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.

MAC724  I bought a copy and I'm very happy with this app. It does exactly what it says it will do.

KKNOPP  I don't get this "The interface is dated"

What more can a FTP client do? You make it as EASY as possible, while still having all the features an FTP client should. That is what transmit it.

If something isn't broke, why should the coder waste his time on it when he could be making it a better application (Which would be hard to do at this point)

There is no reason, and I mean NO REASON to change a program's GUI just to be changing it.

You'll piss off a lot of people that BOUGHT it for it's ease of use GUI.

I suggest everyone read the Apple Human Interface Guidelines and you'll understand why Transmit is already a work of art.

KEITHWS  Fastest SFTP client I've used and well worth the cost. Excellent performance and rock solid. Unfortunately, the interface is becoming a bit dated, so I only gave it four stars, but it's still the best FTP application in my opinion.

MR.ASH  Transmit gives you a very nice GUI and iss very easy in use. However data transfer is very slow and unstable. I've tried to copy 250 GB of date to my NAS and i got only a max. 5 MB/s transfer speed. On top of that Transmit always got files witch could not be transferred and terminated the connection completly giving you no feedback what has been already copied and what not. Not worth it's money at all.

I've tried the same thing using FileZila and it works like a charm. Of course there is still data witch can't be transferred but FileZila doesn't quit the connection and continues copying the other files moving the not copied files to a seperate window. GUI is not very nice but compared to Transmit it works.

ASHMADUX  Holy heck, i was just thinking the same thing. I love transmit- it just works and it works well. but I'll be damned if i didnt say that it looks pretty old hat..many of us content creators liek a nice looking AND functional piece of software, so how about it panic, how about a nice leopard-over for everyone's fave

?

PLEASE update the interface, pretty please?

KKNOPP  Why? It goes along with HIG that Apple set foward. There is nothing wrong with the GUI.

GUIs are not, I repeat NOT supposed to distract from the main content. Transmit's GUI doesn't do this, AND is very very workable.

There is no reason to change the GUI of something just to be doing it. Don't fix something that isn't broke.

I for one would trash Transmit if it got some lame GUI makeover that added nothing to ease of use.

Read the Apple HIG sometime

MOEP  Still my favourite File Transfer Client although updates are sparse ever since Coda was released.

Panic might already be working on 4.0 though, who knows!

DARYLF2  Transmit is utterly reliable. I have a fairly extensive automated (using shell scripts, AppleScript, and Automator) backups that upload archives to .Mac, an SFTP account, and an Amazon S3 account, and Transmit always works flawlessly.
