DMG Canvas

This trial utility simplifies creating and managing distributable package images for both occasional users and developers. It lets you add files and folders quickly, apply and edit visual templates for a polished, branded layout, and offers an approachable interface alongside advanced options such as compression and layout customization. Use it to bundle applications, documentation, assets, or multiple binaries into a single distributable package, or to produce consistent, branded releases for testers or end users.

Yummy FTP

Yummy FTP was a file-transfer application noted for speed and automation, letting users move files between remote servers and local machines and bundling secure transfer protocols (SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV over HTTPS) along with workflow features like bookmark management, customizable layouts, an integrated text editor, connection aliases, file/folder filters, bandwidth throttling, scheduled transfers and synchronization, and automatic resume/recovery. Development has ceased, so no updates, fixes, or security patches are available; using legacy copies can be unsafe and newly discovered bugs or protocol changes won’t be addressed, making it risky for production. Consider a maintained alternative such as FileZilla, which is actively developed, supports the same secure protocols, and provides a safer, up-to-date option.
