The status panel on fetch bug me too much.įetch, Transmit and NetFinderX are definitely the apps to watch. Then again, transmit does not have a keyboard shortcut for deleting files. Unlike Transmit, NetFinder X does not let you turn off the delete confirmation screen (neither does fetch) and that really dirves me up a wall. Right now I plan on waiting to see what happens to the bugs in Transmit and NetFinderX. Fetch was the only program that choked on the upload.
I got an OpenTransport error and could not upload all files. I could not do the upload test on Fetch (150 very small files). I just finished looking at NetFinderX and Fetch (and a little more at Transmit). Critical - Crashed when I tried to download files Major - Could not use popup path for navigation (afterwards I could not navigate into subfolders)Ĥ. Major - Could not make folder on remote systemģ. Critical - Hangs if I open it and switch to another application and switch back to FielFetcher.Ģ. Minor - Has that funny bug in which text looks all funky colors (I read in another thread that this is a bug in RealBasic).ģ. Major - takes huge amounts of screen space (especially when considering that there is no feedback unless the queue window is open)ġ. Major - No facility to easily setting remote permissionĩ. Major - Have to navigate into user directory to access the desktopĦ. Major - No useful drag and drop (it seems as if drag and drop returns a session log)ģ. Minor - Has same funny bug with colored text as File Fetcher.Ģ. Very aggravating minor - cannot select or drag and drop files by name as it automatically enters into the renaming modeġ. positive - when you return to an FTP site, it remembers where you were at lastĨ. Major - Have to navigate into user directory to access the desktop\ħ. Major - no real support for BBEdit (does not auto upload changed files)ĥ. Minor - selecting a folder via arrow keys in keyboard open the folder (list view)Ĥ. Major - no drag and drop support - cannot hide local files because cannot upload/download without that displayģ. With so many other classic apps, Anarchie is still better choice for the moment.ġ. Also, GUI wastes more space than I would like. Not as fast as RBrowser, but it feels more responsive when navigating.īottom Line: Most likely candiate to use as an OS X native FTP client, but current bugs will limit usefullness. Minor - if uploading files and editing a file at the sam time, Transmit crashes after I save the edited file (and the upload from transmit begins) Minor - if BBEdit and BBedit Classic are installed, editing a file will launch BBEdit lite.ĥ. Minor but annoying - delete key jumps selection to top of list and forward delete key jumps to the end of listĤ. positive - download speed of many small files is very goodģ. Major - When saving files in BBEdit, Transmit crashes when trying to upload fileĢ. Keyboard navigation, including the ability to open in same window or new window at will (by changing modifier keys).ġ. Ability to turn off display of local files.ġ0. Drag and Drop for both upload and download.ĩ. Ability to delete remote files and directories (including recirsive delete).Ĩ. Ability to set file permissions and ability to set upload permission defaultsħ. Ability to edit files in remote server using BBEdit (and have FTP client upload updated files as I save them in BBEdit)Ĥ. Ability to quickly list directories with thousands of filesģ. Speed - escpecially, uploading/downloading several hundred very small files.Ģ. If there is no feedback for a particular feature, that means is appears to work.ġ. Note: Nothing is as good as Anarchie 3.8, but even classic is getting long in the tooth for me. I started looking for a new FTP program, but I did not seem to be able to find anything that I really liked, so I started looking more rigorously at the thing that I would like in a program and then I started trying different programs.īelow are the notes that I've written to myself so far: Mostly, I got ticked-off when I realized that I could no longer download older versions of their FTP program. With version 5, they have added more features that I do not need. I have been using Anarchie until (IMHO) it went to the toilet in v4.0 while at the same time getting very expensive ($45). I FTP *a lot* (at least I like to think that I do ) while creating web sites.
