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?  
(Version 3.6.8)

ICONZ113  dana, which client r u using right now?  
(Version 3.6.8)

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)

69NUMBER69  Transmit works fine here,without problems under Leopard 10.5.7  
(Version 3.6.7)

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.  
(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)

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?  
(Version 3.6.7)

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.  
(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)

MAC724  I bought a copy and I'm very happy with this app. It does exactly what it says it will do.   
(Version 3.6.6)

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.  
(Version 3.6.6)

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.  
(Version 3.6.6)

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?  
(Version 3.6.6)

WEBMOTIVA.COM  It needs a new interface.  
(Version 3.6.6)

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!  
(Version 3.6.5)

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.  
(Version 3.6.5)

STORMCHILD  Still the best.  
(Version 3.6.5)

BONKA  If you are using FTP transfers on a daily/weekly basis, this is the only way to go. It is by far the best FTP-client I have ever used on any platform.

For the non-frequent FTP-user I would recommend the free alternative Cyberduck, as 30$ might be a stretch for some.  
(Version 3.6.4)

DNELSON  This is the best FTP client for Mac. Nothing else comes close in interface, stability, features, or ease of use.

No need to look any further! It's all right here.  
(Version 3.6.4)

ZEPPO  Seriously having trouble in Leopard with version 3.6.3

Kernel Panic´s when uploading to server. Four panic´s in 24 hours.

Anyone else having this problem.

  
(Version 3.6.3)

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Last two versions of Transmit have gotten much faster on my MBP C2D. Nice.  
(Version 3.6.3)

FANTAMIX  Great stable FTP client.  
(Version 3.6.3)

AUDIOWIZARD  Anyone else having Transmit 3.6.2 crash ALOT while editing remote files in Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard?

I know it's a scary combo, but Transmit 3.5 + Dreamweaver CS3 + Leopard didn't seem to crash.  
(Version 3.6.2)

WAZZUPINMACLAND  Use it since os 9 and love it. it's really one of the best ftp clients, but it lacks still of several bugs. already sent them some reports and hope they'll fix it soon! Thanks anyway  
(Version 3.6.1)

ALJUK  Excellent. The best thing about it is the way that when you load up a favourite, the local directory is included as well as the remote directory (so no wasting time navigating to your local copy of your site). The sync function works perfectly too, as does SFTP.  
(Version 3.6)

ORION MK. V  v3.6 works perfectly. The best FTP client, bar none, on any platform!  
(Version 3.6)

BLAIR  Just wanted to say a *huge* "thank you" to the developers for fixing the various "linked folder navigation" bugs. I experienced every one of them, and they were... frustrating, to say the least.  
(Version 3.6)

FANTAMIX  Still ONE of the best FTP clients with droplets.

Recommended.  
(Version 3.6)

DARYLF2  Transmit is the best FTP client I've ever used, and now supports Amazon S3! Terrific!!  
(Version 3.6)

BUBBAMAC  Does not respond to support requests. I submitted a bug a year ago regarding the droplet's not obeying passwordless rsa key authentication via sftp. The favorite themselves work fine with passwordless sftp but when saving a favorite to a droplet it doesn't work.

Try it yourself and see:

Create a favorite with sftp as the protocol and do not set the password (you must configure ssh keys without passwords so that you can ssh to the client without passwords). Don't check prompt for password. Connect and verify that you can get in without a password, if not, you should follow these directions:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152

Then try again.

Now, after it works without a password, create a droplet from this favorite. Tell it to not prompt for password. When you drag something on the droplet, the username isn't populate and the transfer

fails. Even if you tell it to prompt for password (and you leave this blank), it fails. The only way around it is to configure the favorite with a saved password, and save the password in the droplet.

Everytime they release an update, I try the software again, but until this issue gets addressed, I will not buy it.   
(Version 3.6)

JRWHO  Awesome FTP client. Probably the best one out for the Mac!  
(Version 3.5.6)

JASS  I've use Transmit for 6 months. I only use the SFTP protocol. For just $25 it's much easier to use than

an sftp from the terminal or ssh tunneling + a server connection. It has all the features I need and use. You can pre-set file permissions on uploads, you can set it to ask you what to do if a file of the same name already exists, you can have multiple connections open, and it supports a tab-bar like Firefox/Safari for your connections. Perfect little tool!  
(Version 3.5.6)

M.U. MOORE  Well, even though this is the first time I've seen the developer rating the program "excellent" in the description --

it's an excellent ftp program!

I use it almost on a daily basis, and it's ease of use is really stunning - in particular when you started to deal with ftp on UNIX hosts on the command line!

Clear, uncluttered user interface, all the features you need, reasonable price.

Registered it, also bought the upgrade and never regretted it - especially when I think about the time Transmit has saved me.  
(Version 3.5.6)

J.AILEY  Transmit is the FTP app for me.

I have tried a multitude of FTP apps, and I always come back to Transmit. Of all the available, Transmit is the one with the features, organization and flexibility I need.

Transmit can handle FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, you name the type, Transmit can probably connect to it.

The main window is ingenious. If I want to view both local and remote files, I can do that. If I want drag and drop ease of just seeing remote files I can do that. Any setup I want, I can have. Preview drawer? Yep! A drawer for shortcuts to local and remote folders? Yep! Favorites? Yep! Transmit has it all.

Transmit gives you the ability to remote edit files using whatever app you want. Wanna edit an image on your Web server with Photoshop? Transmit will let you do it. Want to transfer a file from one FTP to another? Transmit will let you drag an drop files between server tabs. No need for multiple windows.

Speaking of server tabs, they are great! The only thing I wish I could do, (or at least I haven't figured out how to do yet) is to be able to set the default number of tabs, and the servers in them. I often connect to two servers at once, it would be nice if I could get them both to auto-connect when Transmit launches.

Droplets are AWESOME! Dock Send is awesome! Driving truck widgets are AWESOME! Transmit is AWESOME!

In the time I have been using Transmit, I have not had a problem with it. If I could not get it to connect, it was due to my own ignorance. It connects fast and easy. It down/uploads with drag and drop ease. Haven't had a crash. Haven't had a mangled file. I have had no problem whatsoever! It is almost a shame though...a problem would give me a reason to try out their support!

Transmit seems almost as if it is part of OSX itself. Make a Bonjour droplet to transfer files from one Mac on your network to another. Then, just drop the files on the droplet, don't hunt for connected servers.

Despite Transmit's awesomeness, there are a few things I wish it could do, though.

1. I wish it would watch a remote folder for changes, and notify of an upload.

2. I wish it had scheduling ability. It would be great to set it to upload, or synchronize while I was sleeping.

3. The previously mentioned tabs.

Despite this, Transmit is still THE FTP app for me. If you haven't tried it, give it a try.

One final thing... The dreaded price discussion. While I do not at all feel bad for paying $30 for Transmit. I do wish it were a bit cheaper. Some people may feel that dealing with some FTP inadequacies will be fine if it will save them a few bucks. But, I think if the price were lower, more people would see the greatness that is Transmit, and become devoted users.

Thank you Panic for making THE rear-rockin FTP client!  
(Version 3.5.6)

DAVID BEAMAN  AWESOME ALL AROUND!! great features and very easy to use as far as FTP goes. It is the best!  
(Version 3.5.6)

MINIMARC  great product that does its job.  
(Version 3.5.6)

GRYPHONENT  Transmit was great. Long ago. The latest versions have been buggy and support is truly unresponsive with updates coming in long stretches and not addressing the problems at hand. As has been mentioned in this forum before, Transmit interrupts long transfers and backups, reports all kind of errors, is unreliable in determining whether a file is newer on the local drive or on the server, and lacks features compared to other (newer) contender out there (YummyFTP for example). Propably Panic is banking on upgrade fees for version 4, but with a software that was buggy to start with I'm very reluctant to stay with Transmit or Panic for that matter. Transmit is not a cheap product... I'm disappointed.  
(Version 3.5.5)

ALAN  First of all, Transmit is the best FTP client I have ever used. I purchased it right after the first use.

Suggestion: can the next release feature something like 'separators' within folders? It's useful for us who hold loads and loads of files and would like to separate them into different categories (besides name-size-date view).

Nevertheless, Transmit is the best.

TIA  
(Version 3.5.5)

STARBRO  No "keep alive" options. Uploading a large file that takes longer than the server's timeout setting will stall the upload when it tries to complete. Sometimes it will re-connect and start again from the beginning. Considering FTP programs from 10 yrs ago could handle this scenario, it seems ludicrous that a modern app can't even do this correctly. Buyer beware.  
(Version 3.5.5)

NAHEL SAIED  It Stalls. It stops in the middle of long transfers and you have to start over and over again. E-mailed customer service and 2 weeks later got a reply instructing me to Check "Keep connection alive during long transfer" from Advanced preference. Did that and still does the same I have to try 3-4 times before a 20+ files go through. I paid for this software and I think I will go with another FTP software cause I can't put up with this any more.

Do not recommend at all if you are going to ftp files bigger than 10 MB  
(Version 3.5.5)

DAMINO  Simply the best.

Easy to use. I like the preview for pictures on the server. The tab navigation, favoris, french localisation, ... and so on !  
(Version 3.5.5)

SIXER ___2  Transmit is a great looking client. It has an OS X savvy uI. However, it is unreliable in a professional environment. It has a tendency to miscalculate paths, and the upload queue often stalls or becomes inoperable. A client that is a version 3.5.5 ought to be stable. Transmit, I regret to say, is not.  
(Version 3.5.5)

STATIQUE  I have been having the same problem. was wondering if you found a solution to this  
(Version 3.5.5)

DANA SUTTON  Good: WebDav support allows FTP uploads to .Macs. Vastly superior to Apple Backup.

Bad: Doesn't allow prescheduled uploads (as Yummy does) notification via Growl (like Yummy) or e-mail (like Chronosync).

So at the moment I use Transmit for .Mac and Yummy for automated uploads to my remote server. I'd really like one FTP client versatile enough to satisfy all my needs. Both Transmit and Yummy are great apps., but neither is quite great enough.  
(Version 3.5.5)

COOLFACTOR  Transmit has been my favorite FTP program of all that I've used on both Mac and Windows. I've found the developer's responsiveness to my emails to be hit'n'miss. One week, I'll get 3 or 4 replies, but then nothing for weeks. However, their commitment to excellence and periodic updates continues to impress me. My money has been well-spent, and I plan on upgrading to their next major release.  
(Version 3.5.5)

GLIOMA  This is a fine program. Support from the developer is abysmal, however. Emails go unanswered. I've had the same experience with Unison. I'll continue to use Transmit, but I'll probably not buy another program from this developer unless the response to customer requests for help improves significantly.  
(Version 3.5.4)

ORION MK. V  New 3.5.4 download works great on PPC. No problems so far with any sites uploading or downloading.   
(Version 3.5.4)

CABEL  Well, the briefly-posted earlier version of 3.5.4 won't launch on Intel machines -- so you'll know if you have it. :)

Otherwise, there were no other changes.

Still, downloading again is a good idea, just to be sure.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding while we fixed this. ProTip: Last minute, incredibly minor changes to your code can bring surprising results!  
(Version 3.5.4)

ALANR  If it was pulled and re-released it seems that the version number should change regardless of how minor the fix.

How will anyone know if they downloaded the "good" 3.5.4 or the "bad" 3.5.4 if they downloaded earlier?

I just downloaded again to be on the safe side.  
(Version 3.5.4)

RPPHOTO  I agree, just keeps getting better and better, easily one of my favorite Mac apps. This is one of the few apps I use every day, and the beauty, stability and ease of use make this my favorite; I own licenses to many others, and I've checked out most of the competition, but this is the one I always return to.  
(Version 3.5.4)

JUSTINNORMAN  Transmit X continues to get better with each new version. As a Web designer, this has been my main program for updating my Web sites for over a year now. It's stable, simple, and a joy to use.

I haven't tried many other (non-free) FTP applications, so I can't really compare this to much else. All I can say is that the features offered here have been worth the cost for me.

Since I have many Web sites to update, the fact that I can have an FTP bookmark correspond to a certan folder on my hard drive is great. That way, when I click on the name of a Web site, it pulls up that site in right-hand FTP frame, while simultaneously opening the corresponding folder on my hard driv in the left frame. It's then a matter of dragging and dropping the files from left to right, rather than hunting through a maze of folders to get the files I need, most of the time.

The Transmit window also works very well as a substitute for the Finder in many ways. I can rename files on my computer and drag them to different locations without having to leave the program. Unfortunately, if I click on a .fla file (Flash animation) it won't open the Flash application, so I have to go to the Finder to do that (which is not really that big of a deal). However, I can double-click any HTML or other text-based file and edit the text within Transmit.

While a customizable list of applications to use per file type (such as those included in some Web browsers) would be nice, Transmit has enough useful features to make it a reliable tool that I use almost every day.  
(Version 3.5.3)

CROP  Although I love this app, I really miss an other feature:

an "Open in web browser" button...

Each time I create a file on-the-fly in a deeply buried/private/secret folder on the server, I have to type its entire url in my browser to test it...

This would save me a lot of time.  
(Version 3.5.3)

ALAN  I've never encountered any problem. Transmit is simply the best.  
(Version 3.5.3)

X9  How about getting rid of the annoying -132 erros that shouldn't be happening, or the queue window that pops up every time a file transfers? Sorry, this is annoying me to no end. I've sat here for an hour trying to upload simple png files and I keep getting error -132 (and yes, there's more than enough disk space for these items.)...  
(Version 3.5.3)

CABEL  PROGRAMHAPPY: Transmit 3.5.3 should fix any issues you are encountering. Make sure to download the latest version -- we did a super-quick update on this one, totally our fault. :) Thanks for your feedback!  
(Version 3.5.3)

ALAN  What? Version 3.5.3 is out already?  
(Version 3.5.3)

ORION MK. V  Yeah skEdit added. New version works fine for me.  
(Version 3.5.2)

PROGRAMHAPPY  Transmit 3.5.2 is a complete mess on OS X 10.4.6. It inserts all these random folders that don't even exist in my hosting account. WTF? Also, none of my existing folders will open. When I try to open my legit folders, I get error messages like "Can't change directory to ?????: No such file or directory" and "Error -139: bad parameter given to library."

When I switch back to Transmit 3.5.1, it works fine. Please don't release unstable software that could potentially cause someone to accidentally wipe an entire Web site.   
(Version 3.5.2)

OSXFACTOR  Thanks for adding skEdit support (one of my many requests) guys! I'm a happy camper now!  
(Version 3.5.2)

3ABNPUB  This is an awesome app that just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work, Panic!  
(Version 3.5.2)

TTLCNTRLPRINT  Fantastic FTP software, great interface, and worth every penny/cent.

totalcontrolprint  
(Version 3.5.1)

AFD  yes thank you VERY much for fixing the bbedit remote file path issue  
(Version 3.5.1)

BOBWEINER  3.5.1 fixes the server timeout issue I had (see my previous comment below). Everything works the way it has in the past. Awesome!  
(Version 3.5.1)

ALANR  Version 3.5.1 seems to have addressed the issues another user and I had with 3.5.

• Response time when selecting files

ª Maintaining accurate path information when editing in BBEdit.

It's nice to know the developers listen to user concerns.  
(Version 3.5.1)

803REDMAN  Love it - slick and easy  
(Version 3.5.1)

TAINT  For some reason after updating to 3.5 every time I upload a large .zip file it seems to upload twice. I'll drag the file to the "Their stuff" side and it starts to transfer. it estimates a time until completion and then when it gets to be that time it uploads the file all over again. Pretty annoying when I am uploading a 400 MB file.  
(Version 3.5)

AFD  Im a HUGE transmit lover, however be forwarned if you upgrade to 3.5 and you are a bbedit user...

If you open up a server file for editing you will no longer see the remote file path in BBedit. You will be shown a temporary path on your local machine to a transmit cache directory. This makes it impossible to know what file you are working on, and if you open multiple index.php's etc in different directories on a site then youre pretty much out of luck.

I received an email from panic regarding the issue:

"Hi,

That is a result of a change in the way we handle external editing. We no longer rely on BBEdit to handle any of the "file has been edited" communication, and there is no way to really "fake" the old way we used to do it.

Overall, its better now the way it is, but there is that disadvantage particular to BBEdit.

Best,

Leslie

Panic "

I've also put in an email to bare bones and the developer who got back to me wasn't aware of this in the new transmit version as he hadn't upgraded yet...

It doesnt look good from panics end, and I don't have any plans of leaving bbedit thats for sure...  
(Version 3.5)

BOBWEINER  With the new 3.5 release I've noticed something odd happening (which never happened before in previous releases). Notably, if I've stayed logged into an FTP site for more than an hour, and attempt to copy a file from 'my stuff' to a folder in 'their stuff', I get an error. I have to then disconnect and reconnect, at which point said file copies over without any problems.

I've never had this problem before - it seems to be introduced with 3.5. Any suggestions on what I could do to fix this problem, assuming it's a setting issue?  
(Version 3.5)

ALANR  In Transmit 3.5 there is a very noticeable lag when selecting a file with the mouse. Folders can be selected and they'll be immediately highlighted. Not so with files, there's a long pause when nothing seems to happen.

This is negative performance when compared to the previous version 3.2.1  
(Version 3.5)

B82  Yo, why am not I permitted to give this application six stars? (Five for being the best and then the sixth for the integration with BBEdit) ;)  
(Version 3.5)

NAME  I am using it constantly.

I have only got a selection of

indispensable applications on

my hard drive, and this is one

of the best of them.

After searching 2 years, for

alternatives even free ones

with Java, I got the money

to finally decide for this

great software solution.

In todays world flexibility

and economic elegance are

the most important and this

is reached by Panic software.

As the web constantly increases

I can only recommend those

of you that are swimming with

the stream to buy this extraordinary

application.

As my rating suggests:

Features: 5 stars

Ease of use: 5 stars

Value: 5 stars

Stability: 5 stars

As I am a developer my self

of the software USE:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19885

I got a slight idea of how much

work stood behind.

So, thank you very much indeed !  
(Version 3.5)

DANA SUTTON  A very fine program. The only important thing Transmit lacks is an easy means of scheduling automated uploads (if you're managing a large remote site and change many files on a steady basis, that's a real blessing).  
(Version 3.5)

ORION MK. V  Love the new open/edit with filetype options, so I can finally edit different types of files on the server with the app of my choice. I've used it reliably for years and Transmit remains the best FTP/SFTP client -- I try out new ones, but they never work as well.  
(Version 3.5)

JERONYMUS  Can it get any better? Man I love this app!

Any1 tried the droplets yet? Its great!!!

Thanks Panic!  
(Version 3.5)

BILLY RAY VALENTINE  Nice interface, easy to use... Best FTP app there is.  
(Version 3.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  Tried Transmit, decided I didn't need it, and attempted to remove it. Unfortunately it leaves something behind in my .Mac Syncing (under preferences). Panic's tech support basically said it couldn't be removed, live with it! A clean install of Tiger didn't get rid of it! Must be hidden somewhere on .Mac. Very UN-Mac like.  
(Version 3.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  Faster than Fetch with a similar but better interface. Very well thought out and very intuitive. Well worth the shareware fee.  
(Version 3.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  I like Transmit-- but not enough to register it.

If they gave us the option for a 'one-pane' interface, that is, just 'their stuff', well, it'd be perfect for me. I prefer to navigate my local files with this wonderful thing called the 'Finder'. Perhaps you've heard of it?  
(Version 3.2.1)

PETER K.  .

Very good FTP client.

But it does not display the "Goodbye" message of the FTP server in the "Transcript", when I click the "Disconnect" button...

:-)  
(Version 3.2.1)

FLARCH  Still the top of the heap!  
(Version 3.2.1)

BRUCE WU  This is the best ftp client on Mac OS X. Now with Trad. Chinese language pack, it's even greater. Thanks a lot, developers and localizers! :D  
(Version 3.2.1)

TOURNESOL  This update does not show up in the app itself even when doing a manual check :(  
(Version 3.2.1)

PATRICK SCHWITTER  Was the best ftp client...and now it is in french..youpeee.

Thanks for the good work...

Patrick  
(Version 3.2.1)

MARIO  Best FTP client for Mac OS X!  
(Version 3.2)

MACMEND  hmmm, I don't think I like this anymore, it tends to choke on certain ftping, I have started to use fireftp extension to firefox....which is free  
(Version 3.2)

DANA SUTTON  Aw come on, setting this kind of scheduling up via iCal sounds like a real Rube Goldberg lashup that would allow the software author to dodge doing his job by placing waaay too much responsiblity on the individual user. Surely it isn't unrealistic to expect that a scheduling routine with a FTP client can and should be as easy to set up as one for a file synchronizer. Of course I expect Apple scripts are working in the background in both kinds of app., but the question is what kind of front end the programmer chooses to set up for their creation.  
(Version 3.2)

ANONYMOUS  Please review Yummy on its page and quit wasting the time of people who don't want to read a review of Yummy.

Thanks.  
(Version 3.2)

ANONYMOUS  .Mac syncing of Favorites is what I've been waiting for! It works beautifully. Here's hoping other developers offer similar functionality.   
(Version 3.2)

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.

SCHMELDING  Well, here's what I've found so far about the connection troubles:

I wasn't able to connect using favorites, but I could connect manually.

Here's how to fix the problem:

You'll need to edit each of your favorites. Chances are "Use passive mode for data transfers" is unchecked. Try checking that option and saving your favorite. Reconnect. That has worked for me.

It seems these favorite options were not remembered while upgrading.

BJOEHY  It won't connect to any of my favorite sites from the Favorites pane, but it connects smooth the default favorite, set in Preferences, despite of the fact the same favorite doesn't work from the Favorites pane.. Strange.

In addition, when I turn Tiger firewall off, it connects to all the favorites except one even in the Favorites pane..

So that it looks like some mixed issue of an combination 10.4 and Transmit.

LONGTIME FAN  Best FTP software going.

(Version 3.0.2)

CABEL SASSER  To clarify some misconceptions:

- Transmit checks once a week to see if a new version of Transmit is available.

- Absolutely no personal information is sent, there are never any serial number checks. Only the version number is sent, and nothing else.

- We've added an option to Transmit's preferences to disable this check if you don't want it. (You may need to re-download Transmit to get it.) Just turn this check off -- we won't mind.

That's it.

Transmit does not secretly "phone home" to our servers with any personal info at any time. Period. Drop us an e-mail if you have any other questions, otherwise thanks for using Transmit 3!

Best,

No $$$ for these folks.  
(Version 3.0.1)

TERA PATRICKS - MAC360.COM  I've used Transmit almost forever. :-0 This is a great Mac application. Yes, FTP on the Mac is free but CLI is for a different class of Mac user. For the rest of us we want point and click simplicity, and loads of features as we get better at implementing new items. There are few Mac apps that do the job as well as Transmit. Not only do I use it to move files back and forth, but Transmit is great at simple editing of remote PHP and config files and is the only application I have that makes it easy to change Unix permissions (777, etc.) in a way that's easy to understand. The new features in 3.x are worthy and evolutionary, not revolutionary (hey, it's FTP). This app is stable, dependable, and has never let me down except when used on HostSave accounts (for some reason only Windows FTP apps worked well). Great application. Keep up the good work, Panic.  
(Version 3.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  Only an aesthetic update (why 3?)

If you are thinking in serious down/up-loads go to terminal for _wget_

You should have preferences based in each server: some servers have limited the number of simultaneous connections, way of retrying, etc.

I would like this kind of overcharged interface over a more complete and robust ftp code.  
(Version 3.0)

BACON  Freakin' awesome. Column view, "Link Folder Navigation," and "DockSend" are all incredibly useful w/o turning the software into bloatware. Extreme kudos to the guys at Panic for waiting so long to update Transmit, rather than putting out point-releases every few weeks. Well thought-out, well tested, and simply the best.

I'm consistently impressed and amazed no only with Panic's software, but also with their customer service.

Thanks guys.  
(Version 3.0)

BEN BOROFKA  Transmit is the best FTP client for OS X and one of the best pieces of software ever written for the best OS in the world. I have been using Transmit forever it seems, and 3.0 makes a slew of logical advances in sleek, Panic fashion. These guys really know how to make quality products with style. Just look at the food reviews and T-shirts for sale on their website, I think I'll be buying one!

Panic is a big inspiration for all Mac users.  
(Version 3.0)

JUSTIN NORMAN  Fast loading, quick FTP program that has great features. I've been using it since version 2.6.2, and it's been great for updaing the Web sites I work on. It's got a great interface, lots of functionality, and is very stable.

The only thing that I wish they would have included in this version is the ability to select your own external editor (they limit your choices to a list). It would also be nice to double-click Flash files and Quicktime movies in "My Stuff" and have them open in their respective programs, rather than coming up with a blank window.  
(Version 3.0)

BRANDON  This is such a gigantic step for FTP ease of use that it boggles my mind. After purchasing Transmit 2 some time ago, I honestly had a difficult time thinking of ways to improve the program. Panic is by far the most innovative thinkers in their genre.

Of course, the best user interface ideas are always the most simple ones. Column view is a must, but they have gone the extra mile in terms of spring-loaded folders. The sidebar, borrowed from the Finder, has already saved me minutes a day. Being a Web Developer, that is time I can use elsewhere. Tabs that not only work, but function in a drag-and-drop scenerio, pure genius.

In short, for roughly $18 this is the easiest decision I have had to make all year. Thanks to the wonderful crew at Panic for constantly amazing me. My money arrived the day it was released.  
(Version 3.0)

RAY  Another excellent product from the good people at Panic! I wish all software worked so well and looked so good.  
(Version 3.0)

MACMATH  Thank you again, Panic. I certainly find the new features compelling enough to warrant the upgrade price. I paid for it right away.

To those who are complaining about the price: I like things for free as much as the next guy, but you realize that you can't keep using future updates for something of this quality for free and be able to take it with you to your grave.

In case you haven't noticed, the old shareware model "pay for it once and all future updates are free" has been essentially dead for some time now. These days that only applies to minor applications that someone really built for themselves and which take little development time...they also stop being developed at some point after an OS update breaks them. That old shareware model does not work for significant applications like Transmit because:

1) Too many people are dishonest and pirate licenses;

and

2) It takes regular development to keep improving these applications so that they are still relevant (get new features important to new users) and still work with the next OS update. It takes money to feed the people who do that.

Note: LaunchBar, Graphic Converter, DragThing, etc. all wanted additional money with a recent upgrade.

I noticed that someone mentioned Captain FTP (it might have been at that other software update place). I went to look it over to see what they were talking about and chuckled when I saw the financial aspect of the ftp application they were using to argue against Transmit and its upgrade price. Captain FTP costs $25, but if you want to purchase 'price protection' for the next year, you can spend $34 and get the updates over the next year for free!!! Transmit 2 came out in October of 2002 and we did not get charged for anything up through Transmit 2.6.2, which came out over a year later. By-the-way, Captain FTP crashed the second time I started it, and was sluggish involving anything having to do with the GUI (no wonder...the download weighs in at 9 MB).   
(Version 3.0)

KLONDIKE KID - ALASKA  I too am a registered user of Tranx 2.0 and will be paying the upgrade price. 3.0 is just an order of magnitude better than its predecessor if that is possible. The sidebar and column view navigation speeds up major jumps through layers of folders. And calling up a file to edit from within the program is a real time saver and convenience And oh, the nicest feature?...Link Folder Navigation!!! The developers just cut my navigation time in HALF with that capability. But that feature seems a bit unstable with occasional "disconnects" from the linking but its not a problem going back up to the menu and re-establishing the link again.

Now, for my Wish List I passed on to them...recognition of Color Labeling for files, folders, and icons to speed up column view navigation an additional notch on the speedometer.

Thanks for a product that continues to get better on each version. Running G5 Dual with 10.3.7 with no problems. Seems a bit faster on uploading and session closing too!  
(Version 3.0)

CHRIS  I bought a license to Transmit at v.2 Saw the update today and upgraded immediately. This is without a doubt THE best FTP app for the mac ever. Just beats the pants off fetch...

Tabs & dock transfer are genius, as well as the sidebar!!! Thanks Panic!!!

CHRISTOPHER HILLER  New features are k-rad and elite. Good work!  
(Version 3.0)

DARREN  Without a doubt, Transmit 3 is the best Mac FTP app out there. Bought it back at v.2, upgraded today to 3. Had to rewrite a few AppleScripts (took a while to figure out the new syntax, sample scripts should have more ... well, samples for adding tabs and such).

Once I got my scripts fixed up, they were noticibly smaller and more logical. Nice job Panic.

Was enamored with the tab options of some of the more expensive Windows FTP apps, but no longer. Transmit is the cat's meow! And tabs!! Awesome! Scripted tabs!!

Well done guys n' gals.  
(Version 3.0)

BOBWEINER  tabbed panes, column view navigation, and easy access to favorite folders - these features alone make the upgrade worthwhile. I use Transmit on a regular basis. It is the BEST MacOS X FTP program out there - it's easy to use and has never let me down. The upgrade price, I feel, is reasonable. ($17 = two 6 packs of beer). If you can't afford that, you have other choices.  
(Version 3.0)

RADD  Had a problem... developer responded within 5 minutes. That alone makes Transmit worthy of consideration.

But beyond that, Transmit is a solid FTP app, and 3.0 adds a lot of very cool and handy features.

Another excellent product in a long list from Panic.

ANONYMOUS  I'm happy that they included my one feature request, dragging between FTP windows. But since I was satisfied with all the rest of the previous version and don't need the rest of the upgrade, I feel like I have to pay $18 for Transmit to do the one thing they needed to do to catch up to the rest of the field. Ah well, at least they did.

OMRUDI  Transmit has always been a staple in my web toolkit since version 1.x. Solid as a rock. Interesting new and helpful features, and good support.

ANONYMOUS  I've been using Transmit for a few years now. I really like it. Never crashed or corrupted any files like Fetch does sometimes.

Although I think transmit is the best FTP ap out there, I'm not terribly impressed with the 3.0 new features.

column view is nice. tabs are cool. Auto-permission at upload is handy. The rest is kinda so so... Not bad, but a whole point upgrade? I don't know, somehow it doesn't feel justified and I don't think I'll be paying the $18 upgrade price for tabs and column view - maybe I'm just cheap...  
(Version 3.0)

RICK  Give it a chance! I have used this program for the last few years and it has always performed fine for me. I think it has the best user interface for an ftp client that I have ever used.

ANONYMOUS  Flimsy underdeveloped rushed app. Never liked it. Captain FTP is much better. Fast and solid.  
(Version 3.0)

ANONYMOUS  I just tried to download a batch of files from a server that I know will take several days (It's slow, there's a lot of files, and I only have a limited amount of time each day to fetch the files) -- A perfect use of a batch. It's proven to be worthless. The first time it got an error (couldn't fetch list of files), the offending folder was deleted from the batch, then it went on to the next folder, errored, deleted it from the list, went on to the next, errored &deleted it, ... Pressing "Stop" made no difference, it kept moving on to the next folder, erroring and deleting. The only way that I could actually get it to stop purging folders from my batch was to continuously click on "Stop" and then use "Enter" to dismiss the error alert that popsup.  
(Version 2.6.2)

SILICA  I bought this program. I like the interface. I have one problem in connecting with an FTP server. The developer is terrible about answering email. It takes a week to get a response, if that rapidly. It's been 3 weeks, and I've had one communication from the developer and that was a request for a transcript, which I returned immediately. Color me dissatisfied.  
(Version 2.6.2)

ZOOM77  I have no problem resuming uploads. I do have a problem with this though.

Login to a FTP server. Then click once something on the server. Hit Apple+C to copy the url to the pasteboad. Paste it somewhere. There it is your password in plain text!!! That's kind of insecure.  
(Version 2.6.2)

PORCUSTAL  Only thing i have found to be a major problem is that uploads aren't resumable. This is really really bad when uploading large files. :(  
(Version 2.6.2)

KLONDIKE KID  Been using the software for over six months now and really giving it a work out. I maintain a number of sites with daily file updates on most. This program is a real workhorse and has not failed or crashed in all the time I have been running it on OS X 10.3.5 on a G5 Dual 2ghz and an iBook G4.

The features are so intuitive you can run this program right from the "box" without any help. I really love the ability to change file names on the HD and remote servers as easily as in a Finder window. And the "highlight-cmd-delete" for instant file deletion is a real time saver. Multiple Ques makes it great for maximizing bandwidth usage. And simultaneous multiple sessions increases my productivity for updates to several servers at the same time.

I haven't found a single flaw in this program yet. Rock solid stability. My hat's off to Panic for an exceptional product. And to think I was using Fetch since 1995 until just a few months ago. Halleluja!  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  I love how when I copy a file and then paste the text I see my password in cleartext. Why even bother hiding the passwords at all when they are added as a Favorite?  
(Version 2.6.2)

WILL  This is a pretty good FTP program, however it is far from perfect.

When I download a complete directory, it freezes on file which it cannot download. It would be good if it skip over and continue downloading more. Maybe produce a report at the end.

I have just come across problems when trying to download a JPEG, and it created an empty directory on my Mac.

Cyberduck deals with file properly.  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  excellent program, very stable, very cool, nice interface. That's what Panic programs are. Transmit beats all of its competitors, and is well worth the price.   
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  When you read some of these bug fixes you have to wonder. The interface is perfect; it's the programming that's downright flaky.  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  Why can't we have selective uploads and downloads?

I mean, why can't we specify only HTML files for example? '*.htm*'?

And when you start a big upload or download, the views do not follow what the program is doing - they stay stock still and you see little snippets of paths and you have NO CLUE where the program is and how far it's got!

And heavens, but you could click all over the place and start changing directories right in the middle of a big transfer - what would happen? I don't dare try to figure that one out - this is multi-threaded FTP, but I don't think these Transmit boys have a clue. It's wide open and anything goes. More like a hackers tool than a commercial app.

When you're transferring a directory hierarchy, the program should follow you along. When it goes down to a subdirectory, both views should follow along.

And PLEASE - when you finish a transfer operation, update (refresh) the views? Seeing the file size on the right does me no good when I realize the program is not reporting back on the size of the upload, but only 'stealing' the data from 'your stuff'! Just refresh the wretched listing please!

And how many times can you not see what's really happened in 'your stuff' - Transmit will not do a hard refresh. Like with Camino, if you refresh, Camino tries to figure out what needs updating, but if you do Shift-Refresh, Camino will reload everything.

But Transmit has no way to force a complete refresh. If you copy and move files in Terminal while Transmit is working, Transmit won't see the changes and you can click the Refresh button for a year and nothing will change.

I wrote to Caleb and he said 'change directory and then change back' is that any solution? When the program starts up it can see what's there - why can't it do it again?

Grrr!  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  The design is nigh-on perfect, but the coding is dangerous. I've lost important files because of this app. It's got multiple execution threads going all over the place with the rationale 'if you can find a button to click, it's ok' and that just doesn't work.

Right from the get-go there are logical bombs all over the place. The Connect button is enabled even though you don't have a server listed there yet. You can ask the program to refresh a listing, but it's involved in another operation and the request goes in a queue and by the time it comes out you're refreshing the wrong list.

Watch how Get Info works on remote directories - 'their stuff'. When you click 'Apply Now' the selection in 'their stuff' MOVES DOWN to the next file but the Get Info box stays on screen - no correlation. And that selection in 'their stuff' is going to get you in trouble: if you choose to delete a file on 'their stuff' while Transmit is uploading, your 'delete' operation will go in a queue, but Transmit has not noted what file you want deleted.

And then when it gets around to deleting for you, the selection has moved because of the upload and the wrong file is deleted.

This is dangerous!

I like Transmit - I like the layout and the thinking behind it. But whoever these programmers are, they need to grow up and get their act together. They should take a lesson from their design team who have done an excellent job.

Transmit is the best FTP program for OS X but it's way to buggy to be taken seriously.  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  It doesn't refresh either your stuff or their stuff correctly. This is very lame. And it disallows common Unix commands on Unix servers. This is downright dumb.  
(Version 2.6.2)

TRIBULATIO  After switching to the Mac in March, I was looking for a FTP client, compared several ones - and discovered Transmit.

It is excellent: it works well, it has many more features than one would suspect at first sight (for instance, it is very easy to define CHMOD). Really user-friendly, and much more user-friendly than other products which I had used on PC before or some other Mac products which I checked. Very stable too. One of the best tools on my Mac!  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  Absolutely brilliant. All I could ask for from a ftp client.  
(Version 2.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  This looks like it's probably a pretty good application. Unfortunately, it doesn't support public key authentication for SFTP, which makes it unusable. I wish I could test it out, but as I'm sure is a common security policy, my login accounts at work do not use passwords, and this app won't connect without one.  
(Version 2.6.2)

DOUGLAS ENGELBART  Insanely great.

Best Uploader for your WebPages!

And using the "Transmit Favorites Importer 1.0" (panic.com) you can import all your recent/old Classic Transmit FTP-Accounts easily.

I wish the OSX-Terminal had such a GUI!

:-)  
(Version 2.6.2)

GEORGE KRUEGER  I just happily sent in my registration fee for this application. This is the best FTP client for the Macintosh (especially OSX) that I've tried. It is quick and easy to use. It allows you to edit documents right from the server. It has a very intuitive bookmark system. In short, this has everything you could want in an FTP client.

I just want to reiterate how quick this application is. Other FTP clients seem slow as a DOG when changing directories. I used to just do most of my uploads from the command line because of that. I don't get that with this program, and that is the primary reason I chose to purchase this FTP client, as opposed to any of the others out there.  
(Version 2.6.2)

BRENT TRAUT  What does an ideal FTP application look like? It looks like Transmit X 2.6.2. As far as FTP applications go, this is the best.

Transmit's FTP capabilities are as great as many other clients available today, but in my opinion, it's best feature is it's bookmark handling. It allows users to set up all the basic FTP bookmarking preferences, but also allows for a local folder display. When I go to log onto my server for btraut.com, it not only logs me on but also displays all the files in my Sites/btraut.com/ folder. This allows me to use it hand in hand with whatever web editor I want.

Transmit doesn't have every feature underneath the sun. It does, however, have every one needed for perfect ease of use. It has everything needed for a professional, but isn't so bogged down with bells and whistles that a beginner can't use it.

Although Transmit isn't free, its price is extremely reasonable. I paid for my copy soon after downloading it.

BOB_WEINER  Transmit is one of the finest programs I've had the pleasure to use on the Macintosh. It does its job, and does it well! My favorite feature is 'synchronize', which automatically uploads the appropriate files and folders that have changed since my last website update. I continue to rely on it for maintaining pcweenies.com. Highly recommended.

MONICA  Simply the best. Most stable, most reliable, neatest interface, allows you to do everything you'll need to do to publish your website and more. I love the ability to edit a text document right in the application itself. And many other "little" things that make using this application a breeze. The support from Panic is fantastic. Well worth the price.

DANA SUTTON  If you don't need SSL and just want a simple and straightforward FTP client, this is the one. Trust me.

AVFOLK  Transmit is the best choice for FTP client.

In over two years as a user, it has proven to be powerful, easy to configure and use, supports bookmarks, automatic log-ins, and upgrades and improvements are frequent and fair. Absolutely no complaints at all. Very fair price. Cannot comment on tech support -- we've never needed any.   
(Version 2.6.2)

PAUL INGRAHAM  Best in class. Not a single complaint. I can't imagine a better FTP client. Worth every penny.

Panic offers superb documentation and support as well... not that I've ever really needed it. But they've responded immediately to every email I've ever sent them about this or any of their other products... mostly kudos and feature requests. :-)  
(Version 2.6.1)

AGGRO  I'm a bit disappointed with Transmit. I have a "Rumpus" server on a Mac G3 Minitower running OSX 10.2.8 for composing my music and need people to be able to log in and download.

Now out of my hundreds to thousands of sound samples, if there is a SPACE in the name of the file, Transmit always comes back with errors that the file may not be found.

Also, I have a pretty in-depth folder structure and 75% of the folders can not be entered nito because for some odd reason, they are not even recognized and do not even show up in the Transmit FTP window.

Also, when someone tries to download a sample FILE, it shows up as a FOLDER on their computer with NOTHING in it and even if its attributes are changed, it is still unopenable.

What's the deal Panic! $25.00 for this! WTF! I'll stick with Fetch or Vicom FTP. NEVER a problem with those.  
(Version 2.6.1)

ANONYMOUS  Still no SSL support which is needed to communicate securely with many other servers  
(Version 2.6.1)

ANONYMOUS  Excellent FTP Program. Used it in 9 and now using it in 10. Worth the $25 not to be bothered by other freeware programs or the 10 min. time limit with the demo version.

When a client needs and FTP program I always recommend Transmit, and they have ALL been pleased by its ease of use.  
(Version 2.6)

CHICKEN GEORGE  How do I stop Transmit talking italian to me? I am using a german system but Transmit is unable to use this system language.

Anyone can help?  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  The best solution for FTP on a Mac bar none.  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  At first Transmit seems like a very good product, with a nice layout and interface and good performance. But it doesn't preserve date/time of transferred files, which makes it worse than useless for synchronizing files.

Moreover, when I pointed this out to the people at Panic, they first said they would refund my purchase, but they have not done so 10 days later.

I have to recommend staying away from Transmit until they iron out the problem with file date synchronization.  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  I gave it a try, but I find the interface overly cute. Drawers aren't great for previews. "your stuff." and "their stuff." ? It's all my stuff! Why not show useful labels, like the FTP address and local computer name? Or at least shy away from all-lowercase sentence fragments with periods....  
(Version 2.6)

MICHAEL SIDORIC  Transmit is by far the best FTP client -- and their support, on the one occasion we needed it, was professional and extremely helpful. Panic is a long-time supporter of Macs and Mac users, and I have nothing but the highest regard for their products, their ethics, and their professionalism.  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  I just can't understand why commercial SFTP clients (other than the free Fugu) can't seem to preserve modification times on transfer?  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  Transmit is undoubtedly a good piece of software. It's got the best interface I've seen in an FTP client.

I am quite disappointed with Panic's customer policy, though. I don't think they care much about their customers. (I wonder if they can afford it). Their support team has a very irritating way of almost talking down to you, I think it's quite arrogant. They probably think they are really cool and their users are idiots.

I've purchased Transmit, and I like the software, and it's a pity there's no real alternative, otherwise I'd regret having given them money.

ANONYMOUS  By far the best FTP client I've come across. Great interface and features; very stable.  
(Version 2.5.1)

BG  Transmit is great. I only have a few issues: No "column view". I hate the list view it forces. Too hard to navigate back and forth, which you do a lot with FTP. Also I think it has too much wasted screen space. What's with the huge borders around the "My stuff" and "Their stuff" panes? I'd like the scroll bar for the pane on the right to be flush with the edge of the window so I can just flick my mouse to the right side of the screen and scroll, like most other applications (I also have the same issue with iTunes ugh). It would also be very cool if they had a tabbed interface so I could have several sessions opened at once (multiple windows is way too cumbersome). Even so, Transmit is the best you will find on the Mac (though some Windows ftp clients make me jealous).

KARL BECKER  I've always gotten by with an old shareware version of Vicomsoft FTP (the Lite version, which was absolutely free!) until I switched to Mac OS X. Since then (about a year ago!) I've been using various versions of Transmit and just always doing a quick upload before the ten minutes expired (I don't use FTP too much).

But I just bought it after having enough of this nonsense. This is a great FTP program that I'm sure will only continue to get better with the years. Panic's a great company, I'm glad to pay them a little cash!

AP.  FTP for the majority of users. I ALWAYS try to steer Mac users to this product. I've used it for two years (started out in classic) and it's always been easy and trouble free. There are lots of nice features in other (more expensive and less user friendly) FTP apps for Mac and PC, but I've never really missed them using Transmit.  
(Version 2.5.1)

ANONYMOUS  Excellent FTP Program ....BUT.......

SSL support needs to be added to be considered a real contender to be used with most servers in the real world. For encryption, SFTP is great but is really only used on UNIX servers and macs at this point. Most windows servers with encryption are using SSL currently and thus needs to be added to be completely full featured

ANONYMOUS  Outstanding application! I've been using Transmit for quite some time. I moved from the OS9 version as soon as Transmit X was avaliable. This latest version is faster. I like the icon ; )  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  (sorry, I left out some words) Please read: "when Anonymous says if you are having trouble getting Transmit to work you need to check your system configuration, he means you need to check your firewall settings.  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  The best FTP client just got a lot better (except for the lame icon). When Anonymous says if you are having trouble getting Transmit to work, he means you need to check your firewall settings.

JAY CONTONIO  I am a happy owner! Purchase this product!  
(Version 2.5)

KRISHNA SADASIVAM  Excellent update to a utility I have come to rely on for the last several years. Transmit has proven itself to be stable, quick, and full-featured. Version 2.5 does seem to be even more responsive than the previous version. Kudos to Panic!  
(Version 2.5)

ANONYMOUS  I've been using FTP for years, on various platforms, with various front-end clieents (in addition to command-line transfers using telnet and ftp).

Transmit is among the best FTP clients I've used yet, in particular for its stability, simplicity & speed.

Those who posted that they're having problems might want to look at how their systems are setup, rather than blame Transmit.

This client is rock solid. After a month or so of trials (and trying other apps, like RBrowser lite, fetch, etc.), I paid for it happily. It is obviously head-and-shoulders above the rest.

I agree I'd like to see the tabbed features in a future release! That would be the icing on the cake...  
(Version 2.3)

M.E.  Best of breed. Beautiful, intuitive, full-featured, functional, powerful...

FTP for the rest of us!

I registered!  
(Version 2.3)

ANONYMOUS  This one is the best application for FTP and more. I've been using Transmit since version 1.0 and have always found it to be a solid work horse.

It has enabled me to take care of file management for multiple sites with ease and consistant performance year after year.

I've used multiple applications for both PC and Mac over the years and always launch Transmit when there is serious work to be done.

Thanks to the guys at Panic for some excellent software that is way beyond anything else available. This app (along with GraphicConverter and a couple of others) are at the top rung of shareware.  
(Version 2.2)

MCLOKI  Just buy the program. It's rock solid and works great. Drag and drop FTP at it's finest. try it with the itunes look with metalizer Haxie. It looks cool and tough.

Metal TRANSMIT FTP. Strong like bull.  
(Version 2.2)

ERIC  I was using Transmit for several months. After this new release I have to ditch it! There are no any improvements just making a fuse. SFTP crashes, BBEdit freezes, speed is under any words, support the worst I've ever met! That's enough for me! bye Transmit. I'm going to RBrowser. Even Lite is better.  
(Version 2.1)

DAN  One word, WOW!!  
(Version 2.1)

BLEE  Great Job, a major improvement from the last beta I was beginning to think that they would never release a final version. As tempted as I am to pay for a full copy theres still atleast 1 feature that I'm looking for that LiFtp has which is tabbed browsing for connecting to multiple servers so instead of opening a new window to connect to another server a new tab is opened in the current window to connect to a new server. Liftp is still in beta but it's showing much progress with atleast 1 update a week sometimes 2 or 3.

BASTIAN BENSE  Nothing to say. Still the best.
