Transmit 4 offers new features, faster performance

Having been a beta tester for Transmit 4.0 the improvements from 3 are amazing. While some bugs do still show (hey it's only a .0 release!) I can't stop loving it.

Panic continues to produce amazing products - way to go!

i found unison to be pretty stable and a great upgrade

i'll see how it goes with the new transmit which i was waiting for for a while now... the interface feels a bit too blinged up and it took me a while to find a few options like the folders on top feature which is great (hint.. apple .. hint)

can't wait to check out the file masking - especially useful if you have source files like flas in the same folder as your output files

Panic recently updated Unison as well. But the latest Unison is SO BUGGY I had to go back to the previous version.

It looks like Transmit 4 is ALSO VERY BUGGY. Where is Panic's Quality Control?

I will pass on this BETA quality software for now.

I have been using it for a while today and I am very please with this upgrade. It's nice to see they can make apps as slick as their site.

Just a correction in the article. Panic claims the new version is 25 TIMES faster, not 25%. Kind of a major difference. (Although having used it quite a bit this afternoon, I think your version seems more accurate. Of course, others' mileage may vary.)

It also supports SSH commands now. You can remotely zip/unzip files via SFTP. It makes uploading thousands of files even quicker when you upload as a zip file and then unzip them on your server.

I too have used Transmit for years. BUT....

4.0 is off to a bad buggy start. After downloading the app, I decided to try and upload/sync my laptop files to my idisk account.

in each case I selected to do a sync preview.
During that process when the app started comparing files it crashed immediately. Twice.

There's a bug waiting to be fixed!

I've been trying out the demo -- anyone else having trouble with how it handles smart folder contents? Combining that with a sync-to-remote-directory script would make a roll-your-own backup solution that would ROCK, but at the moment T4 does weird things: opening a smart folder through the T4 interface shows some items that shouldn't be in there and misses some that should.

Downloaded and purchased the upgrade this morning. I've been using Transmit for seven years and it went from awesome to pretty good since about the time Snow Leopard was released. I was having connection issues and there was a known bug affecting folder uploads that hung around for several updates. I was getting pretty annoyed and started looking at alternatives a couple weeks ago.

Nevermind. Transmit 4 is back to awesome. No problems at all, and the Disk feature is wonderful (I can actually export directly from within Aperture without the slowness or bugginess of Uberupload). The only thing I miss is the preview drawer. They need to put it back in.

Great upgrade. Don't even think twice about forking over the 20 bucks.

Unless I've been blind, but finally a "Date Modified" column. That alone makes Transmit a worthy contender is my arsenal. Unless it was always in Transmit 3, and I just overlooked it; same issue in Flow. Perfect timing, as well: I have three projects going on right now... J.
