Pretty good FTP client, I use it most of the time for single file transfers,
however it seems to fail at uploading "upgrades" to existing software
on my site, eg, WordPress.
Even though I ask it to merge folders, it overwrites everything, including my
themes, which causes rather annoying issues.
It works without troubles. Supports a number of protocols including S3, which
is a plus.
The lack of a remote-to-remote transfer--using the local machine as a
bridge--prevents me from loving this little program. Not a make or break
feature, but immensely convenient when you need it.
Has some other neat features like the transparent remote editing of a
single file. But this similarly is not generalized enough--there isn't support
for transparent editing of entire directory trees.
Bookmarks aren't exposed to spotlight...I could go on and on with the
nitpicks. But for the price I certainly can't hold any of this against Transmit.
Transmit was one of the first third-party apps I got when I first got my Mac.
It amazed me then, and it continues to amaze me now. While Cyberduck and others
are good if you can't spend $20 for an FTP app, they can't compare to Transmit's
features, ease of use, and sheer Mac-like-ness.
I agree w/ tijs. I'm also a former Cyberduck/Fugu user and find Transmit
superior. I like the droplets and the ability to open files easily (similar to
WinSCP on the windows side).
Although it's payed software it's definately worth the price. I've tried both
Fugu and Cyberduck in the past and although they have their good point they
simply cannot sompete with the reliability that Transmit offers.

Filezilla, however, does not.
Ill rather use flashfxp for win
Great little FTP application, no trouble so far and has transferred many GB's without hassle.
Ok, thanks to Wakoopa I just found the FTP program that I wanted Transmit to be: ForkLift.

I've tried all the major clients and I find myself going back to Transmit time and time again. It's absolutely brilliant, the best FTP client, ever.
Best Mac OS X FTP Client hands down.

Not just the best FTP application on any platform, but one of my all-time favorite applications in general.
Transmit is outstanding FTP software.
