Existing users, 
First of all I am in awe of anyone who can actually create an application of any type so any criticism by me is simply to be used constructively. I like simple, an FTP client should not be difficult to use by the average person. An application such as crushftp may have nice features but is very difficult to setup and get working.
This application is easy to setup but this one window GUI on some of the latest FTP clients drives me mad, Does anyone really like just the one window? Why would I want to open up my finder window and also open up Flow in order to transmit data to my server? Everyone I have talked to about this agrees that two windows, one for the data on your computer and one window for the server is the easiest to manipulate and understand.
Please consider a two window option as least. The speed seems comparable to most of the others on the Mac market. I have tested about 30 FTP clients between windows and mac in the last month and I am sticking for now with Transmit (solid) and Forklift (best GUI) for mac and CuteFTP (fast but ugly) and WS_FTP (the Transmit of the windows world) on windows.
For now I'm not sure that you should be charging for this application in it's current form when you have free apps like Cyberduck which perform as well. My advice would be to keep this in a free Beta mode until you reach a point where this app can separate itself from the pack. Once you can show the value of this product then the public will be more than happy to pay for this fine app.
Good luck and keep up the good work, but PLEASE give it a two window option...

I really don't understand this need to have a 2-pane view. You know what your files look like; they're your files. And the system already has a way to manage and view your files locally, and it's better than any 2-pane client could come up with, so why duplicate that all over again? Transferring files between an smb/afp server doesn't open a separate mine/theirs view, neither does transferring stuff to/from an iPod, flash drive or other external drive, so why should transfers between an ftp/sftp/webdav server?Web browsers transfer files in single pane. Ditto BitTorrent clients. Everything else transfers files via a single pane except, for some reason, FTP (and adjacent) programs; it's an archaic UI convention from old OSes that had ratsh!t (or non-existent) file managers and an absence of any concept of drag-and-drop. Mac OS X has none of those problems. You're going to have to eventually open the Finder window to get to the files anyway; 2-pane UIs require twice the navigation, once in the client and again in the Finder, even if it is via a "Show in Finder" command.
Stick with the one-pane UI. Srsly.

I think you forgot yummy FTP ....considerably more powerful and efficient than Transmit, but that's just my opinion.Reply to This
