That's great news! Panic Inc's latest release, Transmit 4, sounds like an impressive file transfer application rather than just an ordinary FTP client. | www.drywallmarietta.com

Hey Matt,

I just ran across your blog by doing a search on Google. Thanks for the info! I’m now just getting into Amazon S3 (I know, welcome to 2008…) and I was looking for an FTP client to support it. So far, it seems as though Transmit is living up to the hype

Best,

Simeon

I tried Transmit 2 a long time ago, and just recently decided to do the 7-day trial of Transmit 4 (also considering the switch from CyberDuck).

To me, it looks amazing, and the fact that I can still edit files directly from my server using TextMate (the best text editor in my opinion) is incredible.

It’s faster, cooler-looking and offers more than CyberDuck, so I’m taking the plunge.

I might stick with Cyberduck too. Transmit really does look great, but it’s slightly hard to justify shelling out for a pure-FTP app as well. Especially when Espresso is going to take care of the guts of my FTP needs!

I’ve been playing with the Coda demo just. I thought they had a far nicer website than Espresso, but when you read them, the feature lists are basically the same. And after trying the 2 demos, Espresso’s has the far nicer interface I think. Everything is just incredibly sleek and polished!

The only thing I noticed that Coda had over Espresso was SSH. I know it’s not a big deal because of Terminal, but still, it was nice having the option to do that all in one place (Not exactly a major issue though…)

I currently use the free CyberDuck FTP client, as I don’t have the spare cash to buy the full version of Transmit quite yet. (I do want to switch.)

As a text editor, I use two apps. I use the free TextWrangler (the younger sibling of BBEdit) for light editing. Feature-wise it’s right up there with Windows packages like Notepad+. When I’m working on a multi-file project, I’ll use Espresso. It’s along the same lines as Coda, but cheaper. I like the look of Coda though.

I still haven’t settled on a text-editor and FTP app for Mac yet, but Transmit really does look awesome. The only thing that makes me nervous now is that I read a lot of comments saying Coda needs an update. Don’t want to spend the $100 now to find a massive upgrade to it as well in a few months

Then again, I don’t want to go a few months without a good text editor either…
