For those skeptical about synchronization, there is a simulation mode that lets you see what files would be modified, just so you can see what files would be changed and alter the settings to get your desired effect. No worrying about which files I need to overwrite or forgetting to delete an unused file - Transmit's got my back. With synchronization, I can locally edit my K2 folder for a redesign, for example, without any internet as the campus connection is prone to such misfortune and when I regain a connection, sync the folders. I've already used this for keeping a sync'd copy of my K2 theme folder on my desktop, which I'm always editing. The latter feature, synchronization, gives you a plethora of options and settings for maintaining two identical folders on your local machine and server. I'm always opening things in SubEthaEdit and editing them on the fly and now with the added perk of doing this with Photoshop there's no reason to look back. This is a fantastic feature that I'll be using for a long time. Once you hit "Save" in Photoshop, Transmit will automatically upload the file back to the server! Take what Cabel from Panic told me for example: For example, you can right click a ".gif", choose "Edit in Photoshop", and Transmit will download the file and open it in Photoshop. The cool part about this is that it's compatible with images. Similar to how you can right-click any file in OS X and open with the application of your choice, "Edit in Whatever" lets you edit any file, local or remote, in literally whatever application you wish. Now I would like to dwell a bit on the two new features that rank high in my books: Edit in Whatever and Synchronization. Right-click the folder of your choosing and select Save Droplet for Folder to use this feature. Create a droplet for your most used folder, place it somewhere convenient and drag files/folders on top of it to easily put them on your server. Transmit also grabs the favicons from each server you connect to that's some amazing attention to detail.Īnother great feature of 3.5 is a little wonder called droplets. Oh and did I mention it supports Column view! I'm a big fan of tabs as well - no need to open a second instance of Transmit to access your other server, as you have to do with many other FTP clients. This drawer eliminates the need for a right-click to find out simple file info. The information is also accompanied with a nifty preview box, which even displays images. Meanwhile, the drawer on the right, dubbed Preview, gives you the information for any currently selected file or folder local or remote. The one on the left, called sidebar, adds Finder functionality allowing you to easily find any file you might want to put on your server. The first thing will notice is a drawer on the left and another on the right. If you've ever used another FTP application such as Cyberduck or Fugu, you won't have any problem adapting to Transmit. Everything is where you would expect it to be. Transmit excels when it comes to the application's user interface. In addition to various bug fixes version 3.5 ushers in things universal binary support so you can run it on your latest Intel-powered Mac and indulge in the inclusion of some great new features. Things like dashboard integration with a simple drag and drop widget, local smart folders, bookmark syncing, automated workflows and more. Transmit has won several awards and most recently an Apple Design Award for using Tiger technology the most. Transmit is avaiable PPC, 68k, and FAT binary, which means it will work optimally for both PPC and 68k machines.If you are a mac user with any need for an FTP application, you have no doubt heard of Panic's Transmit. This is the ultimate FTP program for the macintosh, the one we've been waiting for. I never get this excited about a program before, its just that this program is chocked full of features and so speedy you have to try to believe.Īlthough this program is not shareware or freeware (its commercial software), the authors haven't disabled its functions in any way, they only ask for you to purchase the software for a nominal price of $24.95. I'm uploading the files listed below through Transmit as I'm typing up this page. It is completely engineered towards Mac OS 8 and even looks a whole lot better than any FTP program I've ever seen. Transmit sports a interface similar to the site hierarchy of Golive Cyberstudio. Although many people use Fetch for FTP, I stongly suggest that you switch to Transmit.
