Technical Architecture

  • Core Framework: SwiftUI (macOS) or Qt (Linux)
  • Core Language: Swift (macOS) or C++ (Linux)
  • Database: SQLite (for local storage and caching)
  • API Services:
    • SFTP: uses libssh2 for secure file transfers
    • WebDAV: leverages the Apple WebDAV framework

Dependencies

  • Libraries:
    • OpenSSL 1.1.1k or later for encryption and secure communication
    • SQLite 3.x or later for storage and caching

Performance Considerations

  • Cyberduck prioritizes resource efficiency, but CPU and memory usage may increase when handling large file transfers or multiple connections.
  • To optimize performance, regularly clean up your ~/.cyberduck/ directory to remove cache files.

Warning: Avoid overusing the SFTP client for large-scale file transfers, as this can lead to performance issues and increased resource consumption.
