Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

This looked promising, but has a fatal flaw: there appears to be no way to connect to a SSH sever on an alternate port (i.e. other than 22). There's no UI for entering a port number, and entering the server name in <server:port> syntax didn't work.

The Preferences menu is always dimmed. The XCopy Help menu, which is always active, just tells you that help is not available. (There is no documentation whatsoever with this product.) The 'Pay For XCopy' menu item is enabled, of course.

Worse, the app hung almost immediately, just by opening and closing a second session window. The shareware nag sheet that opens on top of every new window got orphaned and only a force quit would dismiss it. Tsk.
