Transmit 3.6.7 is available
Earlier this week, one of the applications that I use every day, Panic's Transmit, was updated to version 3.6.7. Since the previous version was 3.6.6, this seems like a minor update, but it does bring some welcome bug fixes, including- Re-worked preview drawer to avoids possible transfer stalls
- Fixed S3 uploads with files greater than 2 GB
- Fixed a problem in which files may be deleted when moving them into a subfolder
- Improved S3 copied URLs when connecting to the EU S3 server
I also appreciate the tight integration with another Panic product, Coda. Simply right-click on a html or PHP file, for instance, and select "Edit with Coda."
Finally, the UI is so friendly and Mac-like that even a person who has never used an FTP app before will feel comfortable.
Thanks, Robert!

Why spend 30 bucks on it when we have Cyberduck...? How is this better ?

Well, I right-click and choose "Edit with TextMate" ;)

Re: Cyberduck;
I've tried just about every FTP app that's made for the Mac, and Transmit and YummyFTP are by far the best (I think YummyFTP easily edges out Transmit though.) What's better about this (and Yummy) is that they can handle uploading 40,000 files without choking and closing the connection somewhere in the middle. Uploading some web apps requires a lot of files to be transferred, and you can't have an FTP app just give up.
That being said, my personal recco is still YummyFTP. Which has a lot of really nice features for grabbing webURLs, sharing droplets and bookmarks, organizing bookmarks, quicklook, and it's just a solid FTP app to boot.

What he said.
And it's not just lots of files, it's large files as well. When I have to FTP proofs to a book publisher at work, Cyberduck would choke every time part way through. Transmit finishes the job the first time, every time.
The droplets are handy, too, but really just a "nice to have." It's the fact that Cyberduck, while great for smaller files or smaller number of files, can't seem to keep up with larger tasks.

I used to use this program all the time until Leopard came out because all it did was crash my MacBook Pro. Transmit never had an answer for this instability and I run a clean system. So I switched to Yummy.

I use Forklift.
Transmit had very poor Asian encoding support since version 3.6. (I'm not sure, but the version for Leopard, I think.)
And the drawer design looks outdated.
Plus, Forklift gives you the ability to "quicklook" remote files and plenty more, you can explore the 1.6 beta 3, which is definitely worthy a try.

Yummy misses the shortcut drawer which changes depending on which server you are logged in to. It remembers shortcuts to both local folders and remote.
Transmit also has a live preview as Forklift, except if Forklift uses QuickLook, which would be nice.

This is like the first update in like 6 months! I'm glad it squashed some annoying stalling bugs!

My problem with yummy is that you can only specify a text editor, whereas with Transmit you can open images in pixelmator etc. Also an ex-colleague of mine used yummy and it stopped uploading files that were being remotely edited for no apparent reason.

I like Cyberduck. Free, and it integrates with a bunch of code editors, like TextMate.

Coda's a winner, Transmit isn't.

I would make the jump to Coda but won't until they have side by side transfer windows.
The only drawback I can find is that I like to have my remote server in one window and my local in the other like Transmit has...
