Where is a good place for Mac shareware?

I’m a new Mac owner and was wondering where the best place would be to download shareware? I need a good html editor and FTP client. Thanks.

http://www.versiontracker.com and http://www.macupdate.com are good websites for finding a variety of applications for Mac OS X. The one thing I like about both sites is that you can filter your search results by licence type. For example, you can choose to only view a list of freeware, shareware or commercial software.

FTP Client
If you’re looking for a good ftp client, "Transmit" is the way to. In my opinion, it’s the best ftp client available on OS X and no Mac user should be without it. Transmit is a shareware application and costs $29.95 – a small price to pay for a wonderful product.

HTML Editor
BBEdit is a professional HTML and Text Editor packed with great features. It’s a favourite among web developers and has won various awards. The only downside is the price tag. A good freeware alternative is an application called Taco HTML Edit.

  2. Apple has tons of Mac OS X downloads under OS X on it’s website. There’s a lot of freeware and shareware.

    Transmit is a nice FTP client.

    For basic html, I use either Mozill’s builtin html editor Composer, or u can d/l Nvu. THey’re both free.
