don't like it anymore

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

I'm using Transmit for many years but recently change to CyberDuck because of the following:

When FTP copying large directories with many files (12MB) Transmit often does not copy all files because of permission problems (the same files copy perfectly well with other FTP clients)

Transmit then stops the whole transfer process and not just skips the files it can't copy so you have to baby-sit the whole transfer which is also reasonably slow.

If you "replace" files with Transmit it does not make the files the same permission as the replaced files which means a lot of manual work afterwards.

When you choose the replace option Transmit will actually first delete all files in the particular folder and then write the new files, this is not a replace but a delete first and i lost my config files from my shopping cart because of this.

The Sync option also does not work for me because of permission problems (again this files are transfered without a problem with any other FTP client I tried.

don't like it anymore - aoimedia

I'm a long time user of Transmit and have found my self using Cyberduck more and more due to the same issues.

I prefer the overall look and UI of Transmit, but at the end of the day, functionality and reliability are what matters with an FTP and Transmit just doesn't seem to be providing this at the moment.

For the record, I'm running Tiger 10.4.11/PPC.

don't like it anymore - echo

Transmit has always replaced files leaving the same permissions as the ones being replaced
