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? (Version 3.6.8) | |

STAR-AFFINITY Many people find Yummy FTP to be great: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15998/yummy-ftp I've tried it a little and I like it too, even if I don't find its GUI to be the most beautiful. (Version 3.6.9) | |

DANA SUTTON I probably have made this same point a long time ago, but since time has passed and we've seen new versions, I think it's worth repeating now. If you are managing a large and complex Web site on a remote server and are making frequent changes in many of your files, it is an absolute necessity that your FTP client has a scheduling feature that permits periodic automated uploads in the background or when your computer is unattended -- I perform one as frequently as every four hours -- and a FTP client that requires you to make manual upgrades is as useless than a piece of backup software that requires you do the same. In other words, for a Website manager, Transmit is of no use at all. I wish that the developers of this otherwise great product would get this through their thick skulls, they have no ability to understand the needs of site managers. This is serious stuff, guys -- it's the difference between a product aimed at professionals and one only useful for casual users and joy-poppers. (Version 3.6.8) | |

FATFREDDYSCAT Perhaps they will eventually get it through their "thick skulls" and add the feature you so desperately wish for. But for now, you can just create an Automator workflow to upload your files, and have that workflow run triggered to run as you wish. One way (though by no means the only way) would be to save it as a plugin, and iCal to run that plugin whenever you wish. Or you can just stop whining and use some other product that has the features you need. For many of us, Transmit works just fine as it is. (Version 3.6.8) | |

GRYPHONENT Used to be the Best but has been abandoned by the developer who simply doesnt seem to care anymore. The app hangs, doesnt complete uploads, and is overall very unreliable when to updating your files on the server. Ive 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. Ive switched to Forklift now. (Version 3.6.7) | |

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 !!! (Version 3.6.7) | |

WILLBILL thank you for the info regarding filezilla. you're right. (Version 3.6.7) | |

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! (Version 3.6.7) | |

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 ? (Version 3.6.7) | |

FRODO_LIFE Transmit 3.6.7 comes up with this message Transmit 3.6.6 fixes two minor issues in 3.6.5, including a potential bug with .Mac Sync. This update is recommended for all users, and is free for Transmit 3 owners. To upgrade, download the new version and replace your existing copy with it. Would you like to download the new version?

FRODO_LIFE good FTP client if it would not delete your files. Transmit has the habit to first delete a folder on your server and then replaces it which made me lose all my shopping cart settings. Say you need to update your cart and replace the folder admin I delete the config.php file from my updated folder and then drag the folder which does not contain the config.php file on my server so what does transmit do it deletes the whole folder on my server and replaces it with my new one without the config.php file. Any other FTP client I have used like Captain, Yummy, Cyberduck will only replace the existing files but will not delete the whole folder first which also deletes your config file. So be very aware.

TEXINICK I can understand your frustration... the same thing happened to me. Upon further inspection though, when you upload a folder, you are given the option to Replace or Merge. Choosing Merge will do what you want. I just uploaded an update to Joomla, and even though I chose Merge, I was then asked for every file whether I wanted to Resume/Replace etc. I had selected Apply To All, and clicked Replace, and still I kept getting asked the same question for each file. So it WILL overwrite the changed files and retain the rest of the folder, but the problem with Transmit, for me, is that you are given too many prompts. You are in danger of hitting the return button, or mouse button, on an incorrect button just because you are going through the motions for each file. If I select "Apple To All', and then click the Replace button, I don't want to see that prompt again. (Version 3.6.7) | |

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. (Version 3.6.6) | |
