Terse error messages make mirroring of a reasonably large site impossible. An example error message: "Could not download xxxxxx.yyy. Couldn't get remote handle." With no path this error message is useless and the mirroring can't be done. Words about a "handle" do not help resolve the problem. It is clear that the developers did not try to provide useful error messages. So now off to find an ftp program that will work and produce meaningful error messages as needed.

YummyFTP - Cowicide
While I actually really like the Transmit interface better than YummyFTP, I have found that Yummy (despite its stupid, stupid name) actually performs better in some circumstances than Transmit especially if you are uploading lots of files. Sometimes I wish Transmit and Yummy would merge and share resources to make one badass FTP app with a great interface.For now I use Transmit for most FTP work and if it has trouble I'll resort to using YummyFTP in those cases. BTW, I've also found that YummyFTP uploaded faster as well when it's a bunch of files too, but YMMV of course.

Can be useless - chris garnons-williams
I have a Mac Mini and am developing a website with 96 folders and 97 separate documents. Each of the 96 folders can be uploaded separately using version 3.6.7, but when using version 3.6.9 uploading the ...index file document fails when it decides that it needs to create the first folder again and states that it cannot. It does not need to create this borage folder again, since I have not changed it. Reverting to 3.6.7 allows this ...index document to be uploaded and the contents of each of the 96 folders is also checked correctly taking about 25 minutes for 20880 files, without deciding to create the borage folder or any of the other 95 folders. I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8.Tuesday, October 27 2009 @ 02:01 PM PDT
Can be useless - helency
I have the same problem. I don't know if it's the encoding or something, sometimes, after the download is nearly finished and it is about to download the next one, there would be a 'could not download xxx, no such folder or file' msg, and the downloaded file is wiped off. For the same folder and file, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't....So frustrating! Could you tell me what application r u using now? I thanks.Reply to This
