The gold standard of macOS file transfer apps just drove into the future. Transmit 5 is here. Upload, download, and manage files on tons of servers with an easy, familiar, and powerful UI. Transmit 5 has… MORE SERVERS. Transmit now connects to 11 new cloud services, like Backblaze B2, Box, Google Drive, DreamObjects, Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, and Rackspace Cloud Files. And yes, Transmit still handles the classics — FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and S3 — better than any. We make complex services drag-and-drop simple. MORE SYNC. Transmit 5 now includes Panic Sync, our secure and fast way to sync your sites. And our robust File Sync feature adds support for local-to-local and remote-to-remote sync, while also giving you more fine-grained control. MORE SPEED. We disassembled Transmit’s engine and rebuilt it, again, to significantly boost speed. T5 is better at multithreading and smarter about complex folders. Plus it’s got a new activity view to better focus on what Transmit is doing right now. It’s very fast. MUCH MORE. - Get Info Sidebar. Inspect items as you browse, right in the browser. - Batch Rename. Powerful, flexible, and built-in for local or remote. - Places Bar. Jump to your favorite folders with a single click. - Keys. Manage and generate secure keys right in Transmit. - Tags - Local-local sync - 2-Factor Login - Open in Terminal - Brand New UI - Extra Large Amazon S3 File Support - And So Much More We hope you enjoy using Transmit.

Very useful, but confusing interface and poor help/instructions

I like this app very much but it took fussing around with clicking little pictues in the interface to figure out how to switch between files being accessed over internet connections and local files accessible to the computer. It wouldn't take much to make this more intuitive, and it also wouldn't take much to provide a user guide or at least a quick start document or quick start video.I will continue using this. I was using ForkLift before, but this app lets me access DropBox easily and that's what makes this a killer app in my case.

Expensive subscription, confusing, time-consuming

Back in the '90s and early 2000s, anyone who worked on the internet needed an FTP utility. They were usually free, or very inexpensive shareware. Then along came various services like Dropbox with their own uploaders, and along came social media, and an FTP utility was less needed. Sometimes, though, I still need to upload a large file to a directory on one of my domains. And every year, this app auto-renews and I realize "I'm paying a large sum every year for this FTP, might as well use it." Then I open the app and I can never log into my site. It just doesn't seem to save my password, or doesn't like the one I use. And I end up having to log into my web-hosting service to look up my FTP settings and my password (and those are always hard to find). By the time I've done all that, I figure I might as well upload my file using the File Manager inside my web-hosting service. So I don't use Transmit after all that hassle. If you manage sites where you need to upload files to various directories every day, this subscription-based app might be ideal for you. If you only need to use this once or twice a year like I do, maybe not.

Giant Footprint on Screen

POSITIVES: FTP is fast and easy, can use drag and drop from folders on my computer and not have to mess with all the security issues with the server side of the app, since I'm already logged into my computer securely. It took only minutes to install and start FTP-ing.NEGATIVE: It has a giant screen footprint, and I can't find any way to make it smaller. There's no way to make the huge server side of the window go away, even though I don't use it. So annoying! When I'm building webpages, have several programs open, every millimeter of screen space matters. A small footprint is a MUST!

Long time user, a workhorse of an app

I have used transmit since the very earliest days. If you are looking for a bulletproof FTP app, then this is it. It just works. There are plenty of FTP apps but this one has always just worked, across any flavor of server I have connected it with.It supports all the things you need (such as SFTP, certificate management, rules engine, drag files onto the destination rather than the 2-window method (but the 2 window is the default), etc). It has a bookmark sync function so all your macs have the same bookmarks if you want that (so valuable)

• S3: Fixed an issue with copying, moving, or renaming folders in some configurations • Addressed a case where replacing local files or folders would add "2" to the name
