Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well.
I'm currently searching for an SFTP client that is fully compatible with VoiceOver on macOS. Accessibility is my top priority, and I would deeply appreciate any recommendations from those with hands-on experience using such apps.
If the app is paid, that is absolutely fine — I’m primarily focused on finding a solution that offers a smooth, accessible experience with proper labeling and navigation support for screen reader users.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Warm regards,
Abdulaziz

Maybe try MacFuse?
MacFuse is not an sftp client itself, what it does is make available a library that people can use to extend filesystem support on macOS without having to write kernel extensions, and sshfs is one of the supported filesystems, making it possible to use it from Finder, Disk Utility, as well as the
mountanddiskutilcommand-line tools. I've never used it myself, but have been aware of the Fuse project for Linux for many years, and also remember former coworkers using it to access NTFS Windows partitions at least as far back as 2010. It's also available on MacPorts.Transmit is accessible.
I have heard from other people that transmit is fully accessible, and works really well. The app is paid, and I believe it is about $35
Cyberduck
Give Cyberduck a shot. Its free, but you've also got the option of paying for it $25 if you want to support the dev, though note that the payed version is exactly like the free version, as your only paying if you want to support not to unlock new features etc.

I'd personally use ssh or cli if possible but maybe your use case is different. What I want to know from others is why do we need such clients if as far as I know both finder and also windows explorer? offer the possibility to connect to a remote directory or something? Is it just not the same thing at all? Like... 10 years ago I'd use filezilla on windows for ftp before discovering the joy (and ego) of linux tools...
