IMAGE_CTRL  Transmit is a reliable workhorse. I have been using it for years and have not once had an issue with the software. Other FTP clients i have used seemed bulky and non intuitive, so i was very happy when i learned about Transmit. Highly recommended.

TRIZTAN  I have signed up for MacUpdate for the sole purpose of informing fellow sufferers of Transmit that there is light at the end of the tunnel !! I've been using Transmit for months and crying with frustration as it hangs and times out on my FTP uploads. Sure it has loads of features and its dead easy to use, but I can help but it just doesnt work properly.

I have just discovered FileZilla and I can tell you folks - its FREE, it works and it just motors away without a single error. The transfer rate is way higher and it even has a wizard for checking your connection. Brilliant. Goodbye and good riddance to Transmit !!!

CAINER  Except that the UI is f-ing ugly as hell! Well, I guess it is free after all...

But for my money (and that's $5 cheaper than Transmit, btw) take a look at Yummy FTP. You get a Transmit-like UI *and* it's a rock solid performer. Never let me down so far!

TIDDLEY  Hey,

I am using Transmit on OS 10.4.11. I am experiencing many stalls and severed connections. I don't recall having this problem a year ago. I like the program but am thinking about switching to something else. Any suggestions?

STAR-AFFINITY  Many people find Yummy FTP to be great:

I've tried it a little and I like it too, even if I don't find its GUI to be the most beautiful.

DAN BRIGGS  Very usefull and rock solid. My prefered one. Better (interface, architecture and osx layers implementation) and faster than CaptainFTP, Yummy and Cyberduck. On some features the young Forklift is better. On synchro, Filezilla is better and faster than any other one. Transmit lacks the remote SSH copying from server to server and the remote compression. May be for v4 because i'm tired of using terminal for these things. I did not test Fetch for a long time, did someone do ?

GRYPHONENT  Used to be the Best but has been abandoned by the developer who simply doesn’t seem to care anymore. The app hangs, doesn’t complete uploads, and is overall very unreliable when to updating your files on the server. I’ve reported those bugs over a year ago and even got a reply from Panic, promising to look into the matter... but alas, nothing has happened since. I reckon they are busy working on Coda, which seems to be the cashcow at the moment for the company. I’ve switched to Forklift now.

DANA SUTTON  There was a time when I used Transmit and thought it the best available FTP client. But I manage a large and complex Web site that changes content almost daily, and wanted a FTP client that could schedule automatic uploads like a piece of file synchronization software. I wrote to the developer suggesting he add this feature. Next to no interest, he made it clear that this just wasn't on his agenda. Along comes Yummy, a very similar-looking app. in the same price range, but with more features, including scheduled synchronization. I liked it, but didn't like the primitive logging/notification system it had at the time. So I contacted its author, and the next build was rewritten to be Growl-friendly, which took care of that problem. I had some other problems with the implementation of scheduling and the developer was very eager to work with me to iron them out. And that's the difference, folks. A developer who is willing to listen to users, give them what they ask for, and work with them to improve his product pretty soon comes up with better software. Yummy is better than Transmit, and is getting more so all the time for precisely this reason.

ANONYMOUS  With this version of Transmit you could setup an Automator workflow that would synchronize your website on specified schedule. To do this, configure the workflow in Automator (Transmit includes a synchronize Automator action.) and then save it as a plugin for iCal. Once you've saved the workflow you can have it run on the schedule you configure in iCal. Transmit can work on a schedule, you just have to use the functionality that's provided (in this case Automator/Applescript) and configure it to do so. The developers probably didn't add scheduling becuase you can already do that with Transmit's Applecript functionality.
