    I'm only doing "simple" operations (upload, browse, download) - I use Transmit https://panic.com/transmit/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • HTML / PHP / CSS / JavaScript IDE for MacOS?
    Nova by Panic is by far the most polished and "Mac-like" one out there. Panic also makes Transmit, which has been the go-to FTP/SFTP Mac client for about 20 years (but Nova has the same SFTP engine built-in.). Source: over 1 year ago

    Transmit is also one of them. Check that out. https://panic.com/transmit/. Source: over 1 year ago

    Transmit: Upload, download, and manage files on tons of servers (I also use Forklift as backup). Source: almost 2 years ago
  • FTP software that can pause / resume downloads?

  • Is there a services where one can host static files for free (or cheap) like Amazon S3 and have https and sftp access?
    I work on Squarespace. Often I wanna link external css or js files via code injection and be able to use a text editor like Sublime Text, and an FTP client or SFTP or whatever (I use transmit) and when I hit save, the file would be saved and when I refresh, nice! The css or js file is changed. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Tools to install on a new MacBook
    What web dev apps I use... Are mac-only? - Laravel Valet + PHP Monitor will be an intuitive substitute for XAMPP; - Homebrew - package manager; - Kaleidoscope - excellent diff; - Transmit - excellent FTP client; - Sequel Ace - SQL client, successor to Sequel Pro, though the interface has suffered; - Paw - API tool (better interface than Postman); - ImageOptim - image compression; - Alfred App - quick launcher (not...

  • Foundry Sync with Cloud server
    I'm on macOS, so probably not relevant I'm afraid. But it's Transmit that I use. Source: over 2 years ago
  • can someone tell me whats wrong with my onedrive?
    Alternatively you could use a 3rd-party client, like CloudMounter (makes your OneDrive behave like a flash drive), Transmit (generic file manager that can connect to a lot of servers), or just the OneDrive web app. The benefit of all 3 over the official app being that it's not Microsoft and it doesn't have to sync stuff down ;).

  • What are your favourite mac apps ?
    Transmit - For moving files from here to there (FTP, SFTP, S3). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Apple proposes adding a element to HTML that displays 3D content
    Based on the comments so far, I think I'm in the minority who think this would be a good feature for the web. This proposal might not be perfect, but I think the idea is great. There's lots of good reasons to semantically want to embed a 3d model in a page, like any other type of media. Say you're writing a course explaining how differential gears work - a 3d model of that could be really handy to look at to... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Store and share passwords among Linux, Mac and Windows in a local network
    Alternatively if you don't like CLI, there are GUI options such as WinSCP on Windows and Transmit by Panic on Mac and Filezilla on both. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
  • Return of the Mac (2005)
    Cyberduck is an odd choice for a file transmission app showcase, Panic's Transmit (https://panic.com/transmit/) is much better. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
  • Anyone got experience loading games onto a modded Xbox HDD via ethernet using a Mac?
    OS X has a command-line FTP client and there are several GUI-based FTP clients too: Commander One, Transmit, CyberDuck, etc. Source: about 3 years ago
