FTP woes

I’m trying to create a procedure to upload a small text file to an ftp
site.  I accomplished this in Delphi on my Windows machine using the
IdFTP component but I cannot find any way of doing the same thing with
Lazarus on the Mac.  I included the gist of what I did in Delphi; can
anyone help me with some pointers to get this same functionality on
the Mac?

IdFTP1.Username:='MyUserName';    
IdFTP1.Password:='MyPassword';
IdFTP1.Host:='ftp.MySite.com';
IdFTP1.Passive:=True;
IdFTP1.Connect;
try
  IdFTP1.Put('MyFile.txt', 'MyFile.txt');
except
   on E : Exception do
   begin
       Showmessage’Upload failed’);
   end;
end;

You could help to debug using

Code: [Select]ShowMessage('The Error message: ' + e.message);
in the exception block.

Can be a matter of not finding the file. You could try to use the
complete path to the file to be uploaded.

And, of course, Synapse use to be easier to use.

The issue isn’t really with an error popping up (the code sample is
greatly simplified).  The issue is that the IdFTP component isn’t
available on the Mac; I need to find a way to recreate the
functionality of that Windows/Delphi code in a Mac/Lazarus
environment.  Synapse, it seems, is for Windows systems.

No, it seems Synapse isn't just for Windows systems...
