FTP client

Does anybody have a working FTP client made via rev and developed under a Mac OS X environment? Not that I want to scavenge off of your work, it's just that I've always (and probably forever) developed under Windows.. I would like to examine how the interface layouting or maybe even the coding differs between the two operating systems... Thanks for those who'd share their work...

FTP is FTP. What platform differences would you expect to find with it?

What I meant was the interface of the application. AFAIK, Windows programs tend to have a different "look" so to say on their layout. E.g. Windows programs commonly have one big window that contains smaller windows whereas OS X apps would commonly have separated floating windows. Take revolution and realbasic as example, revolution, being based in the mac doesn't have one big master window unlike realbasic.. That's what I meant with my post above... Sorry about my confusing statement....

Ah, yes. That's not so much about FTP as it is about cross-platform UI design in general.
As for RealBASIC, it seems a majority of its users come from a Mac background, similar to the Rev community, so the opportunities and challenges are very similar among both groups of developers.
What did you mean by "one big master window"?
