferences for each direction (upload/download) for each server.
– Save multiple Favourites and work with multiple servers in multiple windows.
– Bonjour browsing to easily connect to servers found nearby.
– Use your SSH RSA private key instead of a password to connect to AWS, Google Cloud, etc.
– An ‘Open Terminal Here’ action to quickly jump into an SSH session in Terminal.app – pre-authenticated and ready in the right directory.
– Detailed operation logging.
– Filter any view of files and use the keyboard to navigate.
Benchmarks:
18x faster – uploading a new installation of WordPress.
30x faster – downloading a used instance of WordPress.
12x faster – sending an app to another computer in the office.
No data was pre-existing at the destination, these were all first-time transfers – all gains are thanks to rsync’s compression and de-duplication.
Comparisons were made versus the fastest FTP and SFTP apps for Mac, and native SMB sharing.

Ratings and Reviews
A little too opionated
I currently backup to a NAS using rsync from the command line. I wanted an app that could run an Rsync job on a schedule. This is not that tool. First it does not accept my perfectly valid RSA key file. Second, it wants to connect using SFTP and does not appear to have the option of rsync over SSH.
