SSH client for Mac?

I want an App for Mac OS X 10.5 to connect to my site using ssh. The app must be free and have some sort of instructions to get me started.

EDIT:

I just needed to take care of something on my website via SSH. CyberDuck worked.

1Given the first two answers that refer to file transfers rather than plain SSH access (which is included in OS X; just type ssh in Terminal): please explain what you need? – Arjan – 2010-01-07T09:30:22.137

so actually you want a 'scp' client and not interactivity? – akira – 2010-01-07T10:57:59.027

@edit2 statement: yah, but now the question reflects correctly what you accepted as an answer. 'take care of something with ssh' is an open field. – akira – 2010-01-08T08:20:04.723

Try using Cyberduck, a free, open-source app. Here are the supported protocols:

FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTP/TLS (FTP secured over SSL/TLS), SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer), WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud Files.

1Cyberduck costs money when downloaded from the Mac App Store. It's still freely downloadable from the website though, and only shows a message in the title bar if you don't have a "donation key". Other than that, it's full-featured, unlimited, and doesn't nag. The source code is also available, if you want to change or remove this reminder. – Daniel Beck – 2012-08-30T17:11:14.087

Transmit (Panic software) has that functionality.

1but it's not free – Mark R Friedman – 2010-01-07T13:28:28.160

Another great one I recommend (Open Source) is FileZilla

You can use Cyberduck.

You can use Macfusion, but it's not been updated for a while.

Any hints on why I got a downvote? – Loïc Wolff – 2010-01-07T09:52:24.777
