CyberDuck is great. Apparently it barely holds a candle to Transmit by Panic, but great nonetheless.

Does Transmit allow you to open more than one instance at a time?

I've just come from Windows where I could have multiple Filezilla windows open, connected to different sites. I found that I cannot do the same with FZ in OS X, unless I seriously missed something.

Edit: Did a quick browse on panic.com but doesn't look like Transmit allows this either. Is there another FTP client that can run multiple instances?

Edit2: looks like I was wrong. Transmit appears to support multiple windows. :thumbsup:

Tabs
Many connections, one window.

Now just need to figure out how to convert from Filezilla's XML into Transmit Favorites. <<< Is this possible? Can't find much on Google.

I loved cyber duck, until I had to transfer 300 small files to a server. After 8 minutes I closed it, downloaded filezilla and had the files uploaded in about 1 minute. Sure filezilla is ugly as sin, but it works.

Cyberduck is SLOW on a LAN. I have a 100 Mbit LAN at home and was transferring some movies from one computer to another. Cyberduck ran at 10 Mbit speeds. I switched to fetch, 100 Mbit.

open up the terminal. type "ftp". there you go!

there's also a utility called "curl" that should come standard on a mac os installation. if you're good at writing shell scripts, you can use that to automate mass downloads/uploads

Just want to report back that Transmit is great... I'm using it in conjuction with Textmate and when I save a file in TM (opened from Transmit) it automatically uploads it back onto the server. Fantastic... I couldn't do this in Windows.
